Glanza_cl Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 boost gauge is easy, under the bonnet you have your vacuum line running to the bov carefully cut that in half- with the boost gauge you should get new vacuum line and a T piece, put the T piece in the line and connect it all together, the new vac line you received will run into the cabin, there is a rubber bung in the fire wall (i used this to run the vac line in) once you have got the line in(this was one of the trickiest parts) just connect that to the back and you should have a complete vacuum pressure- the gauge will read a - something until you actually accelerate and wont pass 0 until you hit boost.you will also probably have a back light on the boost gauge just connect up the live to one of the lights (mine went to the fog, as it was closest) and the other should be a earth just connect that to a individual bolt connect to the frame or i found a earth which ran to another earth so used that ;) hope that kinda helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 It certainy won't take a week! Boost as above, afr assuming its just a narrowband will just have a positive and negative wire and one which takes the afr reading the ecu see's, so you just need to splice this into the correct wire to the ecu. For the water temp gauge you'll need an adaptor which goes in the top radiator hose for the sensor to screw into, then its just the other power wires again.Also with the pillar pod, I'd get some strong mounting tape, I've got "foam mounting tape" from B&Q as the pillar doesn't have the same clips as the standard one so needs stuck down at the top.

BenV Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 nah i didnt think it would take a week but i hte doing things half arsed and like to get it rite. any chance you could point me in the direction of the water temp adaptor please. at the moment i havent bought the afr gauge but it says somthing about not coming with an oxygen sensor?

BenV Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 ok i found the water adaptor any idea what size im going 2 need?28ml all the way to 42ml? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Just go out and measure the diameter of your top rad hose and get the one that is the same or slightly smaller.;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Just go out and measure the diameter of your top rad hose and get the one that is the same or slightly smaller. ;)do i need the inside of the pipe or the outside?outside = 36inside = 28 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Inside.;) You'll also need a couple of hose clamps the same size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 cool, cheers for the help bud. il get some jubilee clips to. i cant wait to get them all fitted now ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Air/fuel ratio probe should be at least 2foot away from turbo exhaust dont forget.Also try to mount it in a position that wont allow moisture to settle on it over night inside the pipe.IE angled slightly on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom nearest the road.Drill a hole in either youre downpipe or exhaust section, get a welder to weld the bung in and screw the probe in.Hook up the gauge to sidelight illumination if needed, earth and acc live, feed the probe wires through the gromet in the firewall and bang em into the gauge.What afr gauge did you buy bud? Hope its a wideband and not a el cheapo narrowband piece of useless shite Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 auto gauge arf, i think its a wideband one il check later cheers fella Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I doubt the autogauge will be wideband. Also you said it doesnt come with the sensor so it will be narrowband. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 poo! is that a bad thing?there only tempory untill i can afford a decent set Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Not really it gives a rough indication of the fuelling, I had one in my car, just don't expect to be able to set the car's fuelling up using it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 nah just want a brief idea of whats going on. will it still need to be set up the same as mentioned above? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Nope, will just be a single wire that splices into the wire from the original o2 sensor, easiest at the ecu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
