Prosport Gauges

[FoxXxSVO]

Affordable, beautiful, and they match the factory gauge lighting for the SVO...as soon as i get some money i'll be ordering some for another one of my cars, i have seen these gauges in person, and will NEVER buy any other brand. The gauges black out with the ignition off, have a white backlight when on, and when you turn you headlights on, the white turns red/amber. if anyone is looking to get any gauges from them, let me know, i can get you 10% off of their already low prices

But I must question their claims of using a K-type thermocouple to 2500 degrees F.

The sweep on the 270* gauge is what goes up to 2500*. That puts the 1600* mark in the straight up position. I think those look very tempting.

[Pat_in_L.A.]

But how does one get it to actually point on the scale between say 2000 and 2500 degrees? Cause that certainly won't happen with a K-type input while a B-type thermocouple won't match that scaling (voltage vs. temperature).

Why would anybody want to find out? I realize the limits of a type K thermocouple, but other problems would cause us to call for a tow truck well before the ultimate sweep of the gauge is reached. Besides, the ricers eat that stuff up.

I'd liken it with your obsession to use the full sweep of your tachometer. If it is numbered to 8k, that doesn't mean you need to take it that far. BTW Mike, that red "ALT" light that lights up at 7500 on the dash is NOT a shift indicator. It is a reminder to have your machinist make a larger diameter deep groove alternator pulley (Hint, Hint to Henson and Roberto 2000! Think PAID MEMBER DEALS here).

Of course there's another fix that FORD came up with that may just work. Just have a gauge overlay made that has "C" on the left and "H" on the right. Anything in between is just fine!

[Pat_in_L.A.]

Are you sure about that?

I knew that was coming. Once you've achieved that 8k goal, rather than buying a new tach, just remove it and set the adjuster screw on the back to the "8" cylinder setting. That will bump the next goal through your retirement years.

I've considered making larger diameter pulleys too - and perhaps a slightly smaller crank pulley too but I'm getting real tired of having to make/fabricate all the parts for this car.

Look at the old HiPo 289 alternator pulleys. They should bolt right on.

BTW, I just picked up a couple 250 amp MEGA fuses for you and Henson. I'll bring one to Knott's. If those blow, the next size up is a hunk of REBAR.

please keep on the subject guys...thanks

Got them in the 2A, A/F-Volt , Boost, Oil Pressure ans water Temp in th eblue.. They look awesome at night...

[madadder]

Cant beat them for the price. Im thinking boost and fuel in blue for the Volvo. SVO already has guages.

[svopony]

I got the air/fuel ratio gauge.
that one has the sweeping bar graph on the out side with a digital A/F reading in the center, it also does a voltage read out from time to time.

this gauge is awsome.

[BDBYS59]

Yeah, thats the one I got Barry,, I like it. I am getting the fuel pressure gauge next,, can't beat the price either...

[FoxXxSVO]

well, send me a PM before you do and i can get the 10% off code i have

[Ted B]

Very interesting. They look like Defi, but without the pricetag. If the quality is decent (?) considering the nominal pricetag, it looks like a nice option.

[Bruce]

Where do I get the adapter to fit the fuel rail for my FP gauge?

[RTStabler51]

I just bought some for my Liberty.....look very nice.

[drquest]

I'm considering picking up some of these... Specifically the fuel pressure and Boost gauges... What's recommended, the electrical or mechanical boost gauge?

Also FoxXxSVO, does the 10% still apply?

[svopony]

I would get the mech one as the electrical one lags to far behind and never will give a true reading of the boost at the moment

just my $.02 ...... I have an elec. one and will be swapping it out in the future
