Post by **White Comet** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 1:59 am

sounds good, i shaved my rear squirter and antennae. what are u doing for the third brake light though? i am thinking about shaving mine btu in PA it wouldnt pass inspection and i could get pulled over fro it, so im thinking of an led brake light mounted inside the glass

That woul be really sick and clean looking, Thats giveing me ideas.

Post by **White Comet** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 3:17 am

why wouldnt it pass inspection.? you still have your other brke lights. it will look nice with that stuff shaved.

gauges will be here today forsure. and i will install the ones i can.

if ur car came factory equipped w/ 3 brake lights u gotta have all of them. even if i pass inspection i'd probably get pulled over and hassled for it. its not worth it wne i can just shave it and do an led 3rd brake light inside the glass

Post by **duffman1278** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 7:15 am

Awsome, where do you plan to mount the gauges??? A/C vent or on the pillar?

Good xmas gifts btw, makes me jealous

YEA around here the cops dont care, since most of the cars running around are mising taillights and head lights and crap lol.

the brake light inside the glass would be kidna cool. but my tint will be to dark to to realy be able to see it most likely.

well i havea triple radio din gague cluster, and i hada double piller mount to.i only have four gauges coming right now. i think i will put my boost gague, and then when i get my A/F r gague it will be i nthe piller too. the otehr gauges will be oil pressure, oil temp, and exhaust temp.

how dark of a tint are u doing? im gonna do an led 3rd brake light and if that cant shine through ur tint then it must be black spray paint

mount the a/f gauge farthest away from u. trust me i had it on the a pillar when i bough the car, the lights get really annoying especially at night. put it farthest away from u and u can still see the lights out of ur peripheral vision, thats what i did and it works fine

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 9:43 am

douple quoting FTL

haha. yea i just dont feel like dealing with a 3rd brake light when it doesnt matter. i am going as dark as i can for my window tint.

good idea about the lights. so i suppsoe i will put the exhaust temp up by the boost gauge.

Post by **White Comet** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 10:00 am

i dont have all the gauges yet but im going boost and water temp on the a pillar and then oil pressure, exhaust temp and a/f ratio in teh vent area in that order

Post by **duffman1278** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 10:08 am

Do you guys know what wire I can use to extend my O2 sensor plug so I can plug it into my harness?, I don't have a spare O2 sensor to splice it. Could I just use another kind of wire?

Post by **White Comet** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 10:11 am

just make sure its protected form the heat and u should be fine

Post by **duffman1278** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 10:12 am

Yea I can go buy insulators but what kind of wire would I need?

why would you get a water temp gauge when you have one stock.

i ma jsut going to find some wire the same thickness and solder it in to lengthen mine.

Post by **duffman1278** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 10:42 am

I guess I'll do that than

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 10:48 am

yep i need to do it too. but the mai nthing i want to do right now is get my motor in my car.

All that dinky thing does is read fine, warming up, fvcked...

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 2:58 pm

well it doent show acutualy operating temp. but it will show you when it is startign to run hot. s o i dicided to cover areas that wernt covered al lready. as far as gauges go.

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 5:31 pm

well i opened my gauges up and i need to get some 18 gauge wire to instal my oil pressure gague, and i need soem for oil temp.

now the oild temperature wis the most confusing one of them all to install.it says something about installing it i nthe oil pan. or such. i will figure it out some how.

and the pyrometer was confusing becasue i am not sure where exactly to mount the sensor. i am thinking in the turbo extenson housing. they say you can mount it before the turbo or after. wit ha tubular manifold it is kinda hard to put it before the turbo. so i think i will have the bung welded on near the stock o2 sensor location.

does any one know what size of bung i need to weld on to my down pipe for the AEM wideband o2 sensor?

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 6:33 pm

well here are some pics of my gauges and stuff.

the boxgauges all laid out.my cat Buster checking out the new stuff. he has been following this build closelypyrometeroil pressureoil tempboost/ vac gaugepiller mountmy cat allways like being in the middle of everythingthisis how my boost gauge and pyromter will go in

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 7:39 pm

cant wait to get these babys in, but i probably wont wire the mup completely until i get my motor in.

Post by **duffman1278** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 9:22 pm

Niice! whats a pyrometer btw???

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 9:30 pm

it is an exhasut temperature gauge. my engine ering friends said it was a really important gauge. because as soon as the motor heats up you will see it on the gauge.

yeah but the factory gauge is so inaccurate its useless. it wont tell u ur overheating til its too late. theres three readings on it; cold, operating temp, and long gone

Post by **idahotuner** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 6:50 am

that is true. but i chose the gauges that i thought were the most important. i still need my air/fuel ratio gauge from AEM

does any one know the size of bung you have to put on your down pipe

Post by **White Comet** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 6:54 am

so ur going to have 5 gauges total? what gauges did u get again?

Post by **idahotuner** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 9:07 am

yep 5 gauges total

oil pressureoil temp exhuast tempboost/vacwideband a/f r

Post by **White Comet** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 11:41 am

i would have gotten water temp instead of oil temp. if u have water temp and exhaust temp, ur pretty much going to be covered for temp monitoring

I agree for a car not seeing track abuse.

Factory gauge sucks.

Check out Touge Factory's Special on Zilvia for a very silick water temp sender adapter...
