RX8 Cluster Gauge Kit

Consisting of oil pressure/temperature sensors, a sleek screen that mounts inside the factory instrument cluster and a tiny control board that goes on the back, this kit is meant to blend in with the OEM looks while providing crucial gauges about the engine.The screen comes in either metric or imperial units and with 3 layout options for you to choose whichever you like best:You may also mix the units (for example temperatures in °C, pressure in PSI or temperatures in °F and pressure in BAR).As a standard feature, the kit will change brightness (dim/brighten) and color (white/red) automatically to match the cluster at all times.Another standard feature is the screen turning bright red in case a gauge triggers an alarm for overheating, lack of oil pressure, or too high of an engine oil temperature.Default alarm levels are:

• Coolant temperature > 225°F / 105°C
• Oil pressure < 7 PSI / 0.5 bar
• Oil temperature > 230°F / 110°C

These can be changed, for free, during checkout (leave a message). Or by you, with the optional customization keyboard, at any time.

Attention to detail is the norm here! Since the screen has to cover the cruise control lights, and in some clusters even the low engine oil light, these two have been moved over into the screen:These CRUISE/LOW LVL indicators require no extra wiring — they are taken from the car’s native CAN bus. Thus, the kit maintains FULL OEM functionality and looks!The RX8 Cluster Gauge Kit includes:

1. Instructions — ~60 pages of step-by-step, illustrated installation instructions.
   CLICK HERE to read the instruction manual.
2. All required hardware: modified banjo bolt, oil temperature sensor, oil pressure sensor, plug-and-play wiring
3. Screen assembly
4. Control board and all miscellaneous items required for install
5. Monday to Sunday email support

Installation can be done in 3 ways: soldered-in kit, plug-and-play kit, or an entire pre-modded cluster for those looking for the absolute easiest way.

Since the car does NOT come with oil pressure/oil temp sensors, these are provided with the kit. Installation is as follows:

1. Oil pressure sensor installs where the OEM oil pressure switch used to sit.
2. Oil temperature sensor installs in the front timing cover (where oil is hottest, after passing through the engine). A modified banjo bolt is included.

Optional extras:

1. Modding the factory coolant temperature gauge scaling: Under stock function, the needle stays in the middle between 160°F–235°F (70°C–113°C) and won’t move until 245°F (120°C). Too late to save the engine! This mod makes it respond from 212°F (100°C), maxing at 230°F.

2. Customization keyboard: plug-in keyboard lets you change parameters like layout, units, alarm levels, sensor calibration, hysteresis, screen color mode.

3. Rotary compression tester: the kit can show 3 raw compression readings, cranking RPM, ambient pressure, and corrected values. Color-coded for clarity. Normally $170 standalone — best to bundle here.

4. Logging via OBD2 (Torque Pro, Dashcommand): The kit outputs true oil pressure & temperature, behaving like the ECU’s own OBD2 sensors.

* Full hardware is included for all optional extras.
* NOT compatible with automatic RX8s (unless you don’t mind losing gear indication).
* NOT compatible with Series 2 RX8s (different cluster design).CLICK HERE to read the full instruction manual (with more pictures).
