so what all gauges out there have a 10-20 afr calibration?

i'm having a hard time finding a gauge alone without a controller.

Sorry to bring this thread back but idk what to do bout my gauge issue here.. I wish this haltech display gauges would be back n runnin so i can get correct readings from my gauge n what the haltech is displaying.. I purchased this prosportgauge but it just aint readin my a/f ratio correctly.. Danny was cool enough to re-calibrate em for me thinkin it might be off but it wasn't.. I thought it was my tune at first running real lean but i checked it out with my tuner n everything is spot on.. I don't hit anythin higher than 11.5 (which i really like) on his dyno.. First thought it might've been his dyno wrong so me n Danny datalogged a quick run today n it didn't read any higher than 11.5 again.. Problem im having is that my prosport gauge is reading way high... like 12 n mid 12's... it's not reading exact as to what my haltech is reading.. it aint the tune or anythin cuz everythin is fine with that part so ive come to the conclusion that the gauge is jus aint workin right... now im stuck cuz the haltech display gauge is out of order n tryna to go outside of it n order somethin different seems to read differently than what my haltech is saying.... any ideas or suggestions? Hal any updates when this part is gonna available again?

Haltech hasn't even selected a new manufacturer yet so there is not even a glimpse of a timeline. Once they find one then they can find out how long it will take to produce.

you might have a bad gauge. I have a prosport sitting here. I'll hook it up next week and see how it works. Make sure you have your gauge set to wideband. It has some adjustments on the back of the gauge that have to be selected to read true wideband.

also there might be a wiring issue in there too. if the gauge is seeing a different voltage than is actually being produced it wo'nt read correctly.

Man, i hope they find a manufacturer for it asap...
I'm pretty sure the gauge is set correctly n wired up correctly.. I'll see bout the gauge being set to wideband...
Thanks for tryin ur prosport... Lemme know how it goes.. Thanks

Gauge is setup with the correct dip switch configuration according to the the instructions, and is getting the correct voltage, its just the gauge reads approx .5 points higher than the logs.

I tired re calibrating the haltech controller, but haltech logs show it being a constant 11.5 when in boost when the gauge reads 12.0 or so.

so the voltage going to the gauge is 0.5V higher than what the haltech sees?

for a universal gauge, there should be some sorta pot your can turn to have the voltage the gauge reads match whats on your multimeter

I'm starting to think it was a waste of 70 bucks. This is y I'd like da haltech display gauge cuz its for my haltech wideband. Would gimme an accurate reading. It's uneasy to be in boost n see my a/f gauge readin high 12s

not if you know how much it's off by. If it's always off by .5 then no biggy. if it changes then biggy.

i never pay attention to my gauge when i'm driving hard anyways. that's how you crash your ****.

it's not always off by .5 sometimes its way off... after datalogging it's never on point what my haltech is displaying... its been off a full point yet my log shows 11.5 MAX. I don't stare at it when driving hard but i do make it a point to check with quick glimpses... its a mod that lets me know when i should back off or if sumthin might be wrong :P

see, that makes me think you have a bad gauge if it's off randomly with the same voltages.

and trust me, by the time your brain tells your foot it's time to get off of the gas the damage is far beyond.

if it ever does have an issue you'll find out way before you can get your foot off the gas.

lol tru.. so i guess for now my gauge is just a roided up led display..

I hate universal gauges

have you actually put a multimeter on the wires? MY AEM reads different than my haltech because they are not grounded together. My AEM sends the 0-5V to the haltech but I have the AEM grounded by the gauge and not spliced into the Haltech wiring.

You need to meter the voltage going into the gauge using the grounds that the gauge uses and then meter the voltage in the haltech harness using the haltech ground wire.

so should i just run my power and ground together all the way to my haltech wideband unit then?

sounds like a way to elminate that possible error.

ya thats correct way to do it. i might rewire mine, but at least my voltage offset is consistent so I just adjust it in the calibrations

any more information on this? Elperuano, did you find a solution? My dad just ordered a ton of prosport gauges for the z32, and if i like the way they look i may go with the haltech w/b controller and prosport gauges.
On his he ordered a w/b for each bank and i'll just wire the gauge's output wire from each to the haltech to log.

Nope ;( still no word on when they're gonna find a company to manufacture this so for now im SOL on this dual channel wideband that was supposed to go hand-in-hand with my haltech ems.
prosport gauge is way off but my haltech logs show a steady 11.5 at WOT. Gauge shows over 12... wired correctly so anythin else beside from that is some mcgyver stuff ur gonna have to pull. But if u do manage to get it to work correctly n it reads actual true numbers lemme know
