Gauges, BOVs, Turbo Timer, HUD + Accessories

[DEVILsEXA]

Hey guys,

Some of you may know that i was having a hard time in the last year. Well i moved back home for a while to get myself back on my feet, i have ended up working back at the first car audio place i worked for a few years ago which is extremely lucky.
It's something i love doing, the pay is good and to top it off the boss has allowed me to delve into the performance side of things.

So to start off with i've got in a selection of good quality stepper motor gauges (all 52mm at this stage), a couple of Blow Off Valves to choose from, a cheap turbo timer that works, Heads Up Display kit, gauge sender adapters, gauge pods, cheap boost controller that works and some shift lights with a digital RPM readout in the middle of them (no more ghey monsta tachos!)

I'll upload pics in the next couple of days.

Gauges: Smoked face, White or Amber colour (Also can be set up one colour for day one colour for night). Stepper motor design. Peak warning. Opening ceremony. Can be 'diasey chained together so only run one power wire to them and each sensor wire! Each gauge comes with it's required sensor unit (as they are electronic), their mounting cups with sun visors (these can be left off if not desired).


52mm Boost $89
52mm Vacuum $89

52mm Oil Pressure $99
52mm Oil Temp $89
52mm Air Fuel Ratio $79

52mm Exhaust Gas Temp $99
52mm Voltage $79

____________________________________

Turbo Timer: It is a match box size turbo timer with an auto calculation function (drive hard = time increases, cruize = time decreases). Easy to install.

RaceTech with Auto function $59

____________________________________

Shift Light: This unit is a bit smaller than the Auto Meter shift lights in length (making it easier to install) maybe slightly larger in diameter, it has selectable 4-6-8 cyl switch and being digital doesn't need a "pill kit" to set shift limit. The awesome thing about these is that they have a digital RPM readout in the middle of the light easy to see and read. (I'll take a video of it working when i swap out my Auto Meter one).

RaceTech with digital RPM readout $99

____________________________________

HUD: This is is fairly easy to install and will display Speed and RPM up onto your windscreen for easy to read display without taking eyes off the road.

Heads Up Display kit $199

____________________________________

Boost Controller: Simple bleed valve, it works as good as the GFB one as i have tested it out.

RaceTech Bleed Valve $49

____________________________________

BOVs: These are Taiwan copy BOVs (What this means is that they are better than the cheaper Chinese copies... and yes there is a difference between Taiwan and China).

Blow Off Valve 1 $79
Blow Off Valve 2 $79
Blow Off Valve 3 $79
Blow Off Valve SSQV "Copy" $99

____________________________________

Sender Adpt: These adapters are easy to install. Oil filter adapter goes between the block and the oil filter, easy screw on design with rubber seal like the oil filter to ensure a proper seal. Plenty of threaded holes for various sensers/senders.
The water temp adapters are ones that go inline in a hose, you need to know the inner diameter of the hose ranging from 28mm to 42mm.

Oil Filter Adapters; M18, M20, ¾ UNF16. $39

Water Temp Adapters; 28mm to 42mm $39

____________________________________

Gauge Pods: All to suite 52mm can be filled out to suite larger gauges. All universal fit. There are some cars, that no matter how much you trim off the Pods will not quite fit correctly. But in my many installs of these into many different cars i have always been able to get it to look respectable!

RHS “A Pillar” Pods;
1 Hole 52mm $29
2 Hole 52mm $39
3 Hole 52mm $49

Cleaned up all the posts.

Here's some pics i got today on my mobile... will set up to take better pics as soon as i get chance and some video of the gauges / shift light working!

*Sorry about the qual of some pics*

This is the boost gauge, off, on with amber light selected then on with white light selected.

This i think is the R2D2 BOV... going to test these out on my car and make a sound clip for each!
http://pics.blueiceco.com/For_sale/R2D2.jpg
Most will know what this one is, the SSQV copy! There are some really cheap ones getting around... these are better quality than those, it's hard to explain to someone who hasn't seen it first hand.
http://pics.blueiceco.com/For_sale/SSQV.jpg

[cypress_blaze]

dude, not to be a twit at all, but you shouldn't sell copies of bovs. Even at a reduced rate, they still leak.

If you can get the SSQV close to or under MSRP, that would be a good price. But putting up copied stuff that the quality is nill (the reviews are all over the internet) I wonder why stores outside of china/taiwan/hong kong even try to sell these? It should almost be illegal to sell the copies.

[DEVILsEXA]

Jesse; I wrote a realy long reply at lunch time but for some reason it didn't post. So here's the short of it as i cant be bothered going into deep details again.

There IS a difference between Tiawan and China manufacturers. Most Tiawan manufacturers actually make the brand name items, therefor they are the same quality! If you want me to prove it i'd be happy to, you just pay me the $99 for the BOV and i will pull it apart along side a China copy i've got and show you the differences.

If they leak, send them back! I will be testing all my products on my own cars and making videos/sound files for them.

I offer 12months warranty because that is what the manufacturer offers me!

You wont get that with alot of China based manufacturers.

Next week i will hopefully get the time to test out all the BOVs and make sound files!

[guess_whos_who]

also most people can't afford the real stuff which is sometimes upto 6 times the price. If your willing to pay $500 for a BOV no ones stopping you, but for $79 with a 12 month warranty you can buy 5 over a 5 year period and still have spent less than the real one!

[TeamGeorge]

lol, this might be the stupidist question someones posted here... but can a BOV go on a stock CA18DE manuel to get teh cool 'cutshhhhhhh' noice when changing gears? and bleeder valuve? or even intercool for looks/erformance? or do they actually surve a purpose? lmao.

^ i only ask these questions cos i see alot of peope have a pod filter on there n/a engines.

[DEVILsEXA]

Hello,

POD filters are just a replacement for the air box and panel filter!

Intercoolers obviously only work with turbos/superchargers that cause the intake charge to heat up above ambient temp. You can get "cold air intakes" that look like intercoolers.

The bleeder valve wont do anything on your car but make it run crap.

A 'real' BOV wont work on a N/A motor. But you can buy "N/A BOVs" that are either electronic or have a charge canister, not as loud and dont sound real to the person that knows what a real BOV sounds like.

[TeamGeorge]

i see, thanks for clearing that up for me hehehe.

i will look into getting a POD filter :P

How about putting both of them against the real one?

That's like using a tiawanese turbo, made from white metal.

When people ask, don't you feel "cheap" telling them it's a copy?

It would make me feel cheap.

Remember, you can only pick two:

Fast
Reliable
Cheap

[DEVILHANZO]

now i have NEVER seen any of these products, and yes i am thinking about buying some of his items, but there is some things most people seem to forget these days,
the thought that if its made in china or tiwan or korea, ect means its shitty is wrong! i have found through personal experience working in the automotive retail industry that ALOT of your big name brand items are made in these regions of asia, but its not a publisised fact as they dont want their products to loose value in their customers eyes, take this for instance, a few years back a company i dealt with closed their australian production facility as it was cheaper for them to get a item made in china, because for what it costs here just to produce, over there they can pay one person to hand make it, another person to polish and assemble, another to quality check and package and post it here and still save money, and here is the kicker, IT WAS A BETTER QUALITY ITEM THAN WHAT THEY MADE HERE!!!
its a sad fact, but true and i have saw the difference in the products myself.
so before you go and slag something off because its from china or tiwan, ect, actually look at the quality of the item and judge it on that.

having said that, yes you still do get shitty items from there, but you get them from anywhere :P


and can you post up some pics of the pillar gauge pods, the two gauge ones

[born2run]

hey any chance u could post a pic of the hud, ths shift light n the timer please. im real intrested in these 3 items.

[RBZILA]

more pix of the dash gauge mounts

[DEVILsEXA]

Pics 2morra guys!!!

I am also able to "supply" all of the above items, so if you have or work for a business that would like to have some of these items in stock please feel free to PM me for a price list. It will only be given out to those whom i deem worthy and that are able to prove to me that they are legitimate!

[HiToRiKo]

i work for peugeot does that count?

[DEVILHANZO]

still waiting on those pics

[guess_whos_who]

does the peak warning on the gauges make a sound or only light up the peak dot?

Thanks

[DEVILsEXA]

Can do both.

Although when you have the audible warning turned on, the gauges make the beep when doing the opening ceremony. Can be quite annoying if more than one gauge installed or turning the ignition on and off alot.

DevilHanzo, sorry mate will get those tomorrow!

[blocka]

EDIT: Nevermind, Pictures werent loading

[DEVILHANZO]

Still Waiting.......

[DEVILsEXA]

Sorry, i thought i had put them up but seems that the links were wrong! Fixed now.

If you need other angles and what not, just let me know!

[-=Farad'n=-]

I'm also VERY interested in the HUD kit,

do you have any pics of the display or the product itself ??

thanks - Mark

[DEVILsEXA]

Hey everyone. I've updated the prices on the first post for an Easter clearance sale we're having. These prices will be available up untill the easter weekend.

Regards,
Craig.

EDIT: Also, i'm sorry but i haven't had time to hook the HUD kit up on the test bench yet.

[SFA_CJ]

hey devs :D would you be able to post pics of the Vac gauge and what they do/measure? :):)
also pic of the air fuel ratio gauge ^^
im interested in those 2 and the A-pillar 2 pod thing hehe

and yeh when u can get a pic of the HUD that thing sounds really interesting :D
also, where would you mount the dash gauge pod (just curious) :) thanks heaps!

[DEVILsEXA]

Hey,

I'll hook em up on the test bench on Tuesday (public holiday here on Monday). The VAC gauge just measures you engines Vacuum, it's actually a really good gauge to have as it helps to show the health of your engine as well as help you diagnose any kind of problems it may have. It measures in In.Hg which in numbers on a gauge is directly opposite to a boost gauge with PSI!
The AFR is your usual Lean, Optimal, Rich. With an increment for every .025 of a volt.

I'll bring one of the pillar mounts home and see how they go on the EXA pillar.
But the dash mount ones can go anywhere. What i was actaully thinking is that you can take out the stock Volt, Oil press, gauges and put a triple pod over there and have aftermarket volt, oil press and another gauge!

[SFA_CJ]

yeh that what i thought about the dash pod! :D

with the A-pillar pod, how well to the gauge faces point at the driver?

and with the VAC gauge, is it the same style as the pic of the boost gauge u have? :)

[DEVILsEXA]

Yes all the gauges look exactly the same just the different displays (faces).

The A-pillar pods hold the gauges in the right direction for easy peripheral view by the driver.

[SFA_CJ]

hehe sweet :) i meant, is the face of the VAC gauge the same as the boost gauge (numbers, needle, color)

[DEVILsEXA]

Yes yes, all gauges are exactly the same... just the displays are different "obviously" for each gauge.

If you mean are the Vac and Boost gauge the same, no. The Vac gauge only has neg numbers all the way around the gauge. The boost has both neg and pos.

[SFA_CJ]

ahhh yeah i think i get ya now, i know they're different, but i mean in terms of looks :P it is similar yeah? ^^

also in terms of connecting a Vac gauge sensor as apposed to a boost gauge sensor, are they placed in the same spot in the engine? if so, then, could i use a boost gauge to measure vac, then if i go turbo, well i have a boost gauge :P or doesnt it work like that lol? :)

im just thinking that if in theory you created a ram effect strong enough to be noticable (and i know this isnt likely) but it would read as boost because the backpressure in the air intake against the ram air would create an increase in pressure (PSI)

i noticed when i first got my Pod that when i blew on the side, i could quite easily feel it come out where the afm is connected, i know that even running a pipe from the body kit to blow straight onto the pod (CAI) would still require u to go fast to have a chance at making such an effect, but in theory its possible yeah?

basically i think im just asking, would you recommend for me to get a Vac or boost gauge? :P :)

[DEVILsEXA]

If you were going fast enough with low enough gearing then yes. But in the real world no. The engine RPM to reach a speed that would do that would counteract the effect as at higher RPM the vacuum is more!

But yes you can use a boost gauge as the bottom half of that is your 'vacuum'. Uses the same sensor anyway!

If your going turbo soon then get a boost, if not and you dont want to look like a wanker then just get a vac gauge!

*Edit: There's some pics of the two gauges in question... i'll update the first post with them too.

[Mr . NX-R]

Hey guys,

RHS “A Pillar” Pods;
1 Hole 52mm $29 ***$19***
2 Hole 52mm $39 ***$25***
3 Hole 52mm $49 ***$35***


can this be made for a nx if so i would like one :cheesegri

[StaTiK]

you able to do wideband AFR kits?

[StaTiK]

Chris, they are a universal product. you would need to modify it to fit the NX

[DEVILsEXA]

Stat: yes i can get wide band kits!

Mr. NXR: Yes mate, as Stat said... universal products are meant to fit most things. I.e. you cut where needed and stick or screw on!

[SFA_CJ]

If your going turbo soon then get a boost, if not and you dont want to look like a wanker then just get a vac gauge!


lol :D thanks for explaining stuff to me :) and yeh ive decided im not gonna turbo it so VAC gauge me! lol,,,

hit me up with payment details for

1x RHS “A Pillar” Pod (2 hole 52mm)
1x 52mm Vacuum Gauge
1x 52mm Air Fuel Ratio Gauge

hehe :) thanks

p.s. do they come with instructions? xD

[DEVILsEXA]

Yes they come with instructs all mounting equipment etc.

One thing they don't come with if you use the mounting cups supplied with the gauges is an alcoholic wipe... if your dash has ever had armorall or something used on it you will need to wipe the area where the pods are going with some acetone or wax & grease remover!

All gauges also have 'interconnect' cables which means you can jump power easily from one gauge to the next, so you only need to run one set of power wires to the gauges.

SFA_CJ: YHPM

[DEVILsEXA]

Sorry guys but i cant take pics of the HUD kit working on the test bench... it needs to be installed into a car.

I've taken pics of the components and will upload those when i get home tonight.

[guess_whos_who]

Hey devs, the wideband AFR does that replace the stock O2 sensor or do you have to add another one? The reason i ask is because one would have thought the wideband would confuse the ecu if the signal is different?

Thanks

[DEVILsEXA]

Yes you have to install the second sensor... pretty useless unless you've got an ECU that can take a wide band signal!

Wide bands work 0-5v
Narrow bands work 0-1v

[Buzz]

52mm Air Fuel Ratio $79 ***$59*** does this come with all the sensor's?

[DEVILsEXA]

The AFR Gauge simply hooks onto your factory O2 sensor!

[abbie]

waiting for hud pics

[SFA_CJ]

seeing as its abit quiet, thought i might just ask so i can prepare myself in advance, how hard is it to install these? :P hehe

[DEVILsEXA]

This is the HUD kit!
http://pics.blueiceco.com/For_sale/HUDkit.jpg

SFA_CJ: Not overly hard at all. You just need an ignition wire (not acc) and earth, (light wire if you want). Then in the engine bay just intercept a VAC line for the map sensor and run the wire from that to the vac gauge. Then run a single wire from the O2 sensor (or can take it off the ECU) up to the AFR gauge.

[SFA_CJ]

:) yay not hard

does it matter which vac line? =o

[DEVILsEXA]

One straight out of the manifold would be good!!!

[SFA_CJ]

uhmmm :D

intake manifold? there is a vac line that runs off the main air intake pipe (i think) can i use that? :) sorry i know i ask alot of questions

[DEVILsEXA]

Common misconception. It's not a Vac line if it doesn't hold vacuum!

Yes that is a air hose the same size as the vac lines and is connected to the same solenoids as the vac lines... but nope not one you can use.

There are 3 that you can use the but the best one is the one straight out of the intake mani!

[SFA_CJ]

Common misconception. It's not a Vac line if it doesn't hold vacuum!


lol well there's enough of them :P

straight out of the intake mani,,, i'll have a look tomoro :) if i cant find it, i'll be back xD sorry to b a pain

[-=Farad'n=-]

This is the HUD kit!


ooh ...

does that reflective bit stick to the windscreen ??

- Mark

[SFA_CJ]

i would think it reflects the light up onto the windscreen, so it doesnt obscure vision :P

[SFA_CJ]

got the gauges today :D thanks heaps devs!

working on getting them in now :)

[Buzz]

ok since there no answer via pm how much to send to 7248 launceston tasmania?

[DEVILsEXA]

haha maybe because i'm not online 24/7 :P

I replied to you PM before i even looked in here actually,

For people within OZ it's $10 for an express bag which will cover one gauge only. Savings are had for more than one gauge, but will not be via express.

Ben i'm sorry mate didn't realize you were in Tas, i'll find out tomorrow for you!

[Buzz]

it's all good was online when i sent it so u prob only just logged off all good

[Maxxiz]

Any pics of the HUD in action? :)

[DEVILsEXA]

No sorry, as i stated above it will not work on the test bench, it needs input signals to work!

Just jump in an early S13 with one from factory. It's exactly like that just with extra functions!

[RobnSam]

Craig, what's the make/model of the HUD?

[fever]

look at the date bro i think he will update the thread with new stuff i recon let him come tonight

[RobnSam]

look at the date bro i think he will update the thread with new stuff i recon let him come tonight

heh offtap2:

Thanks fever.. Shows how long since i've looked at this stuff


cheers

[DEVILsEXA]

Working on a website at the moment not much uploaded yet, but adding stuff daily.

www.audiocomalbany.com.au

The HUD is from one of my suppliers "Racetech". They are cheap, but work. I've just put one into my mates Lancer and he likes the 0-400 time etc.

But can show revs or speed on a constant display!

[fever]

what is this HUD thing

[DEVILsEXA]

Heads Up Display.

Shows speed/rpm onto the windscreen!

[TOOQIKK]

get some pics of the unit in your mates car!!!
