[Livvy]

What do people think of these?

[Zero7]

IMO they look a bit platic, are they designed to fit where the stero is? Liv, I thought you had sold your mota, you keeping it?

 

[Evs]

Very nice indeed - and if they'll fit in the dash with your stereo then a much neater solution than A-pillar or dash-top mounted gauges 8)

 

[C&S Evo7]

Nice. i think they used to fit these as a factory option to the evos.

I think you may still need to buy senders though .

Defi are imported into the UK by Tein uk.

what do the gauges show? oil temperature and...... ??

Nope, the DIN gauges in Evos aren't Defi.
Any Defi gauges you buy will come supplied with senders/sensors.

 

[C&S Evo7]

Don't want to argue Trung but the Evo guages are exactly the same as defi apart from Ralliart logos etc.
I have been looking at getting some for my wifes E7 :wink:

Guages show Oil temp, Water Temp and Oil Pressure.
You will need a sandwich plate for the oil senders.

Maybe its going in the Ickle black Yaris? :lol:

They are an easy solution Livvy, but personally I prefer them to be in easy view like a pod on top of the dash (like I had in my scoob) :wink:

 

[SJ_Skyline]

Propper Defi's are long and a way one of the best gauges on the market imho

 

[mikegsi]

looked at these the other week, but thought dincs was going to sell some other nice looking gauges, im after an oil temp one

 

[willr]

gauges

they look well cool, wish i had them in mine 8)

 

[Wootty]

Half way through fitting these. Waiting for the EGT one then will connect them up fully :lol:

 

[mikegsi]

gotta be honest mate, i'm not to keen on those, they look HUGE!!

 

[Trung]

I'm guessing these gauges are no bigger than 52mm (smallest size you can get).
Any smaller and you'll need a magnifying glass to read the data.

Yep - 52mm - cant get any smaller, and they dont look that big in real life. Its a trial fit at the mo as its a tight squeeze in the spare din slot.

So what do these monitor, I'm guessing it is oil temp, oil pressure and water temp, if that is the case then I'm sure you would have to buy seperate sensors.

Is anyone able to confirm this?

yup

3 gauges = 3 sensors

I've fitted mine in the last week. Quite a lot of effort but well worth it. Mine are defi copies as my budget didn't run to the real thing at this point in time :-(

Cheers,

did you have to buy the sensors with yours?

ALL Defi gauges come with sensors. :!:
When installing water sensor you'll require an additional T-piece to mount the sensor into the radiator hose.
Installing the oil temp and press sensors, you'll require a sandwich plate which fits between the oil filter and the block or alternatively you can plug the oil press sensor into the press switch and oil temp sensor into the sump. The later is the harder method.
