I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

Their visors don't fit? All of the visors I've gotten fit perfectly.
I'm a firm believer that ProSport is an exception to the "get what you pay for" rule.

Greddy black 60mm FTW. They match the stock cluster and the green lighting is almost a perfect color match.
I do like their shift light though and its a great price.

im happy with the guages as long as they're accurate. But how can I be sure when its the only guages I've had hooked up. I know my boost gauge has never registered 10psi and thats what the dyno read me at. Im just wondering if prosport will do something about it. Im pretty sure the guage is hooked up right I dont see how it couldnt be. I have no problems with lights and anything else.
Do you have an AVCR?
The boost gauge needle on my AVCR is in sync with my ProSport boost gauge. You have to make sure that they are wired in correctly, and that the boost sensor is mounted correctly to get a proper reading (nipple down).

No I dont have an AVCR. Not sure what that is. Im pretty sure my sensor is mounted right. I will check itILikeCarsYesIDo said:
An AVCR is the electronic boost controller From Apex'i.
It's good to try and have another reference when using a boost gauge, like if you are near 0 vacuum/boost on the boost gauge, your stock gauge (if hooked up) should also read 0.

Agreed. I havent gone electronic on the boost controller yet. Im all stock right now. I would try to compare with my stock but the reaction time is so slow on the stock guage that its hard to do. I tried full boost last night and the prosport read 6psi which I know is not right. I have a ct with 57 trim and a full 3" exhaust. I know for past experience on my other car with stock ct that you gain a couple pounds of boost with just the exhaust mod. The dyno read my at 10psi which I didnt expect that high but I know im pushing more than 6 :3d_frown:
That's weird. Only thing I can think of is that an upgraded CT at lower PSI will still outflow a stock CT. I'm not fairly exact on the numbers, though.
well I could be wrong as well. Or I mean the dyno boost reading could be. I payed more attention to my stock guage yesterday, since I havent even looked at it since I got my prosports. Its reading max boost at 6 psi as well. Same as the prosport. Of course they could both be wrong too. I need another method of reading boost to be sure though.
Where was the vacuum source taken from when they dyno'd?
What car did you take up to the meet? Did I talk with you? I can't remember as there was quite a few there last time

I had a white 89 and a navy 87 NA. Had the wife and kids with me. The wife drove the white and I drove the 87.
Update. Once again I speak before I have all the info in hand. Apologies to the Prosport guys for my ignorance. I obvioulsy on previous test have not done an adequate job of replaying the events of dyno day. When I said Ive gotten on it hard previously, I didnt get the RPM's high enough for long enough to make full boost. This 57 trim obviously needs a more time to start working. I hammered down in 4th gear last night on the Interstate to check the guage again and sure enough I reached 10psi just like the dyno said. Got up to around 5500 rpm and 100mph and then used the hold function on the guage and there it is.
So apologies prosport for putting my foot in my mouth once again!!
I guess it's time to ask directly
Who else has oil pressure and how much is it out by? I have had a new sender sent by Prosport very quickly which was wonderful of them but both are 20psi out, and thats alot to be out. I have replied to their last message with no response, i'm assuming it's because they don't know whats wrong.
Prosport: I may have one hint though, not sure if this is normal but when i connect a battery up to the car the oil pressure red light section comes on, water temp is normal and stays off but oil pressure stays on. Isn't the red part the closing ceremony part?
Oh and before anyone says it's my wiring, i'm using the daisy chain setup and water temp is fine
I'm pleased with prosports service up until then.
One thing i did notice was the gauge read accurately ONCE and for a very short time, the longer i drive, the needle will just drop gradually to 20psi out. So example: Reading accurately at lights, drive, next lights = idle its now reading 2psi out, next lights or idle another psi or 2 and it continues till it tells me i have an almighty 1.5-2psi at idle. Awesome LOL
Is there some way that I can test the sender?

i had the same problem, albeit a different brand gauge. the problem was the sending unit was getting hot due to its placement under the exhaust manifold. it would work fine, then it would start to heat soak and become inaccurate. you can try to build a heat shield, use thermo-shielding, or remote mount the sending unit.
i'm using my stock digital gauges to compare to which unlike analog are quite accurate and definitely are not slow moving.
Thanks for that suggestion dbsupra, i'll heatwrap the sender and see if that helps

Are you able to get the EGT probes seperately and if so can you please PM me a price. I would like to use them for my EMS and I do not need the gauge.
Quick question: How well are people with the dark lens able to see the gauges during the day, and will the clear lens ever come out with the green/white light combo?
Reason I'm asking is because I'm nearing the end of my 1j swap and I need a boost gauge. If I need a boost gauge, I want to get a good one early since I'll be using it, pretty much the life of the car. And I want to be able to mold it into the stock gauge cluster.
