how long have you had them and which line of stri's do you have?

Prosports are trash.

Watch or Datalog your runs with a Consult or with an EMS. You'll see what I mean. Inconsistancy, +/- 15 degree difference and a 2 psi difference versus the MAP sensor in the EMS.

For a stock car that simply needs gauges to keep an eye out, i'd say why not. For a car makign any sort of big power, that needs to be reliable, i say look elsewhere.

Tried them just cause I got them free to test,

Not worth the hassle of installing them, OP sensor died in 2 weeks, egt sensor dies after a month.

Threw them out and put in defis and as always, flawless.
Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones......

Defi's FTW
I picked up the Blue ones in Oki
Sensors are nice and compact
Easiest wiring I ever had to do
pretty much perfect lenght wires with little extra

Perfect Visability even in direct sunlight
I'd buy nothin else.

I have the cheaper model water temp and oil press.

They are fine. Not great, but worth the like $30 a pop I paid for them.

I have the electric oil pressure and water temp 52mm blue gauges. I've had them over a year and they are still working strong.

I'm contemplating getting the boost gauge...just can't decide on mechanical or electric.

I hate mine

still haven't bothered putting them in after taking them out to paint the mounting panel.

Oil press is already going out.

Need to get some better joints over the winter.

I have searched everywhere. If you can link me to a tutorial on how to wire up these electrical gauges, I would appreciate it. So far, I hooked up my boost gauge, but when I splice my water temp/oil temp/oil press gauge to same source, all my gauges dim. Like it's not receiving enough voltage or something.

Where should I splice?

Here's an unbiased review (most reviews are from people who don't wanna feel bad about buying shit, so they say all the positives).

Here we go.

1. LED is weak, the stock gauge cluster is brighter than the gauges at night.
2. Cheap smoked lens reflects sunlight like a mirror and its absolutely impossible to read during the day. I emailed Phase2 regarding this issue and they say most of their customers have complained about the samething.
3. The sensors that come with them (specifically the oil pressure sender) does not fit on our cars, so you need to buy a sender from autometer (what I did) or some other bullshit.
4. Once the sensor was installed, the readings were totally inaccurate. The Megan oil pressure gauge read 40-80psi (Defi read 20-100psi depending on where my rpm was).
5. The gauge housings are plastic cheap shit that scratches so easily.
6. I would rather run no gauge than be fooled by Megan gauges.
7. The water temp gauge read about 20degrees off compared to Defi's.
8. Did I mention they were garbage?


Seriously guys, if you're cheap and you want gauges, go with Autometer or something that actually has a reputation. I'm not saying they're good, but they're infinetly better than Megans/Circuit Sports bullshit.
+1

I dont get why ppl buy "cheap" poorly made gauges when you could buy OEM quality gauges for about the same price or less. VDO has been making OEM instrument clusters for years! they also make gauges in a variety of sizes that are back lit (side lit gauges look like crap IMO). I got my 3 gauges for a little over $140 shipped with the senders from 42 draft design and they compliment the stock cluster .

anyone here able ot actually compare the STRi DSD (not Xline) gauges to say Defi or AEM?

im at the point that im going to buy gauges
wtr temp, oil temp, oil press, EGT, volt.

since i already have a UEGo i was thinkking fuck it go with AEM and have all digital, i could also pick up a matching true boost gauge/boost controller while im at it...

but iv'e been consider STRI's DSD's for a while now...

anyone have any updated reviews on the above mentioned gauges?
