I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a dash mounted pod similar to the ones CP-E makes for the evo x


Anyone know of anything like it?

NOT THE CENTER DASH PODS! Those are just hard to see...
I'd never be able to see over that lol. I'm only 5'8"

here's the camp on an oem screen, obviously on the evo youd need to buy a screen










thing is, the HKS CAMP 2 seems a bit too expensive. I think it's 2200 for the kit basic, and then you need to buy a few extra sensors....

what do you guys think?

I like the idea of having all the readouts in one spot, as much as I love analog gauges, i dont really want to clutter up the interior with too many gauges......
I have the camp2 in my Z. it is a nice setup. pretty functional and customizable. in the evo I put in Defi's in the gruppe-s center console and the 3 gauge glove box setup.

If you put in a screen, the camp is nice and gives you everything you want in a compact package. If you run Fcon, there is basically nothing you need to buy in addition to get the readouts. I have it in my Z and the only sensor I needed was the wideband -> which I had previously bought for the ems. I know you can tap into the oem ems via a obdII wire and get readouts from the stock sensors.

I don't remember what I paid, but I don't think it was 2200. I am thinking like 500-700??? but really don't remember. I could be 2200 if you bought all the sensors.

I'd never use anything other than my gruppe-s 52mm triple gauge pod. Its a convienient location and keeps it looking clean and almost as if the car was supposed to come with the guages there.

Greddy 3 bar, nice! I had a black faced one in my supra about 7 yrs ago and was told they only made one of each color. Someone wanted it so bad that they gave me $500 for it .

As far as the gauge location goes, I pondered this for a while until I settled on the rexspeed 52mm triple dash pod over the one that relocated the radio, even though that one is cleaner looking imo. Just easier to look at them on the dash for me.

i like the ati one, except i wish they offered a single pod on the left side since i only have a boost gauge in the car. everything else looks really junky like what suicidevo posted and a few of the others

I don't have any pics but I prefer my setup to be simple and not attract attention. I have a Zeitronix ZR-2 multi gauge stuck with double side tape just under the right hand corner of the OE gauge cluster just in front of and above the windshield wiper lever. Sounds like I cheaped out on not using a pod or something else to hold it but the fact of the matter is the gauge is so thin and light it just works and you can't even see the tape. Just looks as if it's floating on the dash. You could fit two there if you really wanted to monitor more than two things at once.
