Standalone Water/Oil temp and oil pressure gauge for 997 and 987

from $245.00

I got many inquiries from folks who don’t have SportChrono in their 9x7, asking if they can install the gauge too.
Here is a product which makes the functionality of the SportChrono gauge available as a “standalone” product.

You can call it “the SportChrono gauge for cars that don’t have SportChrono”.

It has the same features as the “SportChrono gauge” (except for the clock) and will display:

  • Water temp (Fahrenheit/Celsius)

  • Oil temp (Fahrenheit/Celsius)

  • Oil pressure (for the 987.1 a modification on the car is needed, either read the instructions here and/or refer to this video, start at 8:19 in the video)

  • Voltage display (add on extra)

  • PDK temperature (for PDK cars only)

  • acceleration time (0-40 & 0-60 mph) or (0-50 & 0-100 km/h)

  • Boost pressure

  • Intelligent shift lights: the RPM thresholds are changed based on oil temperature

The instruments in the 9x7 cluster are analog, meaning they translate electrical signals via mechanical contraptions to a value displayed by the needles, and hence they are never fully accurate. In my device all readings are read digitally from the car’s CANbus and are 100% accurate.

You can switch between the screens via a supplied push-button.

The following models are supported:

  • 997.2 Base

  • 997.2 S / 4S

  • 997.2 GTS

  • 997.1 Base

  • 997.1 S / 4S

  • 997.2 / 997.1 TT

  • 987.2 (all models)

  • 987.1 (all models). For oil pressure display on the 987.1 a modification on the car is needed, either read the instructions here and/or refer to this video, start at 8:19 in the video.

You can find the installation manual either in the Documentation section of this site or by clicking here

Here is a very good video on how to install the gauge.

If you forward to 8:19 in the video, you see what is needed to do to get oil pressure display on a 987.1.

You need to choose between one of these three types of gauges (see pictures)

  • The “Standard Gauge”. It is in a round case with a diameter of 55 mm. This can get mounted either on the windshield or onto the vents on top of the dashboard. In addition we are also including a smaller housing that can get mounted in front of the instrument cluster on top of the steering column.
    For this version you will receive two different pods and two different mounts. This will provide you with several different options to mount the gauge:

    • via a supplied stand (the gauge can be rotated freely 360 degrees)

    • via a mount that slides onto the upper fresh air vent

    • via a pod that sits in front of the tachometer

    All 3 mounts are included.

  • The “Mini Gauge”. With dimensions of 42×25×13 mm it is significantly smaller than the Standard Gauge. It is meant to be mounted on top of the steering column in front of the instrument cluster. But due to it’s small size it can also be mounted on other locations.

  • The “Large Gauge”: This is a rectangular display with a 2.8” screen. It can only be mounted on the vent next to the A-pillar. As an addition to the normal screens, this gauge displays all other measurements in a side panel on the right.
