anyone who know where to order a good 3 guage a pillar?
nismo_832 11-02-2009 06:28 PM

maybe im just retarded but....
hey prosport I got a problem, I ordered the boost, oil pressure, and oil temp gauges with the sandwich adapter and today when I was mocking everything up for fittment and function I came accross a diturbing situation...

all four bolts threaded into the sandwich adapter where sensor probes are supposed to go are either cross treaded or fused in there somehow. and now i cannot for the life of me get them out!! has anyone else had this problem? what should i do?
Prosport Gauges 11-03-2009 09:58 AM

No, I have not seen that before. The bolts are not installed when purchased new and the customer installs them depending on how many ports you need to cap off.
So you installed all for bolts into the plate and crossed threaded/stripped all of them?

The bolts are softer aluminum than the plate so if you can get them out we do have replacement bolts if everything is ok once you get them out.
Email us direct regarding this so we can assist you.

does anyone have an issue with your gauge changing colors at night? it was wired up to be white during day and green at night, when i turn the lights on it will turn to green but it will magically change to white eventually. i've had it light whitish green during the day once lol

If you turn your car off with your headlight switch on still they wont go to green, until you turn your car off with the headlight switch off. Something to do with a little switch in the gauge or something, when i had mine put it the installer told me about this problem and not to worry about it lol.

No problem, If you have any other questions PM mattminer, he is the guy that installed mine :p.
mattminer 11-03-2009 11:16 AM

i think this could be resolved by wiring the gauges main power lead to a power lead that doesnt cut out during cranking the engine. but like eric said, I simply turn my lights on after I start the car.

having them light up whitish green doesnt sound normal though :P

where is the easiest place to tad into a headlight wire? and also if anyone has the diagram on which clock wires are what and which wires they line up that would be great.

connect the wires straight to the battery, i did that for mine since i got it used and i wanted to see if it was working
CaseD 11-14-2009 04:54 PM

I installed my wideband today however I cannot figure out why the white LEDs that say "wideband air/ fuel" and the "prosport" logo wont light up do I have my orange wire crossed with something wrong?

p.s. everything is wired into the clock
nismo_832 11-14-2009 06:49 PM

All of the LEDs should light up together if IIRC.
Prosport Gauges 11-16-2009 09:35 AM

[quote=nismo_832;28835200]All of the LEDs should light up together if IIRC.[/quote]

Sorry that is incorrect. Due to fitment issues and cost, we could not fit LED's behind each word.

Optimal lights up slightly brighter because of the LED that lights up the prosport logo.

sorry for the inconvience.

zzz123 11-16-2009 04:03 PM

so I was about to order these gauges until I came upon this thread...what's the deal?

How many people are having trouble? How many people have had no issues whatsoever over a year+?

I thought these would be a good cheap way to buy oil gauges but if they are inaccurate or require me to replace the sender every two months (even free of charge), I'd rather not buy them.

Can anyone chime in?
elwray 11-16-2009 04:07 PM

I've had my Premium Electric Boost Gauge for almost a year or so now. I've had no problems at all, except for one caused by myself. I mounted the sender in such a way that it was getting moisture build up in the electrical connect. Cleaned it off, added dielectric grease, and haven't looked back since.

I'm very happy with my Prosport gauge. It matches nicely, moves smoothly, and their customer support is very good.
mQumQu 11-16-2009 04:15 PM

Sorry to say, my boost gauge has gone crazy, up and down and wont level itself up.
I tried unplugging it, doesnt help. This has been installed no more then 1 year.


By the way the first day of me getting it and installed, it needle dont stay at 0.

JUst a reminider...
Prosport Gauges 11-16-2009 04:44 PM

Hi this is Ryan from Prosport.

If you have any question regarding our product please feel free to PM me directly.
zzz123 11-16-2009 06:20 PM

^can you explain why your gauges and sensors have such a high failure rate?
Smoke 11-16-2009 07:08 PM

[quote=zzz123;28853726]^can you explain why your gauges and sensors have such a high failure rate?[/quote]

I do hope this is just a bad batch you have, because I just bought 3 gauges and plan on buying 2 more to complete my set.
zzz123 11-16-2009 07:25 PM

I haven't bought them yet, I'm just reading a lot of bad stories from out-of-the-box issues such as offset needles, inaccurate readings, to other things that take a while to happen, like needles being pegged for no reason and then working again later. Sensors dying prematurely. etc. etc.

I know they are cheap, but still, what's the point in installing something that doesn't tell you anything accurately that you can depend on? Might as well install a divining rod in the car along with a wigy board.
Xcelr8to1320 11-16-2009 07:48 PM

I can say that I was part of that failboat. :(
tekfoc 11-16-2009 08:16 PM

5 prosport premium gauges installed zero problems very accurate

premium boost gauge almost a year zero problems.

yea there probably some sensors or sending units that were probably defective but I strongly feel that 95% of the problems are caused by install era's that easily damage the sensor or sender unit .
(AKA-if you dont know what the **** your doing then pay someone who does ! for god sake ! )
Prosport Gauges 11-16-2009 09:16 PM

[quote=zzz123;28853726]^can you explain why your gauges and sensors have such a high failure rate?[/quote]

Actually we have one of the lowest failure rate in the industry. Less than 1%- industry average is 2~3%

Most problems are install errors, not following directions, burnt wires, bad connections, etc..
I personally think that since we are on the board and so accessable people are quick to ask for help. Keep in mind that in over 75% of the topics that start out with "My prosport gauges don't work" -that is all you read and then when the problem turns out to be the customers fault- the headline still stands-never to be corrected. See my point.

that is just one example and I think if other manufactures were on the board all you would see is questions/problems.. but they are not.

There is not one person who can say we did not take care of any true problem that has happened.

We are here on the board to assist everyone who needs help with installs, troubleshooting, get feedback, etc..
zzz123 11-16-2009 09:49 PM

Okay, then I have a question. I apologize if I sounded harsh/aggressive towards you. Nothing personal, just really concerned as a potential customer.

Do any of your customers have issues with the oil pressure sensor directly attached to the sandwich plate? Any leaks/cracks/other issues? Would you be able to supply me a 1/8" NPT stainless steel braided line so I can remotely mount my sensors to the sandwich plate?

Also, what are all the differences between your premium and performance gauges? I am particularly interested in the oil temperature and pressure gauges. I understand the premium one goes up to 150psi instead of the regular 110psi. I notice the sensors are different, why is that so?
Xcelr8to1320 11-16-2009 09:54 PM

You want your oil pressure sensor at the galley location near the turbo inlet. It will give better/ more accurate readings.
Ultimate Collision Center 11-16-2009 09:54 PM

We have sold and installed thousands of these gauges and I can count on one hand the amount of issues we have had. On our personal cars we have been running them for quite some time and haven't had a single issue with them. God forbid you do and Glenn takes care of it right away.

Dan
Xcelr8to1320 11-16-2009 09:56 PM

the only gauge I had any problems with was the oil pressure gauge. Install was done properly and to the 'T.' The Pressure would fluctuate when driving on the highway between 1-10psi, which is not happening while the car is holding at a steady RPM range. Other than that I didn't have any real problems.

so it read 1-10psi????isnt that horribly off? How did you fix the problem?

i also dont have a galley plug :D
Xcelr8to1320 11-16-2009 10:29 PM

yea, that's horribly off and rendered the gauge pretty much useless at constant RPM's. I didn't do anything, I just removed the gauges because I was sick of it.

As for the galley plug, I'd recommend getting the adapter plug to put it there.
zzz123 11-16-2009 10:50 PM

That's unsettling that a gauge would do that.

Let's see if ProSport will chime in on this one.

Sandwich plate: We sell thousands of these, as it makes installation very easy and quick. We recommend using some teflon tape on the threads of the bolts on the ports not in use and the threads on the senders. They are NPT so they seal very well.

We do make a remote OP sender kit that includes the galley plug:
[IMG]http://prosportgauges.com/images/products/display/CIMG1942.JPG[/IMG] ~Any of the vendors will have that part~
If you wanted to you can use this on the oil plate-although I have not seen that done.

Premium vs. Performance series:
Premium Series gauges use's a stepper motor movement.-Most accurate in the industy. they are thinner bacuse of this and require a 0-5v OP sender that is smaller and more accurate than the larger Performance series OP sender.
Premium series wiring is all plug and play and can be daisy chained for each addtional gauge (wiring included). They come with their own mounting cups also. They are fully programmable warning feature built right into the gauge (no controller needed). The gauge will beep/flash when you hit the programmed limit or you can turn off the beep. They also perform a closing ceremony. They have peak recall- push the button one time and the gauge will show you the highest level attained on the gauge. All programming is done using the button on the front of the gauge.

Everything prosport makes comes with a 1 year warranty.
We are constantly coming out with new items, upgrading & moving up. If you were lucky enough to see us at this years SEMA show you saw our New speedometers, clocks, carbon fiber products & 95mm tachometers. We had a newly designed and bigger booth this year-So as we continue to grow and expand it is no surprise that Greddy, Apexi & Defi did not even show as they continue to shrink.
As the year comes to a close we are on track for double digit increases over last year. Very impressive in this economy...
zzz123 11-17-2009 05:18 PM

That's all fine and dandy. But, can you explain why Xcelr8to1320's gauge was acting this way all of a sudden? Suppose he did call and complain, what would you tell him and how would you explain this problem?

Each case is different, if he called/emailed we would work with him to diagnose the problem. If that cannot be done by phone/email we would have him send in the gauge and/or sender to fix/repair. It is that simple.
paintbing 11-17-2009 07:07 PM

^ Been there and done that. Work with Glenn and the fella's and they will take care of you.

I had an EGT temp sender go bad on me. It worked for like a week and went haywire and then fixed itself for 6 months and then went bad again. I sent it in and they sent me the new one and it's worked like a champ ever since! (New slimmer design too!)

It was out of warranty period so I didn't really find it worth it to call when I'd most likely jus thave to buy a new sending unit and/or gauge.
mQumQu 11-20-2009 08:15 PM

I actually should say all 3 gauges I have is not working properly

a) Boost - IT is going crazy ( the needle ) moving up and down constant nothing can stop it, once a while it will act normal buy 80% of the time its going crazy. Also it never lvl at 0, it is always below 0 when the car is off.

b) Exhaust temp seems to be the best gauge however, the lighting is totally different then others, its lighter in red and at day time it is lighter purple / whitish

c) oil pressure, it always read i have 2psi of oil left.

Only thing I don't like about this gauge is that's it's way too bright at night.
I had to open up the gauge and insert film filter silk (heat resistance) in there to make it slightly dimmer to match stock gauge.

[quote=evoeater8;28926910]my boost gauge rattle like crazy now the button is super loose now :([/quote]

You must have turned the bezel while removing/installing the gauge. This is a simple fix of holding the body of the gauge and gently twisting the bezel until the button just touches the lens-this removes the slack and the button cannot make noise any more.
mQumQu 11-23-2009 08:42 PM

Last year.

but it were giving me problem since day 1 i have them.

Just wanted to update that my boost, oil pressure, and egt premium series gauges are still working like a charm. Only complaint is that one of the buttons were rattling for a while, but now it stopped... and I didn't even really care in the first place anyway since my car is loud as hell.
speedymaker 12-02-2009 12:12 PM

i love the 52mm amber/white boost gauge....lookin to order oil pressure and EGT next...maybe a wideband also

Smoke 12-18-2009 09:41 PM

Is the only difference between the performance and premium gauges is the warning light?

I got the blue/white ones and hope they are pretty accurate.
nismo_832 12-18-2009 11:05 PM

no they also have a peak/hold function so that you can know what each gauge peaked at after the fact

Thank you.

Does anyone know quality and durability of the regular performance ones compared to the premium, or is the peak function the only diff?
nismo_832 12-22-2009 07:25 PM

well also the premium gauges come with different sensors IIRC

but i have the performance electronic boost, oil temp, and oil pressure with their sandwich adapter and i absolutley love them! quality is great! and i have had them installed for about 3 months now with no issues whatsoever!

buy them, you will not be dissapointed!
