I don't know what all the Pineapple Racing setup comes with, but it looks like the one from Pegasus comes with everything I need, but I don't know cause I've never installed this before. Maybe I'll want probes that react faster or something, but I don't know for sure. I don't even know what exactly each of these comes with as far as quality of probe. I also know of the SPAL gauges...

But $500 is a little out of my price range right now, and I don't need it to be digital anyway. I saw something at the last SEMA that would work too I think, but I don't remember the name of the company now. From what I remember the gauge itself is a datalogger.
Any ideas? |
Honestly... didn't I just go through this? There's a few ways you can go. The pineapple racing one does come with everything you need and is very high quality. Also pay particular attention to the scale of your EGT. The pegasus auto racing one you listed is pretty good but is maxed out at 1800F which is kind of low for my tastes. The pineapple racing one maxes out a little after 2000F which is perfect for a rotary. (Remember under WOT 2000F is not unheard of) This leaves you with some options, so long as you don't have the EGT's that will surpass 1800 you should be fine with either or (thought pineapple is cheaper).
Now if you have the realestate you can get two gauges to actually do this. This is the route I did because I wanted peak/warn functions as well. This way I wouldn't have to look at them 24/7 when driving to see if I'm close to the limit. I could just set the alarm and look at it when something's not running right. For that, I went with two prosport gauges. I found after discount that going that route cost LESS than going with Pineapple. But that's up to you.
