Dual Gauge Pod Installed!!

[LinuxRacr]

Well I installed my Dual Gauge Pod yesterday with an Air/Fuel gauge, and an inactive Fuel Pressure gauge. I will try to post pics today if possible. It is a crude install because I left the Pod black, and had to mold it to the A-pillar with a heat gun, but it is functional.

what gauge pod did you use? some one else used a civic model. is that what yours is?

thanks

What kind of A/F ratio guage did you get and how hard was it to be installed???

Where in the hell did you get the dual gauge pod?


I need one too, I do not want the triple because I am putting a tach there.

You need to call me so we can meet up, I'd like to see it.

Ok folks,

Here are the pictures:

Gauge Pictures

I went to Alamo Autosports, and had them drill the holes for me, and I had already molde the dual pod from a 96 + Civic with a heat gun at Synthetic Designs. The Fuel Pressure is just sitting there for now until I get the hose kit. I installed the Air/Fuel meter myself. No check engine light! Just TAP into the Blue, and Pink Wire on the Harness going to the 1st O2 sensor. For the Power, follow the instructions. Find a 12v Accessory positive for the red wire, so that the gauge stays off until you start the car, and find a good ground for the black wire. The Purple Wire is the wire going to the Harness for the 1st O2 sensor. You will have to legthen this wire via butt connector, and run it through the firewall.

Jag,

I will call you in about 5 minutes. Take care all. Questions, I will be happy to answer as time allows.

I've got a dual gauge pod on my '00 ES also. Any dual pod will work with mods...you will see in his post he had to modify his. I used a dual pod for a Miata for mine and just heated it up and formed it to my pillar and secured it wil rivets.

Hey linux,

I was not at home all day and when I got your message I realized that it was you who paged. Anyways I am going to work tonight and I will be back in the morning. I will sleep till noon, after that I have no plans. Maybee we can meet up and take some pics of our cars.

warning LinuxRacr

just a heads up....I really hope that is a electric fuel pressure gauge with an electric sender unit....cause you do know its illegal to run a fuel line inside the cabin of a passenger car. If you get caught with that big big fine possible.

Just needed to bring this back to the top so linux could see my post

Nice Job!!

Hey Linux, nice job on the gauge pod. I am glad you figured out the o2 sensor thing. And luckly you don't have the check engine light. Like i do. Now I have 2 go and find one in a Junkyard or pay 200-600 dollars for a new one. Looks good though.
