Defi, just look at Broadfields work if you need a reason.

North 01-25-2012 03:21 PM

That's just Broadfield... I don't doubt he could make Autozone gauges look fresh.

DenkiMan! 01-26-2012 11:26 AM

defi is the best gauge to buy for form and function. but the blitz dlm gauges are some of the sexiest alive i think

WhipsGoneWild.net 01-26-2012 03:17 PM

thanks for input guys going with defi but first thing first gota replace my wideband picking up aem tomorrow! I appreciate all of the input and a lot more feedback/ voting than i expected its very clear!

Broadfield 01-26-2012 05:25 PM

Here are some of the clusters and center vent setups I have done to give you an idea of what some various gauges look like installed. Where are your gauges going by-the-way? Sorry if there are a couple non-gauge pics in there, I simply copy and pasted from another thread.

i like some of those setups (had to look on iphone damn work security!) i want to rip out stock gauges and do like in those pictures but my mph already wrong since i go tthe rb in there.. i have total 7 gauges tach/ shift light on steering column cover and i got 3 in center vent and 3 and my turbo timer on a custom plate. since its a race car lol no need for a radio lol i took that out and i have a carbon fiber table ( i work at a hospital and purchased a $20,000 cat scan table [all medical parts are carbon fiber due to x ray and diagnostic purposes] well it got damaged suring shipping and threw it out but i took it home and cut panels out lmao i made a nice center piece between my valve covers too) but any way i cut out 3 52mm holes for my gauges 3 lined across and bottom center is my turbo timer i plan on putting my switches in there too i cant post pics cuz im at work and security blows

Racepak IQ3. Uses all oem sensors if you're running a haltech.

I got apexi power fc but I WANT RACEPACK! that would be ideal but idk how to install

WhipsGoneWild.net 01-26-2012 09:35 PM

If you kno anything about these pleaseet me know I'm buying my wideband tmr but that's great if I could get everything I want on there I'd like to see one In person and get familiar with one before I bought it I just need display not to log anything

...like I said, Broadfield and can ANYTHING look good (although everything posted was top quality to begin with) ;)

Prime 01-27-2012 12:26 PM

Seconding Speedhut, if for no other reason than aesthetics. Little else out there you can order fully customized without having some donk looking 90's indiglo going on. That, and I'm not a fan of the single screen racecar displays. I'm sure they're accurate and awesome and all, but I prefer a simple sweeping needle.

If you ask me, why have 4 gauges you have to simultaneous glance at (which isnt going to happen while road racing) or a single cluster with programmable warning lights? You see a flash, you have 1 place to look. Also has integrated shift lights, turn signals and aux ports for boost gauge and other such features. Oh did I mention data logging? If you can afford it, go with a single cluster (race tech, racepaq, aim mxl).

ive never done 1 but i do like that!

Has anyone had a problem with the Defi units that read in KPA? or is it just something i'll have to figure out and get used to?

Flicktitty 02-06-2012 05:54 PM

I've had glowshifts the last couple years. no real issues other then the sensors going bad on the trans temp once. other then that they have been good.

I have been looking strongly into the speedhut gauges, but i heard Defi has some new gauges coming out soon that look promising.

You mean you just don't know how to read in metric? How is that a problem with the gauge?

I haven't heard of any new Defi gauges. I would be surprised since their lineup now is pretty new... unless they have a totally different type of setup coming out. I look forward to some new ones if they are indeed releasing some. I guess it's too bad I won't have a need for any traditional gauges though.

I wouldn't mind someone doing the Cusco gauges. They are obviously made by Defi for Cusco. They have very limited selections, but they are Cusco.... BALLER! I'm still a Cusco dealer, so I thought about getting them in just to check them out then sell them. They would be perfect in a center vent setup since they only make three types.

voted other... zeitronix ftw... no flashy gauges if you're not into that.. all info on one LCD screen

you can monitor a/f, oil, EGT, etc... whatever you feel like monitoring pretty much. hooks up to laptop with ease and you can buy extra sensors to add to it.

A bit pricey though but a slick look. Cheaper than buying a bunch of gauges through defi.

I have that one I only monitor A/F and egt with it. It's a little small to glance at fast when your driving tho.
