Default *Idea* Custom Gauge setup? Who makes a nice speedometer??

So I have been toying with ideas for my gauges whenever I do this turbo thang.... I dont want to stick boost, oil pressure and EGT/AFR in some random gaudy place in the car...

So i was thinking, just make a new cluster, sweet OK, so I dont want cheapodepo gauges, soemthing like DEFI, Pivot, AEM or whatever would suffice. Only problem is.. No one makes speedometers, for whatever reason? (trying to stay away from autometer... unless they are suddenly baller status? lol)

Basically I am looking for a company who makes the following..

Speedometer, Tach, Oil Pressure, Gas, Coolant, AFR (wideband) or EGT, and boost.

Only place I see that makes all these is cyberdyne digital and I would prefer not to. How about the Stack line of analog gauges?

Help me out,

Matt

I ran into this as well looking at building custom gauges for my MKIV- unfortunately I came up blank. Nobody makes a nice looking someone OEM looking speedometer, and a ton of them that do exist come with a really tacky looking odometer.

TopSecret MKIV V12 Supra has the best Defi cluster setup ever. Yum.
Would look crazy sick and clean in an SC cluster I bet.



The Turbo cluster goes to 9k rpm, the NA one goes to 11K rpm.

The Defi Super Sports Cluster (DSSC) is a revolutionary stack cluster based on the new "organic EL" technology. The DSSC is designed for race car use and features 9000-11000 tachometer and built in boost or pressure (for NA cars) gauges. The display also includes digital water temp, oil temp, water pressure, oil pressure, vehicle speed, g-sensor (optional), fuel level indication, EGT, lap timing, and activation for multiple triggers based on coolant temperature, engine rpm, and throttle position. A remote selector switch allows for easy access with gloved hands. On-board data logging is included which uses SD memory cards for data-logging and play back. The system is also fully compatibile with the DEFI Link Display. And while the DSSC is designed as a race device, all the elegance that one comes to expect is still present.







Here's a YouTube video of it attached to the 4-Rotor SCOOT RX-7! O-my.

As well as a little free-rev.

Peripheral ported rotaries sound so good. Scoot does make some nice stuff.

That Defi is sick, but really hard to find and probably no where near how much a bunch of stack analogs will be haha.

Okay I did some research... and oh all the company's that make them "all", Stack is the one for me. I would love to but a stack indash unit, but $1400+ will be really hard to drop all at once, so I am going to get boost/oil pressure/afr or egt for the time being with my turbo setup and eventually, tach/speedo/water/gas for the rest of the gauges
