FELLER: ProSport Premium 52mm Electric gauges

I am contemplating selling my set of three (3) ProSport Premium Peak/Warning Series electric full-sweep 52mm gauges. I have 1 oil pressure, 1 oil temperature, and 1 water temperature gauge complete with sending units and all wiring harnesses for a complete install.

These gauges are in standard (Imperial) measurements, feature full-sweep Swiss stepper motor movement, and have peak and warning features. You can view your highest recorded temperature with the push of a button, and set your preset warning so the gauge will buzz (very loud) and flash red. These also feature a very low profile (only 1.25" deep from behind the bezel) so they can mount in tight locations.

I am only really selling these to change up my interior and try to keep all gauges the same. I have the AEM UEGO Wideband AFR gauge so I want to streamline everything. Honestly, if ProSport had their wideband AFR 52mm out right now I would have that instead.

I currently only have the water temperature and oil temperature gauges in my car, the oil pressure gauge is sitting on my bench. It is only out so I could put the AEM UEGO AFR gauge in, there is nothing wrong with the oil pressure gauge. It was installed and ran perfectly.

Here are some pictures of the gauges mounted in the Racing Beat ashtray gauge pod- please note the RB pod is NOT included in the sale, or is the AEM UEGO (just to make sure there is no confusion). You will need to provide your own mounting solution.

Pictures:

Oil pressure (out of the car currently)





Water temperature:



Water temperature on daytime:



Water temperature displaying it's peak recorded:



Water temperature on nighttime:



Oil temperature:



Oil temperature daytime:



Both off:



Both nighttime:



You can see the red lighting matches the interior accent lighting perfectly.



All gauges are 100% functional and in proper working order. To be completely honest, when I first installed the gauges and compared my water temps as monitored by the OBD-II port via my sCANalyser and against the ProSport water temp gauge, it was reading low. I called ProSport customer service and they gave me advise on what to do. I added another ground to the water temp sensor and now the gauge reads accurate.

The only bad part is the oil temperature gauges button (to read peaks and set the warning) has it's little button broken off, but it is still 100% usable. You never really use the button unless you are checking your peak or resetting the warning, and even then it's still easy to push.

The gauges have been installed since May or so, first in the LoTek pod, then they moved to the RB pod when I installed a CarPC and the screen took the place of the LoTek pod. They look great still, but do have some extremely minor scratches. They also are currently installed in the car, so once Payment is received I will promptly uninstall them and ship them.

As of now I can't find the instruction sheet (it was literally 1 paragraph and a wiring diagram), if I do find it, it will ship with the gauges. If not I can write out the wiring diagram (simple 4-wire hook-up) and some instructions, it's not a big deal. Power for the gauges is daisy-chained from gauge to gauge, so you only have to hook-up power once. And there is no controller so you don't need to worry about stashing a control module and wiring that as well.

Here is the info for these gauges from ProSport: http://prosportgauges.com/premium_se...ng_gauges.aspx

I am thinking $200 OBO shipped for all 3 including the gauges, sending units, and wiring harnesses. Let me know if you're interested.



Thanks!

Man I just ordered mine last week and received them today. They do look hot, I could of saved a few hundred bucks. I'm always to late Anyway would you mind advising me on to install these? I have read the thread on the lotek and prosport gauges but am still a little confused. Can you let me know how you did it. Thanks

Holy flooded inbox, batman! I will try to respond to mass of PM's I have in the order they were received.

Just to clear a few things up;

Here is a list of EVERYTHING included:

-1 ProSport 52mm Premium Peak/Warning Series Oil Pressure gauge
-1 ProSport 52mm Premium Peak/Warning Series Oil Temperature gauge
-1 ProSport 52mm Premium Peak/Warning Series Water Temperature gauge
-1 Water temperature sensor with harness
-1 Oil Temperature sensor with harness
-1 Oil pressure sensor with harness
-1 Main Power harness for gauges
-2 Daisy chain power harnesses

What is NOT included:

-A way to install the sensor the gauges read. You will need an oil filter sandwich adapter plate (installs in-between the oil filter pedestal and the oil filter itself). ProSport sells on for a reasonable price as well as Racing Beat. You will also need a water temperature sensor adapter, so you can install the water temp sensor. ProSport has one that installs directly into one of the radiator hoses, and Racing Beat's adapter installs in the 5/8" heater hose near the UIM and top low-pressure A/C hard line on the passenger side under the hood.

-A way to mount the gauges. No gauge cups or any pods are included, and neither are any brackets (for securing behind the gauges). I recommend the LoTek pod or the Racing Beat ashtray pod- both are great but the LoTek makes the gauges more visible. Or you can custom-mount them with gauge cups, they are only around $6 bucks a piece from ProSport.

-As of now, there are no factory ProSport instructions (which trust me, are extremely vague and generic). I will make my own wiring diagram that will be included, and even give you the RX-8 specific wires to tap into, so it makes install a piece of cake.


When I bought these new I paid over $360 so this is still quite a deal.

Yes, due to overwhelming interest and my particular fondness of these gauges. I'm still not 100% on selling them.
