I did a search only found where people where talking about what gauges to use. I am in need of some info on where to get the readings from. I know on some of the old mustang 5.0 the number 8 cylinder always ran the leanest and # 3 on the DSM cars ran the leanest. Does anyone know which cylinder the tC's run the leanest on? I am getting ready to put the EGT gauge in and want to make sure that I use the right one.
On another one where is the wire for the air fuel also?

Thanks a ton for anyone that can help me.

 

noone knows?

 

I have yet to see any info on this. You can be the guinea pig

 

i dunt tink anyone is interested or willing to break there back trying to find this info since most of the people on here are for sound and show.

as for me, i woud love to find out but $$ is the issue as for everyone elses.

 

I would suggest you contact one of the gauge manufacturers that makes the type gauge you are considering and ask them. Try egauges.com I found them to be exceptional with their quality and willingness to offer assistance.

ok I will have to look into the EGT one. How about the air fuel one?

 

You may want to call one of the turbo kit makers, zpi, dezod, scionspeed etc.....they should know....

 

I know there is alot of people on here with Air/Fuel gauges, Where did you get the wire for it at?

 

it should come with the wire

 

correct, and you would need a wideband a/f ratio... which is $$$

 

you need a wideband a/f ratio?


iuhh haha.. you probably mean narrowband's are useless. but there was just a post in power hungry about the aem uego wideband gauge for $252 which is dirt cheap.

 

ok, I guess I better explain it a little better. Where did you tap into the factory wiring to get the reading from? Where on the tC is the wire you tap into and what color is that wire? that is what I need.

 

it's probably in the FSM if you have a copy.

 

Im sorry I dont have that. I didnt think it would be this hard to get from people on here. I know there is alot of people on here that have these gauges in there car.

 

I've never installed gauges, but it's a project I will eventually tackle. I'm a crazy bastard and if I don't figure it out by then I'll probably just end up color matching all the wires and seeing if that works.
Anyways, I hope these help:

Someone please do a write-up. BreakAway you did an awesome write-up on the gauge pods, why don't you give it a try.

 

i should be installing the following gauges over the weekend

voltmeter
oil pressure
vac/boost

i will do a write up on these once i install them... if i cant do them over the weekend... i will make a tech article about it when i finally get them installed.

and ty for the compliment on my pod install

 

the turbo kits are few and far between (as far as being installed)

not many N/A guys are doing gauges

 

The guys at the dealership werent any help really either. Does any one know where I can get a print out of the wiring for the car? I can find it in there if I had that. I even took wires all the way out to the 02 sensor and that didnt help either.

 

well for the narrow band o2 sensor you will have to use the wire on the 2nd o2 sensor (on the s-pipe) because the 1st one is not a normal o2 sensor and will not work with a regular a/f ratio gauge. I hope this helps.

 

yes that helps. I went down to the second one and there is 2 blacks a gray and a white. I tryed the gray and the guage didnt move. I tryed the white and it read lean and acted like that was the right one. So I ran the wire all up and went for a drive, it stayed on lean when I started it and thought I had it. Well after heading down the road it went from lean back to the blue light which means no signal, It kept jumping back and forth from those two lights. If I gunned it it went to the no signal. Then when I would let off it would go back to the lean light some times. Not always would it go back to lean. But there is no lights inbetween when it did this. This is starting to get really irritating. Any one have any other ideas on getting this gauge right?
