Scooby Pete Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Pete.............wow love your set up,loving the gauge too B) not to mention your subaru :D If there was one thing i could change(many many things tbh ) would be the green dash to a red............in truth i cba But much prefer the red............... Thanks mate :) Depo gauges have multi light settings aswell, 8 diff colours, can change colour as you advance through the gauges range and they dim when you turn the lights on. Also a stepper system and they can be daisy chained if you go for multiple gauges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks stunning and oe fitted............well better tbh as it would not be as good if factory oe B) Love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 It's only a few wires just use your old ones ;) only the sender unit I think is different. But wasn't hard to fit them :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucky Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 my prosport premium guage,white in day then green when you put lights on,you can set max boost on it as when and if you hit max boost the gauge will flash red,easy to fit extra gauges as you just dasiy chain them together with the cable provided.I'm getting oil pre and oil temp to sit under the rev counter and petrol temp gauge.

Scooby Pete Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 So many guages to choose from. I've used Depo so would recommend those as a mid range brand. Don't cost the earth and do a wide range. This might solve all your problems. Depo Boost+ oil temp + oil pressure and volts. http://prolex-uk.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=469_530&products_id=1326 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in one set-up. Do you have a video or a link of that working. I want one gauge ideally but want oil pressure and boost so this is ideal for a pillar pod.

stants Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Have a look at the depo website, may be slightly cheaper and they ship directly, I have the slightly different LED type, boost oil temp it's easy to read. I think savage may have the 4 in one gauge give him a shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 How hard are all the sensors to fit for oil pressure/temp? From what I've heard the water needs a seperste sensor in top rad pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ven Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just a thought regarding water temp,bare in mind where its fitted,pre or post stat. If after you will get nothing till the stat opens(most gauges start at 40oC) then will rise quick to the 70s...........etc etc as now coolant passing an open stat. If plumbed into a pipe(maybe heater matrix) then you have engine coolant temp (pre stat),if stat fails you would be able to tell "possibly" in time with it going hot quick,may save a h/g ..............Just a thought from when i last fitted a water temp gauge(not to a subaru though). Other options would be tapping into stat housing before the stat and fitting the sensor. Most manufacturers gauges(the needle ) have a built in temp parameter(so the customer is not alarmed due to it rising/falling all the time),so it can show 1/2 way all the time ,yet it could be 70oC or 100oC for example...........only when its too late and rises,the damage can be done! Again just thoughts :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Oil pressure is normally taken from under the alternator, remove factory one, pop in a t-peice adaptor screw old one back in and connect new one up, Oil temp usually under the i/c you'll need a gallery plug and extension with sender adaptor, it's a pain to get to. I stuck my oil pressure one there as I had the cooler off anyway still have room in t piece to attach oil temp if needs be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I checked depo website they only show the boost/oil pressure gauge at minute. Does sound like a job for my mechanic though. Sounds like hassle for me. I'm fine with bolt on but anything more and I get worried I'll break something or misplace/damage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 It's a ball ache to get to, have pics somewhere look between the throttle body and i/c and you'll see an Allen headed recessed bung, that's what you need to get out to put this http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=68&products_id=1591&osCsid=b3nub090l732da8ucb8inabr51 in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I had enough hassle getting the I/c off for knock sensor. I won't be playing that game again [emoji1] [emoji53] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
