My AliExpress special "Greddi" Gauges

I did something I might regret - bought some Aliexpress gauges listed as "Greddi". Here is how it went...

This video popped up on recommendations, and i love it! The way you go through working on your car is amazing. Love the build too.

[@Fernandosantanajr83]

Nice tutorial, love the gauges btw.

[@nathanleon5039]

Super dope video. Love to see how good these actually look for the price point

[@3dsmackdown]

Awesome video, nicely executed.

[@dsx5036]

It seems like these fake Greddy's and the fake Defi's are exactly the same and only their design changes.

[@Solo_Cheku]

Yes they are the same with different “stickers”.

[@Fine_Performance]

Theyre nothing like the real GREDDY meters 😆. For starters, the GREDDY system is a sirius analog needle guage & Vision lcd acetate digital guage on top, creating the "sirius Unify" guage. These are just adigital guage that looks like a TRUST guage to anyone thats hasnt actually seen the proper thing.

[@dsx5036]

@@Fine_Performance I ended up going for the Defi RS, a gauge that has no fake version, simply because the Greddy looks super modern and would look kinda out of place in my car (Zzw30). Maybe one day I'll get one of these Greddy ones for a different car. The holographic look is super cool.

[@Fine_Performance]

@@dsx5036 the real GREDDY ones are sick. I hate Chinese shit. It makes the real stuff more expensive.

First good review about this gauges👍 , do you have some blog about this gauges? There is no info about them. So many questions...

[@Solo_Cheku]

I don’t have a blog but I will answer your questions if you post it here. Thanks.

[@charliechen2024]

very good video,brings joy for car people. I had one of this but I lost the handbook of it,having problem to set it up.if you can sent me a pic of the hankbook that will be a great help.😊 thanks

[@Solo_Cheku]

The manual for the gauges? I’ll find it later and post it somewhere.

[@jadmjt14]

The important question is are they accurate? They look good and im broke. subbing.

[@Solo_Cheku]

Temperature wise I think they are close to my hks mechanical gauge readings. Pressure wise I think it is a bit higher. It’s all about the sensors. If you really want you can use your own brand sensors with these gauges. Just connect the 2 wires.

[@2Drezik]

honestly these look amazing, even more when you see the 3 pack costs less than the price of 1 aem gauge, for sure the aem and such are the real deal but the prices are way too crazy imho. whats the default color when starting the car tho ?

[@Solo_Cheku]

Yeah the cost makes a big difference. I’ll see how long they last. This year is the second season.

[@2Drezik]

@@Solo_Cheku Hey, can you confirm it's 1/8 BSPT female to 1/8 NPT male you had to use ? So i guess 2 x for 2 sensors on the sandwich plate ? 🙏

[@Solo_Cheku]

@@2Drezik I ordered three sensors: two temperature sensors (one for oil, one for water) and one pressure sensor (for oil). The two temperature sensors were fine since they had 1/8 BSPT threads; they went into the radiator and oil sandwich plate directly. The pressure sensor was 1/8 NPT and the issues I needed to solve were: 1. NPT male on the sensor to BSPT female on the oil sandwich plate. 2. There wasn't enough space between the oil sandwich plate and the alternator for the sensor (with the straight adaptor it was way too long) to be installed. So in the end I just used a 90 degrees NPT to BSPT adaptor. To illustrate: Original Orientation: Alternator Old Small sensor -----> Oil Plate So, I used a 90 degrees elbow fitting to change the orientation of the sensor: Alternator 90 elbow NPT to BSPT Adaptor-------| Oil plate | S e n s o r This gave me enough room to install the new, bigger pressure sensor. To sum up. 1. Use a calliper to find out the thread type. These sensors are generic, so they might differ when you order them. 2. Use the necessary adaptor to connect the sensors to the ports correctly. 3. Use angled fitting (adaptor) to change orientation in case of limited space for the bigger modern sensors on old engines or engine bays.

[@Solo_Cheku]

There is blue, yellow, red, purple, green, pink and white? I can't remember. But yeah, many color to choose from.

[@iancrosson9513]

How do you set the gauges to show different gauges in daisy chain. All mine show the same, like Water temp on all three. But I want what you have water temp, oil temp, oil pressure. When I go to set and then press the down & up it controls all three at same time. Any help I would love :) You figured it out it seems!

[@Solo_Cheku]

You need to connect one to the first port at a time. Set it up with controller. Then unplug, do the next one. Once you set up all the gauges one by one then daisy chain them. Instruction shows how.

[@Noah-ty6of]

Do u have product link to these gauges ?

[@Solo_Cheku]

I don't. You can just go to aliexpress, search for car gauge, sort by order number (completed purchases), and find the one with reasonable price. TBH I think they are all the same, only difference is some vendors have combos.

[@user-ew2pl2gt4r]

Did it come with the control box for the gauges I've been thinking about ordering them myself but have been very skeptical about the site/app. Some are posted for like 7-13 to 30 bucks a d plus but I want the whole package gauges a d control box and how long did it take in the mail?

[@Solo_Cheku]

I ordered them separately. But from the same listing. I think they are all from the same manufacturer. It took about a month to arrive from China.

[@user-td7ss4vb9d]

Can you send me link to this item

[@Evgeny-38th]

привет , хороший обзор , спасибо за видео , как ведут себя приборы спустя столько времени , сильно отличаются показания от реальных ?

[@Solo_Cheku]

They are still working fine without issue. I don't have an effective way to compare these with the authentic gauges, since I don't have the authentic ones. But they are not too far off based on my experience with the car. If your car has OBD2 the unit reads off your ECU so there will be no difference. My car's stock ECU doesn't have an OBD2 port so they read off the sensors as shown. So it's more about the sensors than the gauges I think.

[@Evgeny-38th]

@@Solo_Cheku это отлично ! к сожалению у меня нет возможности купить оригинальные приборы , весь день искал информацию по всем китайским репликам , заказал себе DEFI Advance ZD 9 in1 (china) по цене пополам дешевле чем gredyy вышло

[@Solo_Cheku]

@@Evgeny-38th I have seen the same vendor selling the 9 in 1 Defi gauge. it looks good and they work as intended for sure. Despite the "brand" name difference, they all seem to be the same core components. Honestly, the replicas quality are pretty decent for the price.

[@carloslicona8713]

Is the control box necesary? Interested on budget the boost gauge just for aesthetic touch on the interior

[@Solo_Cheku]

Yes it is. The gauges won’t display anything unless connected to the control unit.

[@AHMED-32v]

How to control the colors and all if you just get an afr gauge

[@Solo_Cheku]

Use the control unit to set colours and display type. The AFR has to be connected to the control unit, so from the AFR sensor to the control unit, then to the gauge. The gauges are multipurpose, and you can set what they display through the control unit. If you have OBD2, the control unit can be connected to the OBD2 port and grabs data from your ecu and sensors.

[@nickguerrero7787]

@@Solo_Cheku so if you buy multiple can you connect to OBDII and not install new sensors under the hood? Looking to put some into 2020 civic SI.

[@Solo_Cheku]

@@nickguerrero7787 yes. No sensor needed if you connect to obd2 is what I was told. It reads off the stock sensors directly. The control unit has an obd2 port.

[@rafaelbaggiosecches1299]

can you just use obd2 data?

[@Solo_Cheku]

I think so according to their ads. Just purchase an obd2 cable to connect the control unit to ecu. Direct plug n play.

[@den3501]

Помогите с настройкой этих приборов

[@Solo_Cheku]

Okay. I will try to make another vid about setting it up later. But the English manual that came with the kit explained it pretty well. I will see if I can find that manual. Just moved, still unpacking lol.
