Nytro Gauge Replacement

[Mtnviper]

Two for the Vector gage, love that nice big tach!!
I was able to take it out,and really see where my clutching/rpms were at. 9200 on the bottom with it dropping to 8600 on the top end. Pretty much the opposite of what you want.
So I moved a couple grams from the tip to the heel, and it's just about dead on now! Really woke the sled up

Q??

I'd like to do this, but there are two gauges.. on gauge is for the 2009 vector and is Part # starting 8GM and the other one is for the 2009 venture and 2010's (venture + vector) part nmber starting 8HF. Will both work I'd like to get the 8GM as it is much cheaper here in Canada. but i am concerned it will be diferent..

What was the part number you used??

The gauge you are looking for is used on the FUEL INJECTED Vector.......8HF. Part number is listed earlier in this thread. Go back and read the whole thread. I think it's on Page 1.

Hey thx, yah I saw that but was wondering if the other gauge works, I guess you answered it as the other one is for the non injected, thx..

I was thinking of sticking with the stock nytro gauges and just installing a TX-1 tach from EGT has anyone elso done this.

anyone know if a apex guage will work?

I was talking to a member of the site that used the Apex gauge. He lost power. do not use the apex gauge

Just read the whole post as it explains issues.

I did it is fuel injected i can not see a guage being able to know how many cyclinders a sled has the vector and venture guage look very simmilar to the apex guage.

Yes good point and I took the for granted.

If the sled runs slower with apex gauge, then how does it run with no gauge, answer that one????

 

[Mtnviper]

I believe the reason the Apex guage dosen't read the correct rpms, is because the sweep range is different. 12,000 rpm tach compared to a 10,000 rpm tach, with the same size tach face.
Or at least that my theory!

 

[bottlerocket]

I think its the number of cylinders. Remember the old Sun tachs with the switch on the back for the number of cylinders. Oh s**t Im dating myself.

I just learned something new about the Vector gauge this weekend. The gauge has a oil change reminder built in to it. It comes on at 500 miles, and every 2500 miles after it has been re-set. Kinda cool
Here is a link to a thread in the RS section on how to re-set it. http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=88584

It could be in a "limp" or "saftey" mode like when you have a error code on the gauge
