RX8 Cluster Gauge Kit

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 standard feature, the kit will change brightness(dim or brighten) and color(white or red) automatically, to match the cluster at all times.

Another standard feature is the screen turning bright red in case a particular gauge triggers an alarm for overheating, lack of oil pressure, or too high of an engine oil temperature.
Default alarm levels are:
1) Coolant temperature(higher than): 225F/105C
2) Lack of oil pressure(less than): 7 PSI/0.5 bar
3) Oil temperature(higher than): 230F/110C
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 2 have been moved over in the screen:

These CRUISE/LOW LVL indicators require no extra wiring – they are taken from the cars’ native CAN bus.

Thus, the kit maintains FULL OEM functionality and looks!

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 is to be installed where the OEM oil pressure switch used to sit

2) oil temperature is to be installed in the front timing cover(where oil is at its hotest, after passing through the engine). For this, a modified banjo bolt is included.

The RX8 Cluster Gauge Kit includes:
1) Instructions! ~60 pages worth of step-by-step, illustrated installation instructions.
CLICK HERE to read the instruction manual.
You may do so before you purchase, to gain a better understading of the features provided.
2) All the required hardware, meaning a modified banjo bolt to fit the oil temperature sensor, oil pressure sensor; plug and play wiring to match
3) Screen assembly
4) Control board and miscellaneous items required for the install
5) Monday to Sunday email support

Optional extras are:
1) Modding the scaling of the factory coolant temperature gauge(that needle). Under stock functionality, this needle will not budge in between 160F-235F (70C-113C), and you won’t notice that it has left its “usual” position until 245F(120C). This is WAY too late for you to catch an overheating engine before it causes damage to the engine. This mod will have the needle start going off center as soon as 212F(100C), maxing out at 230F. It will be obvious that something is going wrong!

2) Customization keyboard: with a small keyboard that you plug into the kit(via a lead stored under the dash), you’ll be able to change parameters such as: screen layout, units of measurement, gauge alarm levels, change calibration of sensors, change hysterezis of gauge updates, enable or disable screen color changing.

3) Rotary compression tester: the RX8 Cluster Gauge Kit can turn into a rotary compression tester. Will show 3 raw compression readings, the cranking RPM of the starter, ambient pressure and 3 corrected readings for 250RPM and sea level. These will be nicely color coded so it is very clear how well the test turned out. Normally priced at $170 for a separate unit, it figures that if you don’t already have one this is the absolute best time to get one!

4) Logging of true oil pressure and oil temperature (via OBD2 loggers such as Torque Pro, Dashcommand)

This feature will allow you to log real oil pressure and temperature using apps such as Torque Pro(and an OBD2 dongle). The kit will behave like the engine ECU when asked of custom OBD2 sensors.

*Full hardware is included for all optional extra features.
*NOT COMPATIBLE with automatic RX8s(unless you are OK with losing indication of what gear you are in)

*NOT COMPATIBLE with series 2 RX8s as their cluster is different.
