Prosport Gauges?
 

Who has them and how do they like them?

I'm reading the reviews on them and some of them seem to have problems with quality and accuracy.

I'm curious because I am thinking I'll be unloading a fair amount of cash pretty soon for a set, and i'd like to have peoples opinion on them before I buy them.

If worse comes to worse I may have to just save and buy a digital dash, though I really don't want to. :(

i have the boost, water temp, egt, oil pressure, and oil temp. i like em IMO. i heard that the needle does not stay on 0 but i guess i was the lucky ones. they also have good customer service so if your gauge is defected they will replace it. these are a step down from the defi.

Oil temp and pressure here.

I thought somethign was wrong with them when I got them because in the boxes the needles pointed to arbitrary numbers.......but once they powered up they were fine.

Work great, awesome peak/hold warning features and affordable.

I like my own pair of Prosport gauges (see thread in this section for what I did with them.) The needles point at 0 when off and seem to be working just fine for me, and I have the oil temp and pressure gauges as well.

i have them also. im now having problems with the boost gauge looks like it may be the pressure sensor thats off but it has a one yr warranty so it should be covered.
i gotta send it to them.
+1 on customer support

agree with all of the above. They back their product which is a big deal to me. I guess everyone has seen their new center speaker gauge pod as well. If not:

ya i have a couple only using the boost and EGT right now fuel will come soon. as far as how the gauges are in my opinion you get what you pay for, but thier customer service is A++. my boost gauge is off by varing amounts dependent on ambient temp it seems anywhere from 0-1.5 psi. the EGT gauge works it takes a min to warm up the sensor and the response isnt instant but then im compairing it to aircraft EGT speed too so ???? these vehicle egt's may just be slower cause of the type of sensors maybe a different sensor would be faster. btu they work and do thier job without breaking the bank

anybody have the digital ones?

im gonna be building a custom gauge cluster and considering using the digital ones.

Are the K-type probes supplied with the Prosport EGT open, or closed element? Presumably closed, but you are correct that an open element would respond faster.

However I'm not sure exactly how long your gauge is taking to respond, even a closed type probe should closely follow the engine's condition, roughly 1-3seconds behind.....

I haven't tried the prosport digital gauges, but FWIW, I've used other digital display gauges before and find it hard to adjust to viewing the gauge, reading the number, processing if its good or bad. A needle type gauge I can immedeatley identify as inside or outside of where it should be...but thats just my feelings - thuoght I'd share though :)

Yep I'm dropping the dough on these bad boys along with their center gauge pod. F those retards trying to get 450 dollars for the flyrx7 center pods.

They look great and everyone I've spoken to has been happy with the product.

i too will be purchasing their center pod and Boost/Water Temp to replace the random ones currently in my car, the pillar pod its annoying i keep hitting it while steering.

Hey everyone we just became aware of this site and can help anyone out with questions/tech. advise. let us know if you need anything.

Is it true that you now have an affordable wideband gauge? I have an LC-1 and don't want to pay the $220 for the XD-16. I assume it accepts the 0-5v signal from one of the analog outputs.

I'm also curious about something.

Someone mentioned to me your EGT gauge's have a 0-5v output for datalogging. I wasn't aware that they have this feature (unless he's wrong) but could you enlighten us? Your site doesn't seem to indicate taht they do.

AFR gauge- Yes our stand alone digital AFR gauge for $65 does read 0-5 volt, so if you already have the LC1 it will read from the output signal and work. :)

EGT gauge: No, it cannot datalog. The premium series (peak/warn) can recall the highest level attained and fully programmable warning buit into the gauge but no datalogging.

Is this the only wideband gauge you currently offer?

Are there any plans to have a WO2 gauge available in the other styles/series?

Yes, we will have a Wideband with a pointer in our Premium Series (peak/warning)to be released in about 60 days.

Please keep us posted on this.

(also, consider getting in touch with phil--herblenny or zgn if you'd like vendor status for free)

OK, left a message for herblenny-waiting for a reply... thanks

Just an FYI -we are running low on the triple center gauge pods-in case anyone was needing one soon.

better option . . .

I have the STRi X-Line water/oil temp, boost, fuel/oil pressure. Smoke lens amber lighting.
They work well.
But I wouldn't say they are better quality. For instance no connector between the gauge and the sensors: You have to twist and protect the wires. Also no ground: you have to ground them yourself with additional piece of wire. So not so clean in the engine bay.
But at the time I purchased 2 years ago they were the best for the price, no discussion.
That's for the cheap X-Line.

The DSD line is much more high range (equivalent to defi I've been told), but double price than prosport (at least here in Europe), but also twice less than defi!

I don't know about better.. By looks of it, it could be the re-badged version of Prosport...

I recently got a premium version Prosport gauge and I'm very happy with it. Fitment was really nice on the steering column pod because of its low mounting depth... and I like the dual illumination.. At night it matches the interior lights and during the day it lights up white.

Watch the video that I took.

Wow, that is a really nice feature..I plan on running all prosport gauges once the car is back together this month. Need to fill my quad fly pod :).

Thanks for the video Phil...

Any updates? I'm not worried about buying Prosport gauges because I know they have very good customer support, but how have the gauges been holding up?

I haven't installed my boost gauge yet, and I just ordered two EGT's with the Peak/Warn

The two I've been running since last year are great. I installed another 4 (2 EGT's, fuel pressure and boost) just recently and they're fine so far.

Right now we have a 10% off sale going on for all RC club members !!

Whoa, that was a really quick response, lol. I'll place an order before then =]

I just installed my prosport boost gauge, but i had some issues with the clips from the sender to the gauge. It was loose in the back of the gauge and won't lock in tight. I got it working, but it was a less-than-elegant solution. I just didn't want to ship it back and hten have to wait for a new one.

OK, so this is a Premium series boost gauge? because the opening is small on the back of the gauge it may need a small screwdriver to push the clip all the way on till it locks in place. Can you send us a picture directly to our email sales@prosportgauges.com

I just replaced all my gauges with Premium Prosport gauges. I have to say, install was VERY simple if you are doing multiple Prosport Premium. I'll post pics later when I get my car back from the custom shop.

Oh, and the customer service is TOP NOTCH with Prosport gauges!

Thank you very much :)
