Prosport 52mm BF Series Performance Gauge Range - Blue/White

Prosport Performance Gauges consist of two important elements: the latest trend in Asia and hottest design in USA. Great importance is attached to the experience of users and the quality of the product, from the design of the dial and the shell to the internal movement, etc., which are details that cannot be ignored.

The BF Series gauge range offers a classic face design with reliable performance at an affordable price. All gauges feature a dual colour backlight and can be changed between White and Blue during installation. With the exception of the mechanical boost gauge, all gauges in the BF Series range feature a digital stepper motor to drive the gauge movement and and include an external electric sensor where necessary.

Digital Stepper Motor Movement (all gauges excluding mechanical boost gauge)

Stepper motor movement represents the pinnacle of single gauge technology and provides the highest level of accuracy, precision, responsiveness and durability. Each instrument is controlled by a microprocessor printed internally on the circuit board, which allows incredibly fast calculations and many other particular functions not seen in other instrument types. These gauges send units for the ultimate in accuracy by utilizing laboratory grade, no more than +/- 1%. To further increase accuracy, every time the gauge is powered up it will zero calibrate to assure that it will always remain as accurate as it was the day it was made.

Prosport use two different digital stepper motors; Swiss-made stepper movements offer a more affordable yet precise option while the Japanese-made stepper movements are faster and noiseless. BF series gauge utilise the Swiss stepper motor.

All pressure and temperature gauges include an electric sensor so you do not need to run air or fluid hoses into the cabin directly to the gauge. Other gauges (AFR and Volt) are wired directly to existing vehicle wiring.

Mechanical Motor Movement (mechanical boost gauge only)

These gauges are the most cost effective option and offer a direct connection via a tube to the engine. When the air expands inside the tube the bourdon inside the gauge also expands or contracts driving the gear train, which then turns the pointer. An advantage to mechanical gauges is they can be utilized without being connected to the car’s electrical system. This is great for a race car, as when the car is shut off in the pits, the gauge will still display the current value.

To sum up, the mechanical instrument has the following advantages. Great accuracy, a full dial-sweep, always on and has a direct physical connection to an engine. Some people believe that electrical gauges are better because the fluid-filled lines of a mechanical gauge can be ruptured.

Opening Ceremony

Each BF Series gauge performs an opening ceremony when powered on. During this ceremony the needle will sweep to each limit and self calibrate. See below for a video of this in action:

Dual Colour

Prosport BF Series gauges are able to be changed between two colours during installation by using a specific wire for power. Alternatively, the headlight switching wire normally used to dim the display brightness can instead be used to change the colour. For more information see wiring details below.

Smoked Lens

All BF Series gauges feature a smoked lens which appears almost completely black when the gauge is powered off. Once powered on the display is completely visible.

Included Accessories

Each BF Series Gauge includes the following:

• 1 x Gauge
• 1 x Visor
• 1 x Mounting Bracket (with hardware)
• 1 x Sensor Unit (where applicable)

_{*Additional accessories may be included for each particular gauge model. See details below}

Gauge Lineup

216BFWBBOSM - Boost Gauge (Mechanical)

• -30inHg to +30psi display range.
• Mechanical gauge, hose plumbs directly into vacuum source from gauge.
• Includes hose and tee piece for installation.
• Requires existing manifold pressure/vacuum source. Newer vehicles may require a "boost tap" to create a pressure/vacuum source.

216BFWBEBOSM - Boost Gauge (Electrical)

• -30inHg to +30psi display range.
• Electrical gauge, includes external MAP sensor which can be mounted in engine bay.
• 4mm hose barb fitting on sensor.
• Includes hose, tee piece and inline filter for installation.
• Requires existing manifold pressure/vacuum source. Newer vehicles may require a "boost tap" (sold separately) to create a pressure/vacuum source.

216BFWBOPSM - Oil Pressure Gauge (Electrical)

• 0-100psi display range.
• Electrical gauge, Includes external pressure sensor.
• Sensor thread: 1/8" NPT
• May require adaptor for oil pressure sensor (sold separately).
• For accuracy it is recommended not to mount sensor directly to engine. Use remote sensor kit (sold separately).

216BFWBFPSM - Fuel Pressure Gauge (Electrical)

• 0-100psi display range.
• Electrical gauge, Includes external pressure sensor.
• Sensor thread: 1/8" NPT
• May require adaptor for fuel pressure sensor (sold separately).
• For accuracy it is recommended not to mount sensor directly to engine. Use remote sensor kit (sold separately).

216BFWBWTSM - Water Temperature Gauge (Electrical)

• 40-150?C display range.
• Electrical gauge, Includes external temperature sensor.
• Sensor thread: 1/8" NPT
• May require adpator for water temperature sensor (sold separately).

216BFWBOTSM - Oil Temperature Gauge (Electrical)

• 40-150?C display range.
• Electrical gauge, Includes external temperature sensor.
• Sensor thread: 1/8" NPT
• May require adpator for oil temperature sensor (sold separately).

216BFWBEGTSM - Exhaust Gas Temperature EGT Gauge (Electrical)

• 0-1300?C display range (as 13 x 100?C units).
• Electrical gauge, Includes external K type temperature probe.
• Sensor thread: 1/8" NPT
• May require weld on bung for temperature sensor (sold separately).

216BFWBAFRSM - Narrow Band Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge

• Lean/Optimal/Rich display range
• Narrow band only. This Gauge is most useful to alert the driver to a lean condition under wide-open throttle when the computer adjustments are in a loop and no longer quickly changing.
• Electrical gauge, no sensors required. Wires directly into existing O2 sensor wiring.

216BFWBVOSM - Electrical Volt Gauge

• 8-18V display range.
• Electrical gauge, no sensors required.
• Easiest gauge to install.

Wiring

Each gauge includes a universal, non-terminated wiring harness which requires professional installation, however products such as fuse taps (sold separately) can be utilised to simplify installation. In-line fuses (sold separately) are recommended to protect gauges from power spikes.

Some Prosport Gauges allow for auto dimming when wired to a headlight switching wire (see table below for dimmable models). Alternatively, if gauge supports colour changing functionality via wiring harness this can be incorporated so that turning on the vehicle headlights will change the gauge colour. See table below for wiring details:
