new gauges
 

I got some new gauges but im gonna wait till its a little warmer outside before i get them working. I got Autometer Ultralite mechanical trans, air/fuel ratio, and i ordered the digital pro shift system level one, and recieved a level 2 upgrade for free, compliments of autometer. i was pretty happy. the stage one just has the single shift light, and level 2 has multiple shift light color selection, progressive shift indicator, launch light, and 4 shift light settings. UPR sells a silver face gauge kit with oem illumination ill be ordering soon. it should match quite nicely...

i got the trans temp gauge because most of the times im at the track, im hotlapping and id like to watch the temps. and i got the shift light because im always lookin down instead of looking ahead at the track like I should be.

very nice, im plannin on getting some of the same gauges that you got also

w00t! Sweet gauges! I look forward to seeing them working, and to see how they help with your hotlaps =D

they look nice. Is the air fuel a wideband? If not you will want to invest in one. Those narrow band gauges look cool when running but are useless for true performance info when running on custom tunes

i didnt get a wideband yet. eventually ill get the wideband gauge + the whole kit.

Looks good...

Just incase you want to keep that autometer a/f guage but want wideband accuracy: http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store...?idproduct=151


I'm getting this since I ordered a lunar a/f gauge to match my gauge cluster.

that kit above will make any autometer A/F gauge a wide-band.

You left out some wires LOL. Better pics?

I'm assuming that was a question and not a statement so yes it will give autometer a/f gauges wideband accuracy.

Autometer has wideband gauges with digital a/f ratio displayed. id get that if i got a wideband.

wires are hanging out because they arent installed. i just pulled my oem pillar off to size up this one and align the gauges so they look straight.

Yes, I know I also know that autometer has been having issues with their wideband gauges. They've been having difficulties with the 02 sensors they have been using and the gauges themselves. If you want a wideband with a digital read out go with the AEM Uego gauge.

Besides autometer's widebands are only available in certain series like the NV, cobalt, etc. If you want to keep those gauges then what I posted is a good alternative, no not the best but good. I personally want all my gauges to match so I'm getting the wideband stuff for my lunar a/f gauge.

i was gonna go the route with the LC-1 kit but i went ahead and bought this instead of making my autometer gauge work as a wideband, i wanted the digital number read out. plus i left my cluster plain with the z series gauges.

Yea the LC-1's are suppost to be great and all but for the price I would just go with the AEM Eugo wideband. $250 on ebay brand new, comes with both white and black face overlay, and a block and silver bezel. Not to mention it has the digital read out just like the LC-1.

add to that all the F'n cold weather we have gotten here in our area and I can TOTALLY understand :worship2:

I have froze my ars off with my current projects

-12 below and then add wind chill

i got a decent picture now. this shows it alot better.

What can the gauge in the middle monitor? Very nice.

Its an Autometer Ultralite digital pro shift system (level 2)

Level 2: Includes all the Level 1 features plus a four programmable shift points allow you to set an entire cycle of gear changes. This feature allows you to keep your eyes on the road and still monitor your shift points to achieve maximum power and traction. As you approach your shift points, the LED lights will illuminate to notify you to shift. The launch light feature allows you to set a precise launch rpm from a dead stop. The LED lights will illuminate when you reach your launch point and flash when this rpm is exceeded.
# Digital RPM Display
# Super-Bright, Quick-Reacting LED Shift Light
# Easy, Three-Button User-Programmable Interface
# Four-Stage Programmable Shift Points with Launch Light Feature
# Progressive Color Change Shift Lights
# Custom Shift Light Color
# Compatible with .5-6 Pulse Ignition Signals (4- to 12-Cylinder Engines)

Sounds like you sold me a gauge,where did you get yours and was it a good deal.

got it on ebay for 125 new for the level1 gauge and got a level 2 upgrade free. i got a letter saying congratulations we at autometer upgraded your dpss to level 2 blah blah

Well I did the install of these gauges yesterday at work. I didnt think I could do it myself but it wasnt too hard, just time consuming. I didnt really feel too comfortable splicing into the PCM harness, but luckily I had access to ALLDATA at work.

I started with the PEP tach adapter because it had detailed instructions with pictures. I already had the kick panels and scuff plates removed for a couple weeks, so that was out of the way. After the tach adapter was installed without the gauge, I tried starting up the car. crank no-start with theft flashing. "SHIT" I say to myself. I grabbed my XCAL2 and see if I could pull a code or something... no code. "What the hell", im thinking... I tried a couple more time. Still crank no-start. Ive got full power, just no fuel. Well, after I give a quick glance, I didnt put the PCM bolt back in, so I put it back in and car fired right up. After that, I wire up common power and grounds up and hook those up to see if I have power. Everything was lookin good so far. Now it was time for air/fuel wire, and the rest of the tach adapter. I wire everything up and it all looked good. Trans temp sensor still isnt in yet. I spent 5 hours on the wiring and wasnt in a mood to mess around with trans temp sensor I probably didnt have the fittings for anyways.

So it took me from 10 to 3 with about 45 minutes of eating and messin around with the saturday workers. Well onto the pictures...

i like the shift light thing. how bright is it compared to a normal shift light? i just put a dual pillar pod in my fox (oil pressure/water temp) with a tach/shift light. but ide like to have the launch rpm light...

well with this one you can change shift light colors, there is high and low, and then theres 1-6 on dim and bright. on high and bright, it hurts my eyes, even in the day. lol

you can also turn off the rpm if you desire so its just a shift light. its a really nice gauge.

You should do a write up on this. I have a boost gauge and air fuel gauge that I need to get installed both auto meter.
