i am looking into installing piller gauge pods in my car but cant find any write ups on how to wire differant gauges and run the differant tubing. i am looking to run a vacuum, water temp and volt. if anybody knows of any write up or knows how to do it please let me know thanks in advance, charlie

 

Well you need the size and depth of the gauges to find the right cups.

 

well i was thinking about going with a package i seen on ebay my buddy got it and it comes with the pod and all three gauges from glow shift

 

That sounds pretty good. lol

 

would you happen to know how to install those gauges or know of any write up??

 

i'm guessing you got boost/vac or just vac. that one goes into the vacuum hose that is from the bypass valve or whatever that thing is to the throttle body (there is a post on how to install which i can look for in abit). water temp i'm not really sure cause i haven't installed one yet. as for Volts you will have 3 wires, 12volts, ground, lighting. of course you know ground by now and 12volts-lighting goes to your parking lights but i got mine from the light that is in the cubby and volts from my ignition so when i put the key it, the gauge will start to read the volts of the battery. oh one more thing, water temp and vac. will have the ground and 12volts for the light as well so just wire all 3 together and go from there. 3 grounds into 1 wire. 3 12volts lighting into 1 wire.

 

thank you i will have to continue my research for the water temp but i was looking and the gauges im going to get come with some sort of sender unit but i dont know were it goes?

no problem, if you need help with how to wire the vacuum and volts gauge just let me know.

 

i appriciate it buddy i think the only problem ill have is the water tempcause i seen a vac gauge in a tc and ts easy and volt is self explainitory. but im going to keep looking around for the water temp write and if you come across anything let me know. thanks

 

your going to have to drill and tap a hole for the sender unit... its basically the part that reads the temp and sends it to the gauge... but honestly... i am not exactly sure where you want to tap it... normally you want it on the return side of the radiator... so.... thats where i would start...

 

I use Autometer gauges and found that www.Autometer.com has instructions for most of their gauges....just click on a gauge similar to yours, they're basically the same install, just different brand.

Hope this helps, and.....
For boost/vac: Standing in front of your tC with the hood open, look at your throttle body and on the left side (may be marked yellow) you should see a pressure line that goes up to a "T" tap. Just cut that line about half way (between throttle body and "T" tap) and use the supplied "T" tap lubed with a little car oil and slide in. (Oil helps seal air leaks)
