I particularly like the feature that changes the light red when you exceed a set value.
Nice job! I have 4 Glowshift gauges currently, so far they are very reliable. Vanagon ’83 diesel AAZ w/Giles injection, 5spd 4.57R&P+TBD. In my next post, I will get some sensors wired in. Note that as part of its self-diagnostics the GlowShift flashes continuously while any sensor is unconnected. The unit beeps a few time loudly when the key is turned on. HINT: Before reconnecting your cluster smear both contact surfaces with Permatex® Dielectric Grease to extend the lifespan of delicate parts! There you have it, plug the darned thing in and it should work! I had to snip a tiny piece of plastic off of the tabs that press the pins to get the thing closed. There may have been a better way, since the blob of solder prevented the retainer from snapping closed again. I soldered the wires onto the crimp area. This allowed the contact pins to be pulled out. I snapped apart the bus connector by pushing the ends outward and prying it apart.
GLOW SHIFT DIRECT INSTALL
The feed wires are ready to solder in without even trimming, and give you enough free wire to install the cluster. As you will see, it does make for a highly readable gauge up front and center: There were no examples on the internet of installation in a Vanagon, so I am photojournaling this experiment for your edification.įirst obstacle is the nonstandard size of the cylinder at 60mm, since they are made for diesel trucks. Hopefully I won't regret buying this cheap glitzy piece of crap, especially since I will be hacking my cluster to install it. The GlowShift lineup of Combo Gauges offer a high visibility magnification lens dial with two digital readouts and includes 3 sensors, all for $180 shipped. This is a hardtop Vanagon weighing in at a mere 2,720 pounds and no trailer hitch so I didn't think I needed a high performance pyrometer.
GLOW SHIFT DIRECT UPGRADE
Preparing for my turbocharger upgrade I wanted to have a pyrometer (EGT) and boost gauge in place, yet options seemed rather limited for a combo gauge. Posted: Thu 8:53 pm Post subject: GlowShift Combo Gauge in a Vanagon Quick sort: Show newest posts on top | Show oldest posts on top
