Legasee Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I haven't had much luck finding pics of where you guys mount your boost, EGT, etc gauges (yes..I've searched ) I'm definitely gonna get a boost gauge...just wondering what color(s) would go well with the both the 2.5i and GT factory gauges, thanks a lot!

Canuck 2.5GT Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 The factory gauges were made by Defi so they would be the best match (they even do the start up cerimony like the factory gauges.) People seem to like installing the gauges in the cubby (where the JDM legacys have there navi system). You can fit two 52mm gauges in there and still keep the door functional. But with 60mm gauges you loose the door. Ill heres some pictures other members have posted. Im sure there are many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks awesome!...keep'em coming...and uhhhhh...DEFI gauges are the BEST (and most expensive...but since I'm only getting the manual boost gauge, it probably wo'nt be too bad)...they have that calibrating/sweeping needles (cerimony) like the instruments on the STi's and Legacy's...a discussion topic!... Keep the pictures coming... (what do the instruments on the 05 non-GT Legacy's look like when lit?...I have yet to see one lit in the dark) In Taiwan now...

nKoan Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Just installed my Defi BF (60mm) gauge on my steering column. I put the Defi Link v2 in the cubby hole. I want a better place to mount my gauge, but I haven't found a good option yet. The cubby was my favorite place, but I ended up with 60mm gauges, and I really wanted to keep the cubby door functional. I have a feeling I'll be moving the thing, as soon as I figure out a better mounting place (and get another day or two to fab up what I need).

doogdog Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Having many gauges on my WRX, I wanted a way to monitor things on my OBXT. I didn't want to clutter up the interior with a lot of gauges, this is a link on what I have.http://www.fullthrottlespeed.com/itemdesc.asp?CartId={801923D6-021A-42F8EVEREST-B82C-C6EBA030B194}&ic=050SCANWRX&eq=&Tp=It says it is for the WRX, it works just fine for the OBXT and Legacy GT I would assume. Best part of it is that I was only $229.00 shipped. I installed it in my cubby above the clock. Pics to come shortly as soon as I figure out how to post them.Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to do this but I don't want to start pulling apart my new 28k car before i have a clue. Is there a kit? Where did the backing plates come from??? Who should I contact for help? Any help from anyone is greatly appreciated.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 People have posted this info in this forum already. I would suggest doing a search. As for how they are mounted, a backing plate will need to be made by you. As far as I know, there isn't anything availbale yet. I believe people have stated they found good material at Office Depot, but I could be wrong. You'll find the correct answer in the installation threads.

doogdog Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 That link isn't working. Can you tell us what the product name is? It was working yesterday, it's called the Scanmaster 3. You can get it at www.fullthrottlespeed.com. It's under the electronics and tuning section , then the scan tool section. It's made for the WRX but it works just fine on the LGT and OBXT. It will however not check and clear CEL codes on the LGT & OBXT. A list off what the tool will actually scan: Boost Spark advance in degrees Short Term Fuel Trim Long Term Fuel Trim Engine Airflow, Grams per second RPM Injector Pulsewith, in milliseconds Injector Duty Cycle Throttle Position Sensor (%) Vehicle Speed Acceleration (G-meter) 0-60 or quarter mile ET Coolant temp in degrees F Battery Voltage Air temp sensor (intake) EGT You can log to a PDA if desired. I basically use mine as gauges, although you can only use one paramater at a time on the display. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTourer Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Doogdog, That Scanmaster 3 is pretty slick. It's relatively affordable and has just the features I was looking for. How did you install it? Any instructions? I'm already getting ideas where I could stealth mount that bad boy :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any instructions? I'm already getting ideas where I could stealth mount that bad boy :grin: Easy to install... Just plug it into your OBDII port. It was a bit more involved putting it in the cubby (just had to remove and re-install the pins on the connector to slide throught the hole in the cubby), nothing that should take more than an hour or so. If you're thinking of getting this unit (highly reccomended) and need more detailed pics let me know. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
