Default New ACT Gauges

Finally!

These are available in red, blue and green (I haven't got any pictures of the red ones yet), but due to the new thermocouple required are a LOT more expensive that the old style ones.

We will be continuing the old one, but they won't be available until the new year.

We have already done a four sensor application for a customer, which uses a rotary knob and a four colour LED (to indicate which sensor is being displayed), as someone wanted to monitor pre/post intercooler temps, along with oil and water temps.

Luke,
There's not enough margin to give a special PF price .

I'm going to have one fitted that will cycle through three temps every couple of seconds (with a 3-colour LED displaying which sensor temp is being displayed), and have sensors fitted in the diffs and gearbox .

Looks like a good bit of kit.
What temps can this go up to? Your old type was 70c max.
This reminds me I need to send you my ACT gauge as the backlight broke.

It can measure, pre-intercooler temps, post intercooler temps, oil temps (engine / transmission), water temps (engine / chargecooler), air temps and with a suitable thermocouple, even EGTs .

If you stuck the probe up your arse, it could even measure your body temp .

or under the tongue for when you have a cold


or in Lukes case, to check the bath water temp before he gets in, he hates getting cold toes!
