Yeah, I bought mechanical boost, oil pressure, and EGT, and they look pretty cool. Once I do my swap, I'm putting them in.
I'm going to get oil temp, wideband, and fuel pressure as well.

I've got an EGT, Boost, and oil pressure gauges, and I love them.
The only problem I have with them is that they are a bit loud when the needles move, and the opening/closing ceremony is a little bit off on my boost gauge.
Otherwise, a good bang for the buck.

lucky u! i ordered a couple things on 12/10 and finally half arrived on 12/17 and the other half on 12/21 and i live in FL! but the holidays prolly played a big roll in that. great gauges tho!

Looking at the power wires from my electrical boost gauge, it doesn't seem nearly long enough, it's only like 14" long. It might reach to the fuses since I'm going Subiegal pod location but I don't see how clock and bezel pods can be hooked up without extra wire.

Yes it will make things much easier.
And if you cut the cord in half (or thereabouts) and add extra wire, you still have the correct colors at the business end so no fussing with what wire you made what color.

my brand new boost gauge is not reading where it should be.. i have checked and checked and checked again to make sure all my hose connections are tight and they are.. car runs just like it did before i installed the gauge, vacuum is where it is supposed to be at idle, gauge goes back to zero when shut off... im at a loss here.. i was so excited to finally have a gauge and now it isnt reading where it should.. PROSPORT any help with this?

are you saying that the boost gauge reads zero when you turn off your car? :confused:
because if so, that's what's supposed to happen

thats exactly why i said that because that is what is supposed to happen so that part of the whole process is working... so why wouldnt the rest of the process working??....if the gauge wasnt reading zero when shut off then that would make more sense of why its not reading the correct boost..

Do you have an AP or laptop to read what the ECU is seeing as boost? Maybe it's actually not the gauge but a bigger problem?
Since you checked the hose connections, did you check the electrical connection at the sender? Mine was much happier with some dielectric grease on the plug going into the sender.

| FFblevins85 | 12-29-2009 10:15 AM |
yeah i checked it with the computer and its reading 18.5 psi and the gauge will not go past 12.5 psi.. yep checked the plug looks good and tight, but ill try greasing the plug and see what happens.. i swear before i installed it i turned the gauge over and heard something loose inside the gauge itself... you shouldnt hear anything moving inside the gauge right? never messed with these before but i wouldnt think there should be any loose stuff floating around inside.
| pearljam11 | 12-30-2009 03:55 PM |
I finished installing my prosport gauge last night with no problems! The gauge looks beautiful and there are no issues with the needle resting below zero. The peak/warning feature works great I set mine around 18.5 psi and my gauge hit about 18 psi which is pretty much perfect peak boost for the Stg 2 STi. The gauge turned a darker shade of red as it peaked which I'm assuming means you are getting close to your peak setting.
I'd recommend these gauges to anyone! It was my first wiring mod and if I can do it anyone can.

Purchased and installed my boost and oil pressure gauges about a week ago. I've noticed that the boost gauge moves a lot slower than the oil pressure, from start up sequence to changes in boost. I hooked up my AP to compare and it's definitely slow. Any ideas?

how accurate is the prosport wide band gague? and how do you calibrate it? the instructions did not really tell you how to go about it?...CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN FOUND AND DONE!!
also i placed the sensor about 5-6 inches from the turbo. i know that some people say it is to close that it will burn it up. other than that will the sensor still read properly being that close?

the prosport boost gauge sensor is calibrated to relative atmospheric presure, which happens to be sea level, if you go up to say 5000 feet your gauge will read low, at my elavation it happens to read about 3psi low (5300 feet), i called prosport about it and the pressure sensor used to be able to be re-zeroed but not anymore, if you take the back cover off you can see where the potentiometer used to be.

I wired both gauges into the fuse terminal, tapping key on power for the main power, headlight circuit for the headlight on power, and grounded to the chassis. Oil pressure start up sweep is fast and responds to changes immediately, the boost start up sweep is much slower in comparison.
Can you explain the daisy chain more?

daisy chainig only applies to premium gauges so if you just have the performance gauges (the ones missing the peak/hold function) then this does not apply to you.
howeber, what it is is you only tap into the wires on the cars harness for one gauge and then you can daisy chain the rest.
for example you have a boost gauge that is tapped into the wires on the cars harness and you decide to add an oil temp and an oil pressure gauge, so you plug the oil temp into the back of the boost gauge and then plug the oil pressure gauge into the back of the oil temp gauge.
a way to tell (other than if you remember paying for them) if you have the premium (i.e. daisy chain-able) gauges is too look at the back of the gauge, if there is only one female plug then you have the perfomance gauges, if there are 3 female plugs then you have the premium series gauges that you may daisy chain together. you should have a large, a medium, and a small female plug in the back (i dont remember how many prongs are on each off of the top of my head i just know that they are 3 different sizes) and for daisy chaining IIRC you only use the larger two of the three, because the smallest one is for an external warning light.

Anyone have any experience with the 45mm ones? I was really thinking about one to replace my stock boost gauge, since it can't read 21+ psi, which I am running. I really don't need the warning, and I'd like to be able to reuse the stock mounting cup. Or should I just pony up the extra like 4 bucks and get the premium and just swap out the mounting cups? Also, I know the 45mm Omoris would fit into the 42mm stock cup, but have you guys tried fitting these in?
| spoolinred | 01-03-2010 10:25 PM |
don't know whats up with the wideband. has anyone had this problem. at idle and quarter throttle the sensor reads normal. soon as you press the gas down the gague hits 10 and starts blinking and doesn't move all the way to redline. also when coasting down a hill not pressing the gas it goes up to 20 and doesn't move until the gas is tapped......weird...yes it was calibrated free air.
my car was tuned by txs and the afr was 11.1 steady when it was tuned, so i know it isn't running that rich.

normal when you give it gas on boost to go up to 10 afr's a little rich but safe !
you set warning alarm too low set it much higher !
The bosch oxygen sensor 17025 that comes with the prosport premium AFR kit reads wider then other standard wide band oxygen sensor.
Also normal too see afr's go up to 20afr's when you let off the gas pedal !
throttle is closed so the jump is from air and no fuel in the system (NORMAL)
I have the prosport premium afr unit for almost a year with zero problems and very accurate .
if in doubt have your tuner check it out for you .

Just installed an oil temp gauge and it doeesn't seem to be working... My wiring is good as all my other gauges work. (Oil pressure, EGT, AFR).
The gauge turns on but the needle is pegged at 300+ degrees as if the sensor isn't connected. (which it is).
With the car on and warm I get ~3.9v from the sender leads and I get ~3.9v at the gauge, but the gauge still reads 300+ degrees. When I unplug the gauge I don't get any voltage from the sender.
I have the gauge at the sandwich adapter and am using teflon tape to seal it. I figured the sender has it's own ground coming off and so it doesn't need to be grounded via the threads.
With my above symptoms, do I have a bad gauge, Sender, or ground issue? I should receive my water temp gauge in the mail today(I hope) and will test that gauge as well...

Okay, with the gauge NOT connected, I get 1.275 ohms (2K) of resistance with the car both off and in the 'on' position.
When I connect the gauge with the car off, I get 0.210 ohms of resistance and when I turn the car to the "on" position I get a constant reading of 1. (ie the reading I get when the connectors are free floating.) With the car in the on position, it acts as if I am testing two unrelated wires.

i have checked it against a computer hooked via tactrix cable, right before i hooked the gauge up i swear i felt something rattling/loose and moving around inside the gauge...
any ideas?
thanks in advance

my prosport prem. boost gauge is acting crazy...
its always read extremely accurate and i havent had any complaints (except the HORRIBLE t-fitting it came with)...but lately, its going crazy. the needle jumps around all over the place and its just totally useless half the time. i checked the grounds and everything seemed all good.
heres a vid. you can see that half the time its not crazy and its reading fine. the cars idling and i didnt touch the throttle at all in the vid. you can see the afr's and idle speed are pretty solid but the needle goes nuts. at one point it says i make around 5psi :lol:

My OIL TEMPERATURE gauge started acting up.
Once the car is warmed up the gauge starts bouncing furiously +/- 30-40*. It will climb in temperature over time and then eventually stay maxed out with small flickers.
Is the gauge toast or the thermocouple? Everything was soldered appropriately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

like I always say you get what you pay for --I believe that when dealing with gauges to monitor performance parameters there is now room for skimping -that leads to blown motors.. DEFI all the way.

Such a long thread about questions of "why these sensors are off."
I understand there is user error, but didn't know it would be everytime someone buys something.
Yes, you have a 1% return rate, and bang for buck, that's why I bought your gauges.
I just do hope this won't be as hard as everyone makes it out to be here.

[quote=IIdiceII;29332224]my prosport prem. boost gauge is acting crazy...
its always read extremely accurate and i havent had any complaints (except the HORRIBLE t-fitting it came with)...but lately, its going crazy. the needle jumps around all over the place and its just totally useless half the time. i checked the grounds and everything seemed all good.
heres a vid. you can see that half the time its not crazy and its reading fine. the cars idling and i didnt touch the throttle at all in the vid. you can see the afr's and idle speed are pretty solid but the needle goes nuts. at one point it says i make around 5psi :lol:

Ryan - I've recently purchased the Digital Air/Fuel gauge and have it wired up to my Innovate LC-1 controller... Can you tell me what the gauge displays versus the voltage it is receiving? (ie 0.05v = 10.1 AFR and 5.0v=20.0 AFR)
I ask this because at WOT the gauge reads ~11.2 AFR and my Laptop data logging shows it to be ~9.5 AFR.
Since the controller comes defaulted to use an Innovate gauge with readings shown here:

I need to calibrate the controller to match your gauge. Thanks!

Bump for possible answer.
If they do, I will definitely be purchasing a blue boost gauge :D

What are the settings in the LC-1 right now. I only ask because your laptop showing 9.5 is extremely rich.

Stock Scaling as it shows in the linky. I never needed to adjust it as I assume it was calibrated for romraider correctly.

try this scale
0v=7.35
5v=22.39
Let me know

Prosport,
Do you know if any of your boost gauges will fit in the stock suby mounting cup?

hmmm im not sure. idk the stock size :(
| LuckyStar | 01-12-2010 03:11 PM |
The stock size is 42mm, and the 45mm Omni gauge can fit.. it is just very tight.. so I don't see why the 45mm Prosport would not fit..
And if you made the 45mm boost gauge in a metric setup that would be tits, as many subie owners like keeping the metric reading... at least I do

Ryan at Prosport has been a real big help. I shipped my water temp gauge to him to get it checked out and they said it was working fine and shipped it back to me real fast.
The only problem im still having is that my water temp gauge still isnt in sync with my boost and water temp during opening and closing ceremony. it's something i can live with, as long as they work fine during operation. thanks again

[quote=JGreene;29352539]My OIL TEMPERATURE gauge started acting up.
Once the car is warmed up the gauge starts bouncing furiously +/- 30-40*. It will climb in temperature over time and then eventually stay maxed out with small flickers.
Is the gauge toast or the thermocouple? Everything was soldered appropriately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.[/quote]
