Boost Gauge +

[Invasion1]

Im wanting a Boost Gauge in my CS when i get everything running....I know the TGP's had a "boost" gauge but im kinda looking for one thats a bit more accurate.  :wink:

any one who knows the interior of a 1988-1994 CS knows locations to put gauges are few and far between.....


and to get it out of the way NOW!!!! IM TOTALLY AGAINST "A" Pilar Pods!!

so i have the UB3 Digital Dash, ECC, DIC and HUD all with have that teal colour display.....

so i figured i hit it big with this!!!




THREE IN ONE!!!! (Colour Display Matches Too!!!)


BOOST
EGT (exhaust temp)
TEMPERATURE (water or ATF or oil)


here is the write up:

The new ODYR-25-1 is the answer to performance displays in a compact space!  The ODYR-25-1 displays Exhaust Gas Temp, Boost, and temperature (transmission, oil, or water) all in a space normally reserved for a single 2-1/16? gauge!  Using an outboard control module, the ODYR-25-1 is extremely simple to use, and includes a single connection to the gauge, eliminating bulky wiring!  Measuring only 1? deep, this unit is sure to fit nearly any application, either stock or custom.  The innovative graphic vacuum fluorescent display offers several viewing options: from all three readings, to each reading individually.  User adjustable warning points alert the user of any problems or malfunctions in the vehicle, despite the display being viewed. All sending units included to make installation a snap!

What do you guys think???

That would look nice mounted in a pod mounted to the HUD on the dash.  Still in view but not on the pillar.  Good find.

How much $$?

I know the looks of the CS Cutty, only one that had that sporty round back window etc, sharp looking ride, almost got one once 8)   AND the Teal of that gauge would match up nice to the rest of the interior displays!

I have a rack of these, since Amber is the TGP Color Scheme  8)

Are you going to share where you get these. I am getting a fuel pressure and boost for christmas but if I could get it in one gauge I would preffer. Takes less room.

Thats a nice one Jeff............... :shock:


Whats the price tag??

[Invasion1]

oh ya


you can find the one i listed at


www.dakotadigital.com

im thinking of putting mine on the left of the Digital Cluster where the large section is that has the Fog Light Button....

no pods of any kind for this guy!!!!!!


im going to contact Dakota Digital and find out more info and see if its avaliable in other configurations like Jeff's

I want Boost and EGR but no use for Temp...... :? maybe Fuel Pressure like Jud mentioned or maybe Air/Fuel

I will Post my findings

Those gauges are great so I had to find out what and where to buy.  Here is what I came up with.  Expensive!

Your correct to expensive, 3 or 4 of thoese would be worth more than the car.  :roll:  310 for boost/fuel pressure. :cry: I'll just leave my list alone and suffer with autometer gauges.

Where are you getting your Davis?

Im probibily going with the Dakota Digital one i originally posted about....pending more info..... :?

I like the idea of one multi-gauge than 3 seperate ones cluttering up the interior....

I see on the website they have a retailers section and you can buy directly from Dakota Digital but im going to research i bit more

[GutlessSupreme]

I think the digital gauges look awesome..

personally, in a Cutlass, I would take any gauges out of their original housing and mount them into the faceplate of the ashtray.. would work really well for digitals because the display won't be huge and you'd have plenty of space to mount a few and keep it looking clean.

Jud, 3 to 4 dual gauges would be 6 to 8 items you are monitoring, I think you are getting too personal with your car and it might get offended :lol:

Well i have the spot on the left of the Cluster where there is that square section that only has a lit up fog lamp switch.... :roll:

one gauge would fit there and i was also thinking the ashtray location... :wink:

and i agree i would take the round Bezel off and try to fab it up in to one of those sections and just leave a little square opening window for the info being shown...

thats my scheme anyway.....

[Jeff M]

Aaaahh, I knew if I did not give more info fast enough, reactions would happen first :lol:   The features in these SPA gauges are vast and more than in a Greddy, Defi, etc and other such highly accurate quality gauges at this level.  Now consider you have 2 gauges/displays in one (and that useful handling of pod real-estate); Dual Color, Adjustable Brightness, stores max/min values and can be set to alert/activate a relay when a Max or Min value is reached (too high a boost or coolant/tranny etc temp, too low a fuel pressure or oil pressure etc, OR, use these max/mins-relay to activate something like a secondary fuel pump or injector, or intercooler spray, or keep thinking and come up with your own ideas!), Centigrade or Fahrenheit, Pressure Display (Bar, CM2 or PSI), Low Battery Warning, Instant or Averaging display value (sampling at .1 second to 25 seconds),  works with Thermistor, RTD, K-Type Thermocouples, their pressure sensor good for up to 16 Bar or 200 Bar, Adjustable resolution down to .1 with accuracy (most are analog and read only notches :lol: especially EGT), other features but at this point more features than other gauge out there, for any price.  

So for an example on one SPA Gauge; a highly accurate boost gauge that reads to 232 psi (no need to be limited in picking from a 20 or 25 or 30 psi gauge, and 2,900 psi for you jokers laughing at your competition...NOS you sillies :lol: ) with all the above features, and fuel pressure with the same ranges with all the same features for $310.  Divide by 2 and that is $155 each side, and I just checked, a Greddy Boost Gauge with Peak Hold and Alarm features (that?s it for features), lists for $240, their Fuel Pressure lists for $290.  If we add the Greddy Retail of $240 for Boost and $290 for Fuel Pressure we get $530 and need 2 gauge pods, verses $310 retail for the Dual SPA Gauge with more features and better accuracy (in a digital display that shows this, no analog notches to squint your eyes at :lol: ).  Its by far a better deal when comparing it this way, the dollars do add up but most just need Boost and Fuel Pressure, I heard that SPA is working on Wide-Band and Boost so that would be a slick piece!!

Will other digital gauges serve the bill as well for others, sure as hell.  But the SPA Gauges do offer a lot of useful and powerful features in a quality gauge!

So if the cool teal blue Dakotas are less than $310 for Boost and Fuel Pressure, it?s a total steal  :shock:  :headbang:  :D

the Dakota 3 in 1 says its $399 on the site........

includes everything needed to install  :?

Im keen on the Boost, EGT but i would pick something other than water,oil,ATF for the third option....

Fuel Pressure would be cool or maybe an Air/Fuel Gauge  :?


if im stuck i will go with oil temp if i have to settle

Get the fuel pressure gauge you will need it when you start tuning. The air/fuel I have found to be usless when on the threshold of detonating, (I always seem to be there trying to get the last drop of power) although it is entertaning at a long stop light. :lol:

I have air/fuel, boost and pressure now and the A/F is going when I get the new gauge. Guess I'll have to turn the radio up. :)

I thought quite a bit between digital and physical gauges and just decided to go physical mainly because of the direct readings, cost and elimination of a sender. One gauge would be nice but there is room for two cups on the stering column and still be able to see the tach.

I picked up a autometer fuel pressure and isolator for cheap off ebay so all I realy need is the boost and another cup. I'll have 125 wrapped up in the two gauges. :)
