More Information, Cool Graphics, and Easy Hookup with New Vintage USA's GENII Gauge Kits
It’s not every day that a gauge maker completely revamps its products. New Vintage USA has updated many of their popular gauge kits to the new GENII platform that gives you more information, easy hookup, and improved graphics without using separate driver boxes, adapters, or modules. Let’s look at some features, shall we?
Direct Drive System
New Vintage USA’s Direct Drive system makes creating a wiring harness a lot easier. Kits with an electronic speedometer and tachometer have built-in drivers for all of the gauges in a kit. Wiring is literally as simple as 1-2-3:
Step 1: Connect power, ground, lights and all senders to the speedometer and tach
Step 2: Plug the color-code AMP connectors into the speedometer and tach
Step 3: Plug the harnesses from the other gauges into the appropriate ports on the driver boards located on the back of the speedometer and tach
This New Vintage USA Direct Drive video shows how easy it is to wire gauges with the Direct Drive system.
Phoenix System
GENII electronic speedometers and tachometers have New Vintage’s Phoenix system that displays several functions in an OLED display about the size of a traditional odometer window. You can add three additional inputs for other functions like transmission temperature, fuel pressure, and boost—just plug the sender into the appropriate port on the driver board and select the function to show in the display. Summit Racing carries New Vintage sender harnesses for several functions.
This New Vintage USA Phoenix video explains how the Phoenix system works.
Other features of the GENII gauges include:
• New stepper motor movements for accurate readings
• New cases, bezels, and pointers give a fresh look to your favorite gauge styles
• Six-gauge kits have indicators built into the speedometer and tachometer
• Temperature ranges and operating points are more centered in the needle sweep for easier viewing
• Temperature ranges are updated for today's engines that run hotter
• All new features and updates added by New Vintage are reverse-compatible so your GENII gauges won’t be obsoleted
