Gauge Cluster

So I have plans to get the BH5 tuned, and for that I need (would like) a wide band. To also keep my mind at rest I thought I might aswell get an oil temp/pressure gauge as well. I bought a gauge cluster to sit on the dash to mount them in.

 

Its early days and I'm going to sit on it for a few weeks, but am interested to hear what you guys think of it....

 

Also keen to hear if anyone here has had there BE/BH (revD ) tuned. Touched base with SAS (I'm in chch) a while back but will follow up again soon to check they're able to and what it'll set me back

Pretty good place for gauges and looks good match to the car.

 

Oil temp is ok but only tells you if you're really over heating the oil which is unlikely unless you have some heavy and poor mods.

 

oil pressure is great shows you surge or pickup issues but only sometimes before it's too late. Saved me from an engine rebuild when a main seal started to go.

 

wideband is ok but if your can has been tuned it won't show you much unless you have a fuel or air leak. Innovate ones can feed any stock Ecu as well (which is the one I will likely get). The analogue output can be set to toggle voltage like the stock o2 sensor. By default it's wideband as well but you can edit it.

 

If you can get the gauges with warning lights, or set the gauges so when normal the needle is straight up. That way they are easy to glance at on the track. But some people don't like gauges that sit twisted around. 

Oh and get ones with a headlight input for dimming or ones that are red or night driving sucks.

 

other cool option that wont fit in the gauge pod is disc brake paint. Changes colour at set temps so tells you how hot the brakes are and if you need better brake fluid or cooling.

Trademe - its an Autogauge one.

 

 

I happened to stumble across these guys tonight - a whole suite of gauges with a digital display ~$250NZD incl shipping... kinda tempting...

Looks interesting but not cheap when you have to spend another USD$115 to get sensors and centeral hub and the warning light which is the most important.

digital gauges are good for co drivers or diagnostics but you can't glance at them on track.

The site defaults to AUD, the 250 includes the sensors, you can also set it up to show a mix of different sized readings

It's kind of cool but again setup of limits and warning light are the most important bits if you are going to use on track.

 

anything that lets you see what's going on daily and have something to compare to when you suspect faults is most likely worth that much if you install the sensors yourself.

Gauges are good I guess.. but if you are too busy hard out driving it you won't even get to look at them .. digital with peak hold,etc would be ok.

 

I've got Android car stereo with the 10.2" screen($450) and BTSSM running, so I get gauges and logging/alerts, just using the VAG cable too ($8)

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
