yeah I noticed its all one piece, I will probably just disassemble the gauges with the dash intact and try and do it that way.

If you do and find a way without breaking them document it and share.
I would love to find a way to get into the gauges without tearing out the dash, good DIY project so I can add some better gauges to the car.

so really like the gauge... still got to install sensors but tested out the odb2 options.... there some nice info there but without spend a on sensors i doubt you would get what your looking for... im doing boost, oil and radiator temps sensors, af and down the road EGT... should up an update to how that goes tomorrow


oh and install in on an 2011 sti

Mitco39 11-09-2012 01:42 PM

Glad to hear I look forward to more info on them.

will do.

what sensors if any did you have in mind? are you planing on FI?

Mitco39 11-09-2012 02:37 PM

I already got the turbo installed last week, plan on doing the gauge install over the winter here. I am planning on at minimum

Boost, AFR, and should do oil pressure. I would possibly like to add a EGT gauge as well.

well first hold out for there touch gauge... i saw them at sema and there were amazing!

are you going to leave the stock oil temp? i would upgrade it so you can measure the return line and the actually oil pan its-self.... that my plan at least

yea ill let you know how it install goes

Mitco39 11-09-2012 03:36 PM

They don't already have the touch gauge out on the market? Looking at their website I had assumed it was already released. I remember seeing their booth at SEMA last year and being impressed with them (although at the time I had no desire to get one of them).

I would assume that the OBD gauge could pull the stock oil temp info from the ECU, if thats the case I will probably just leave it as is. I got a pretty good oil cooler on it now.

I think they have two different touch-enabled sensors on the market per their website. Unfortunately, the newer one appears to lack the ring of LEDs.

That sucks, I liked the ring of LED's on them. When the time gets a bit closer I will give them a call and see what they have to say for what I want to do. Still gotta recuperate from the FI kit costs, haha.

I have AFR and vac/boost PLX sensors with the PLX multitouch gauges, I plan on getting another AFR, oil pressure, and fuel pressure in the future. Next step is replacing the gauges with a custom computer/LCD for the cubby to do data logging.

How do you like the EVC-S? I'm trying to decide between the EVC-S and the EVC-6.
