Do those gauges sweep on start up?
Also, what are all the buttons for? I understand the button on the speed-o, but what about the others?
Nice set up man! Looks freakin great, and what kind of paint did you use?
The only thing i found "customizable" on that site is this:
Eagle Gauge Glow Dials and Custom Gauges by SpeedHut
and:
Mitsubishi Gauge Glow Dials and Custom Gauges by SpeedHut
Maybe he can clarify?....
In any case love the project looks good.
I gotta say I am utterly impressed with your fit and finish overall. I'm so glad you went with a textured look instead of a gloss sheen. I LOVE the OEM style textures to really make these type of modifications blend in.
Did the texture paint create a slightly soft texture, sort of like rubberized splatter, or a hard texture closer to plastic?
Wow. That is just simply amazing! I may have to do this for my Talon!
Hey no problem but i just reallize i linked you to the non turbo ones because I was looking for myself . In any case if you havent found it already you need the turbo ones listed here:1. Thank you.
2. You have to actually select a gauge in order to customize it. This took me a while to find since they don't have a "Customize this gauge" link.
3. I wish I had seen that custom HVAC item (Mitsubishi Gauge Glow Dials and Custom Gauges by SpeedHut) before I ordered my gauges... Now I have to spend more money... Thanks...
Speedometers Gauge, Speedhut Gauge Series by SpeedHut
Just scroll to the bottom of the page and let the flash script load. You can't actually order the gauge without "customizing" unless you want the default gauge.
Back from the dead, how are the gauges holding up? Going to start on a project like this for my TSi. Very nice work, inspired me to spend some $$$$
Wow, that looks neat!
Holy crap that looks nice!
I didnt see a coolant temp gauge.. What are you doing for that?
I would love to start a project like this myself, however, I don't know squat about electrical systems other than audio. I've got a cancer running through mine and keep putting off trying to fix it, anyway back on point, is the wiring for these gauges pretty straightforward/idiot-proof? What really confuses me about this set up is this talk of the ECU, and the stock cluster. I'm guessing that the the ECU is bypassed and everything is hard wired, being controlled through ECM Link.
With my questions out of the way, I want to say your write up is pretty good. I'm only having issues following you with the wiring part.
I still, as of now, haven't gotten to the wiring stage. From what the instructions show, it appears to be pretty straight forward. All you have to do is either connect the gauge to an aftermarket sending unit, or find the factory signal within the car.
The fuel level gauge is a prime example of the latter. All you have to do is tap into the factory fuel level wires from your fuel tank and set your gauge to either full or empty, maybe tweak what resistance it needs to read properly, and you have a working fuel level gauge.
Hope this helps!
