yep give us a shoot when your ready.

cheers.
it will probably be oil temp/ water temp and air/fuel guage as my car is a non-turbo so no boost guage needed.

air fuels the one im having trouble with wired it up as i thought but doesnt work, some recommend an 02 sensor on its own not tapping into the original, still looking into it will keep you posted.

will do.
did you use the existing clock wiring in the centre of the dash to get the live/ ground/ lights on and off connections???

lights yes, earth yes, power no otherwise allways on.

why dont you do oil pressure, oil temp, AFR.

wonder if a boost gauge would work to a degree all be it showing low boost, as the manifold still creates pressure, i have a spare boost guage have to try it.

imprezajon 24 May 2010 10:21 PM

let me know regards to the boost option, if it works i will go boost gauge instead of the water temp.
did you use a sandwhich plate for the oil temp and pressure??? or mount it somewhere else.
i fancied 3 different types of gauge readings but i know the oil temp/ pressure is the easiest to fit as they use the same connector.
i am still waiting for the 3 gauge pod to be delivered which will probaly not be till the end of june so have got time to have a read up and decide which ones to go for.

lots cheaper and easier than sandwich plate, well it should be, only picked it up tonight.

how come so long with pods?

you coming to the sunday meet ?.

imprezajon 25 May 2010 07:18 AM

have ordered from a company called glowshift in america. they are doing a crazy special at the moment. £33.99 for the pod with free international shipping. plus it is paintable so i plan to either do it as close to the dash colour as possible or try and get a match for the silver that trims the stereo and heater surrounds.
not coming sunday as its my daughters birthday party otherwise i would as its only down the road from were i live.

how did you get on fitting your gauges???? any pics ???? did you get chance to test the boost gauge with the manifold???
