im gonna be installing some aftermarket gauges and i was wondering if i can piggy from the ignition/ground from the stock boost gauge wires in the ss/tc

 

yes....but how many gauges will be added? Im sure too many gauges on one power source can't be good.

 

PLEASE do a how to with pics man. Have not seen one. I have mine but they did it wrong and I'm sending it back to get re-done. I know it's fairly easy but a PITA to get all the trim off and such. I'm sure a few of us would appreciate it man!
Where'd you get your gauges from ?

Thanks

 

I want to get some prosport tinted gauges! what is everyone else doing? and i wouldnt know how to hook them up haha

 

i just want to get a simple A/F gauge. I just want a double pod on my car. nothing too fancy. The A/F gauge is easy. You just have to splice into the purple wire in your wiring harness

 

What guages do we exactly need? i was thinking getting the A/F. and a different boost guage. but i want to keep my guages on my pillar

 

the pink wire is the power wire, it uses the 15a WIPER fuse.

 

EGT, boost, and wideband

 

i guess ill be needing a three guage pillar...

 

you shouldn't be buying gauges if you dont know why you need them. The A Pillar come off with a screw underneath the little part that says AIRBAG. It's not the airbag, it's just a cover for the screw. remove that and the A pillar comes right off. as Maven said, the pink/red wire is the power wire. Splice into that and you're good. SUKXOST, I can't recall where i bought my gauges. I clicked on the link provided by autometer.com to list their vendors and bought from one of them.

 

does anyone sell the beige or tan looking pillars for our cars? Like double and triple pod pillars

 

you can piggy but too many will cause the fuse to blow i reccomend getting just the boost and afr gauge since hpt has a catalyst exhaust temperature already in it if you plan on using them. otherwise yea your good.

no tan pillars that i have seen, must paint them i will have this same problem too.

 

Cobalt Addiction has them

 

umm no dice. It is saying coming soon and has said that for like 2 or 3 months

 

u need to talk to CA on the forums to get them i believe

 

I'm getting the air to fuel and oil pressure gauge in mine. As well at the stock boost gauge

 

i had six on the same lighting fuse and ignition on my talon with no problems. im only putting a water temp and oil pressure on my ss besides the boost. so that shouldnt be a problem. and yes i know i got water temp in the display thing whatever its called. but i want a guage i can see. and im not spending the money for the wideband and such canse i dont need em im not modding my car much just basic stuff. my talon was amoney pit, im not gonna spend everything i have on modding anymore. lol

But ya it shoudnt be to hard to find what wires u need from the boost gauge, get a volt meter and unplug the boost gauge, stick the prob into the the plug ports and see where u constant is when ignision is on, and what one comes on when u turn on lights, and black is usually black so thats all ull need .

it's in Performance>Gauges

 

thanks man.

 

yup i just installed mine today didnt fit quiet right had to mod it a little bit but looks good

 

No prob dude, anytime!

 

While on topic of gauges has anyone thought of installing a wide-band air/fuel ration gauge to tap into the stock wide band on ours cars so whe can monitor the parameters? The first 02 sensor on our TC's are a lambda wide-band A/F ratio sensor

 

Get an Interceptor gauge and you won't need to tap into anything

 

A: I wouldnt recommend just "tapping in" the factory HO2S1, just asking for problems.

2: If you wanna get truly technical, sensor 1 on the LNF isnt a wide-band. Its a narrow band with a pumping cell. Calling it a wideband is a surefire way to **** of an engineer.
True wideband sensors go for around $1000.

 

we're not engineers so its a wideband. lol
