smobey_sutton2 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Everyone says different things about different gauges so am after peoples opinions and experiences with gauges. Oil temperature, Oil pressure etc. Stri RacingPro SportDepoDefi Comments pleasseeee. Quote
Danb Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I had defis, sold them as I wanted different colour backgrounds to the ones I had, got a good deal on stri ones (boost oil temp/pressure and water) and there was no difference in the figures displayed - so can't fault the accuracy of them and have have a real touch of quality to them - you can tell they aren't a cheap autosport gauge.All comes down to budget, ill be keeping these gauges for when I get another car after my 200 Oh I previously have had auto gauge ones years ago when I had my starlet, had 1 gauge fail and 2 sensors.

smobey_sutton2 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Yeah i would like Stri Racing gauges but they are so expensive compared to the other options. Quote
Matt1878 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Defi's are the dogs cojonès in my opinion.Heard they are pretty accurate too Quote
Addymk2 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 http://www.epracing.co.uk/D1-Spec-Gauges/c-1-738/ Ive been using one of those boost gauges. Had it in for a few months now and I've been impressed. Had a few gauges before, but I like the aesthetics of these and they have a decent quality look to them once theyre put together! Well priced too considering the quality and the stepper motor. Quote
Asad Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Defi...don't disregard stack/omori/vdo gauges I'd love a shoot out between loads of diff gauges to compare accuracy see how the cheap stuff compares Quote
scottyb Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Id loveeeee defi gauges, mainly because they look feckin awesome Quote
pick1 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I have a stri gauge an must admit the quality is awsome as is very accurate but I also have two depo gauges which do look smart on the dash and seem to be reading fine nothing out of the ordinary so far Quote
Idrees Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Prosport are ace IMO. We've sold dozens and customers have always mentioned how much they love them. Quote
AdamB Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I got a set of STRI gauges, I got them fucking dirt cheap and tbh I can't fault them. I haven't used them yet, but the quality is spot on. Just to make you jelous I got:Water tempOil tempOil pressureVolts (Not really needed so prob sell it) All brand new in the box with sensors and wiring for £150 delivered lol. Quote
Liam_D Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I have Greddys cannot fault them apart from when you have to change the bulbs then they're a ball ache haha. These ones in fact! Quote

wikiz Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Ive just wired up my mechanical Prosport gauge. The whole reason I bought it was for a cheap gauge that looked the part. Think it cost me like £30 new. Its smoked, lights up green or white (you can buy different variations) Ive mounted mine on an replica apexi mount, cost me like £5 and looks the biz. Im currently running stock boost (0.65 bar as far as im aware) and the gauge reads 9.5 psi on full boost so to me seems accurate enough for my needs (boost was creepin in the frosty weather and fuel cutting in 4th @5000 rpm just wanted to know how much). Ive had no other experience of other gauges though I will say these do look great. They dont do a fancy dance on start up (electrical version may) but hey ho it was £30 for the kit and does what is needed. Also I cant say much for other than their boost gauges im afraid, seem a decent cheap brand though. Edited March 3, 2013 by WilkieGT Quote
