K24R VDO EGT Gauge - S2/RS2 Style

[Rusty]

I've had a couple of PMs over the last year or so asking about an EGT gauge to match up with the K24R boost gauges that I already do. If there's an interest of at least 5 kits then I can look into this. Based on what the other gauges cost, you're going to be looking at about £100 for the gauge (they're more expensive than the boost gauges) and then a thermocouple on top of that. I'd be suprised if a complete kit, including wel-on boss, saw much change from £200.

Please post any interest below.

Analogue to match the stock gauges?

AFR gauge as well?

I'd be interested mate.

Interested in two, one for S2 and one for RS2 Rusty.
Thanks!

Annoyingly, I haven't found a VDO Vision series AFR gauge. Can do a 3rd item, if there's a consensus of opinion. Need to look at a holder too.

I wait.
Thanks!

200 GBP is quite steep concerning you can get a VEMS Round for it.
I know it's not as stylish, but still...

You'll have to do a kit Andy!!!

K24R Boost, AFR, and EGT in a nice panel to replace the centre vents??

VEMS what sorry, EGT gauge or ECU?

I posted as I've had a few enquiries so decided to look into it and from the response above, there seems to be a market for people who want a custom made gauge that matches the existing items. Obviously, hand made custom items carry a premium and the £200 is a guide, it may be more, it may be less; that all depends on exchange rates, dial manufacturing costs and how easy the dials are to actually make etc. The basic gauges and sensor kits aren't exactly cheap.

Another option is to re-work something like an inovate gauge to give digital AFR and EGT but that's serious money and won't really be a match to the other dials...

If there's another VDO Vision series gauge that will work then I'll make one of them up too, do a kit

I do wonder if a generic temperature gauge could be re-calibrated to measure IATs...

This: http://www.vems.hu/wiki/index.php?page=AfreshTiny
AFR + EGT, 150 EUR + sensors.
But I guess custom made stuff is that much more expensive than mass produced stuff... it's all about the quantity.

Sorry for the OT, I don't mean to hijack your thread

Yeah, no worries, it's a shame that I can't find a matching AFR gauge really. Guess that VEMS item is more for people who want function over looks. If you could configure the outputs then VDO do some gauges that work off resistance (I assume thus voltage drop) and they could be calibrated to measure pretty much anything you like, as long as the output is suitable.

Since my car is a fugly Audi 100 anyway, I'm all about function

What do you think Rusty about a VDO Vision gauges background and digital AFR and EGT?, If is possible to keep one centre vent is not a bad idea I think, if I must mount 3 different gauges, I must remove all centre vents.

You can't have an AFR gauge without a WBO2 controller.
