Triple Gauge Pod And Boost Gauge

[l3igl3ang]

yeah im going to buy one of these off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Trip...ewItemQQcategoryZ33679QQitemZ8063151844QQrdZ1 and im wondering what would be the best 2 to fill in the extra pods? Im going to get a boost gauge for one spot and is there a step by step guide for newbes on how to hook one up if u could post a link that would be great.

Her is a link for installing a boost gauge.

Just connect the vacuum lines as in the diagram, and run the vacuum line through the hole in the firewall into the cabin. Then do with it what you wish, depending on where you're going to mount the gauge. I'd suggest oil pressure and air/fuel for the other 2

about the oil oil pressure and air/fuel are they hard to hook up? cause i was thinking about getting them

My boy has the same. You should hook the vacuum for the boost gauge in a T fitting by the brake reservoir. The air/fuel if that is what you will get is a little tricky and it will not read accurate afr unless a wideband O2 is used. It is like a light show without the wideband. Really the only thing that is a little hard is you probably dont have a hole in the firewall already so you will need to drill. We drilled a decent hole for the vacuum and wires between the left fender and the firewall and ran the lines along the AC. Hopefully I didnt forget anything. I am new so I am learning too. Good luck

wideband O2 im already lost i plan to but the pod and gauges togather i hope it comes with diractions.

Egt.

Fuel Pressure, EGT, Boost, AFR w/ wideband. You can put the vacumm hose through the steering column boot, just poke it with a screw driver and push the hose through. Easy, not drilling needed.

Yes, through the Steering Boot.

and like stated above, if you want a AF guage, buy a honda

Boost - EGT - Oil Psi

From the look of things, he has no need for a wideband 02.

I dont like to use the Poly Hose that comes with the boost guages, I get a thick piece of Vaccum Hose, and stick it right to the back of the guage. but thats just me.

Boost, Fuel pressure, Wideband O2.

Narrowband A/F gauges (the kind you can buy for ~$50) are just a ricey light-show... don't actually tell you much at all.
You could go with an EGT, but if you're running a wideband, you really don't need it. Already have something better telling you what's going on in your exhaust, rather than a twitchy thermometer.

I mostly would go with the fuel pressure as I've had an FPR fail in the past, and would rather know right away if I had a potential fuel feed or leak problem.
From a daily safety standpoint, the oil pressure would probably be better. Both are a bit of a PITA to put in though, unless you shell out for an electric unit.

It is never a good idea to pump Hot oil and Gas inside your car big mess potential to say the least.

electronic guages really arent that much more.

air/fuel gauge is like a cosmic light show for the inside of your car.
