Cristiano, just a quick note to thank you for a fine product. Everything hooked up easily and the calibration setup for the additional gauges was well thought out and easy to use. I hooked up everything in accordance with the schematic I posted earlier and even though my power is 1.5vdc over what you recommended it seems fine. I used it with the revburner for over a year without problems. The one amp supply just wouldn't power everything including the lighting. Thanks again, probably wont make me race any better on iracing, but it sure looks cool in my opinion.
Regards,
Derek

Hey Derek,
Nice looking cockpit, I am in the process of seting up a new dashboard for my T500 and triples, I saw wondering if you could supply a little bit of background info on what you used to house your gauges, I am undecided on which way to go. I have a cluster from an Integra removed from the housing and 2 two inch gauges that I want to work into the dash along with the buttons and encoders. Almost forgot about the new pro race that I have.

Mr. W, I built it out of scrap 3/4" poplar wood for the cases and 1/4" plywood for the fronts. I attached a side view of the whole thing to give some perspective. I used the 2" gauges as well plus a large 5" tach. I made the tops removable to aid in wiring everything up.
Good luck, and look forward to seeing yours when completed.

Hello.
Thank you for sharing.
Can you say what gauges you have used?
That would help some people.
Thank you
Cristiano

I used the following gauges, all found on amazon.com
1) Sunpro CP8215 StyleLine Voltmeter - Black Dial (this one is only hooked to the +12v and ground, just shows DC volts of the power supply)
2) Sunpro CP8211 StyleLine Electrical Water/Oil Temperature Gauge - Black Dial (2 of these, one for water one for oil)
3) Sunpro CP7950 Electrical Fuel Level Gauge - Black Dial
4) Sunpro CP8212 StyleLine Electrical Oil Pressure Gauge - Black Dial
5) Sunpro CP7914 Super Tach III 5" Chrome Bezel/White Face Tachometer with Shift Light
All gauges have the below listed connections with the following exceptions (#1 no gauge drive signal, and #5 tach uses one ground line for both lighting and gauge power)
1) + 12 volts for lighting
2) Ground for lighting
3) + 12 volts for gauge power
4) Ground for gauge
5) Connection for gauge drive signal
