Zeitronix or gauges


I'm looking at getting the zeitronix zt-2 setup should I get that over 2 aem gauges or and a pod and how difficult is it to set up all the features on the zt-2 vs the simplicity of installing aem gauges

I have this setup. Very clean and responsive, mounted right on my steering column. Cons display can feel small sometimes.

Another good gauge you could look into is Innovate brand.

I have oil temp, psi and water temp as regular gauges and boost/aft through a zt-2 and dashdaq set up and love it. In the near future I'll be moving my oil temp and psi over to the DD also so I can log them as well

I have this setup too, how do you have it mounted to your steering column? All I've been able to tell is folks have used velcro to do it.

Bumping this. I like the clean look of the Zeitronix and am thinking about making the switch from my current setup of AEM center dash gauges.

Matt, how hard was this install? Any problems with logging?

I have the ZT-2 as well, installed by the previous owner. Love it, I think it looks cleaner than having a bunch of gauge pods everywhere.

Logging-wise, you can log either through Zeitronix's software, or log it through evoscan along with your tactrix cable data.

I have the Zeitronix ZT-2 with LCD screen. I currently have oil pressure, wideband AFR, water temp, inlet air temp, and EGT.

I did not get the boost sensor because I prefer using a mechanical boost gauge.

Overall I prefer this setup because it offers more possibilities than other gauges.

Zeitronix also has gauges it plugs into as well.
Just FYI if you didn't know.

I have the Gruppe-S gauge cluster with AEM gauges and they work great. Not super expensive either.

This is what I use. I prefer the gauge look over the screen look.
