lmao but do you know which wire it is?

 

I dont think you can simply tap in and get the signal you need. I am pretty sure that you need to use it as a wideband setup and tap into the exhaust gases. The senders that are on our car are not wideband senders and wont work.

 

so what do you suggest I do? Because I need a reading. I understand the afr wont be accurate, but atleast if i could get an idea on it. because soon im gonna be turboed, I will have an emanage too to help with afr so idk if i have to worry too much about it.Could you explain how to tap it into the exhaust gases thing you were telling me about?

 

I know there are a bunch of others who pretty much have done what you are going to do. Do a search and ask the people who have turbo'd their tC's. I think you'll get the answers that you'll need from them.

 

unless the AFR gauge you purchased is a wideband type, it will be pretty much useless for tuning that turbo setup. It will however put on a cool light show.

 

lol i kno that but still I would like it to be connected. Atleast if i can get it lighted up that would be great. So can i connect the red to the cigarette and the black to a grounding point and nothing bad will happen?

 

well i turned the ligght on one of the gauges, lol it looks pretty cool. too bad it isnt blue but watever its an eye catcher. so now i just need to find out where to hook the rest of the wires in

 

sigh i tried to connect the second gauge on the same wires as the first one but only one would turn on.

 

Ok i got the air fuel ratio to work. basically all you have to do is tap the black wire on the o2 sensor on the s-pipe to the wire on the gauge and thats it. I used one of those vampire things

Now i cant figure out where sender goes for the oil pressure. after i figure out that piece, everything should be smooth sailing. I like how the gauges look too. they r so hott

pictures of my gauges. wait till i recieve the vinyl, it should look alot better and professional i hope

 

That setup for the AF gauge wont be correct. It might show numbers but they wont be accurate.

 

yeah, it's post cat.

 

Itsn't there something out to where everything like oil,water, and temp can be monitored on one small lcd screen?

 

i understand the afr wont be accurate, later on i will get a wideband. but for now this is ok. do y0ou guys know where do I hook the sender up for the oil pressure?

 

the easiest way is to get an oil adapter. It fits between the oil filter and the block and has multiple ports on it for connecting gauges. I have one I got from someone on Scionlife. You can also install a T off of the feed on the side of the cylinder head (driver's side). Then install the stock sensor and the gauge sensor. Only thing is this is where your oil feed for a turbo or supercharger will install, so it may be too much. Those electric sending units for oil pressure are heavy when hung on there. I have seen them actually snap off the T fitting causing oil to spew everywhere. The block adapter is the best way.

Here is the post for an example of an electric sensor breaking the T fitting:

Read about half-way down the page.

 

wow, my friend was thinking about putting that T valve on it too lmao, guess thats out of the question. so where did you get the oil adapter from? my oil sender looks like that guys, its not heavy at all either.

 

Well I know Greddy makes universal ones. I don't know where the one I have was purchased from as I bought it from a guy on here. I will check the brand name when I get home. I forget what it is.

that looks pretty sophisticated and kool

 

That will relocate the oil filter too. What you want is THIS. It will go in between the oil filter and the block.

 

o ok, im gonna look into that. ERIC-TC just sent me a pic of his setup. this is it



now it looks like he removed the piece was there, but where did he put the stock parT?

 

not sure where he put the stock sensor. On domestics you can remove it and not get a CEL, just get the dummy light all the time, so we used to remove the bulb from the dash. No more dummy light, and the gauge was functional. Also remember you are planning on going turbo, so you will have to run your oil feed off of there. You could put it there temporarily until you get the turbo of course.
