RiXeffects boost gauge production UPDATE

RiXst3r · 09-25-2008, 07:59 AM

UPDATE: IN STOCK AND SHIPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.rixeffects.com/p3/ventgauge

This has been quite an adventure for me... its been over 6 months since I first started development... but the last 6 weeks have been the most exciting

.... Dealing with delays on custom parts coming from china during the olympics, having hurricanes knock out my power for almost a week, and custom building and mass producing a TOTALLY CUSTOM boost gauge solution for our cars... Very Fun!

AND NOW... The Final units are HERE and ready to ship out to my 4 beta testers!! (you know who you are). Once I get enough feedback from them to finish the install video and documentation, then I will ship out the units to everyone!

So here is the current status... PATENT PENDING!!

Black Circuit Boards........ CHECK
Custom Matched LED's....... CHECK
CNC milled peices........... CHECK
Molded Eurothane Foam.... CHECK
Laser Cut front face........ CHECK
Cutom Firmware features.... CHECK
Custom dimmer circuit..... CHECK
Plug and Play Power Harness.... CHECK
Custom OEM Sourced Tubing.... CHECK
Extremely Accurate Boost Sensors... CHECK
On Screen Piggyback Map Switch.... CHECK
Installation Video....... DONE
Installation Manuals...... DONE
Customer Testing......... DONE

NOW SHIPPING!!!!!!!

And now, some fun photos for everyone to see....

The first image shows the boost tubing kit, using OEM vacuum line and T's, purchased from Tischer BMW, and then cut and assembled into kits by RiXeffects, and our cool new heat sealer toy

Second photo shows the Plug and Play power harness. This is a FIRST of its kind... This can be used as a UNIVERSAL plug and play "hardwire" adapter, to hardware any 12v devices you might have in the car without any splicing. It has a "Y" adapter that plugs inline using OEM plugs into the little white plugs under the ashtray area, allowing access to switched 12v, Ground, and interior lighting circuit. OEM parts for this cost me well over 25 dollars, just in parts, not counting labor!

Third and on photos are some images of the production units, and testing.

Enjoy!

Ohya, almost forgot... I do have a few units left in the first production batch still too, so contact me if you wish to pre-order.

BES335xi · 09-25-2008, 08:37 AM

Damn that thing is SICK...if you can get the MAP SWITCHER to work for the mostly commonly used tunes such as jb3 and procede that would be a Plus.
keep on the good work, lo0k seeing the Final results.
