Gauges/monitoring for the hatch

Been looking at how to check oil press/temp, boost, air intake temp etc.
Blitz do the R-VIT
http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/ProductItem-2432.aspx

HKS do the Camp 2
http://www.hksusa.com/info/?id=3474

Both end up at £700+
Geared for JDM so I (and they !!) are not sure if they work on Euro STi DVD, without losing the touch scren facility to change between monitoring/sat-nav etc

Anyone found anything else ?

Stan, IIRC a while ago you were looking at gauge placement options, found this today on the Perrin site, not that keen myself but thought it was worth a mention.

Cheers Abz, hadn't seen that one.
Just checking all possibilities ! Think HKS prob best I've seen so far.

Agree, been following a few threads over in the USA for a year or more now and don't really like any of the solutions, a single defi guage looks ok on the dash to the right of the instrument cluster, but if you want/fit anymore it all starts to look a bit 'halfords' if you know what I mean...would like to have oil temp, oil pressure and boost, but cannot justify the cost of the HKS system

think ive put this up b4 this is where revolution put gauges

Cheers Sparkey,
Checked it out before but prefer the screen option if it will work. Used gauges in my 98 (some twin digital and a couple of analogue)and it cost almost as much as the HKS or Blitz system.
Need to find out if the dvd screen has a spare AV input, and if you can switch between av input back to sat-nav.

found pic of gauges piller mounted on NASIO site last pic

progress so far on HKS.
Seems there is an AV input behind screen for reversing camera option - but checking this out. If so HKS Camp2 could plug in there.

go to the iwsti.com site

loads installs with info on them

cheers RB5
Done that and searched. Seems they fit OK on US GRs.
May have to bite the bullet.

a piller mounted gauges look good

Not keen on the A pillar mounts to be honest. In the worse case senario (a crash) don't forget, theres an airbag under them and they will be exploded out of the housing and become fairly heavy bits of shrapnel.

would like a couple of gauges in mine,
The A pillar ones look so tacky imo, I would never go down that route,
The only one that has caught my eye so far is the roof mounted (above the mirror) that I have seen on the US forums other than that all the other options look like after thoughts of the worse kind.

i would get a custom one made and fabricated by one of my mates that works in ford prototype division


I have looked at the shroud around the dials instrument panel, it looks like this whole piece can be removed separate from the dash.

I would have 2/3 pod holders integrated into the newly fabricated one




but i have the iphone/kiwi setup which involves no wires or sensors

Sorry - but to me that just looks a mess, and seems to obscure the centre display (with clock/mpg etc.
I liked the old classic pod idea that fitted in the centre top dash cubby hole. At least that looked more integrated/original equipment. So if the gauges were in a pod it may look better but would it obscure a bit of forward vision ?
Looks like the HKS Camp set up would cost £700 for the sensors/unit etc + fitting (3 hours) so the gauge pods may be cheaper !

Anyone interested in this pod for the 2008?

these gauges do look slick.

all the hatch needs is a good place to put them.......

cant decide if i like that or not..

carlos..

I know what you mean... I was thinking of getting one and maybe spraying it the OEM silver (to match the dash). That may improve it's appeal.

not a bad idea, could do with getting someone to do a quick photoshop...

It's actually better in the flesh than on Cory's website.

Pleased with the DEFI racers also...(better than the motor meter one's I tried initially!)
