adding gauges



I have never done one myself but from what i have read it is not to hard. Where in iowa are you located i would be glade to help if you are close by.
 
Its not hard at all to add gauges and an A-pillar, i would recomend using some 18g copper wire and some inline fuses when you hook up your power source. I would also recomend using electrical gauges instead of mechanical. It took me a good couple of hours to wire up my trans temp, oil pressure, and my air/fuel gauges. synthetic shield sent me this link I used it to hook up the backlight to go on with the lights. Thank you OQCGP

Yea I did mine in abour 3 hours for a boost Oil Pressure and Aeroforce scan gauge. The worst and most time consumming part is getting wires adn hoses though the firewall I got them through by running a hanger though and then tapeing all the wire to the hanger and I actually put some cooking oil on them and they went right though. I guess any lube would work but that was the easyest to find at the time.

hey do you think you could give me a quick rundown of the wiring route?
 
I went through the firewall on the driverside up behind the brake. THe vaccum line for the boostgauge went to under the pulley for the super charger and the oil preesure gauge wire goes to the sending unit 2 inches behind the filter I ran bolth of them the same way till the oil pressure wire had to go down to the filter. OQCGP :: Ontario Quebec Club Grand Prix this is really a good write up this is what I used. And the aeorforce you just need to suply switched power and the OBDII Cable goes to the OBDII port. I used a Add a circuit that I got from advanced auto. Any auto parts store should have them they are easy and just so you know there are 2 fuse holders in them so you have to use 2 fuses. Probly everyone knows that but I didn't and there were no instuctions so just sayin. I pulled the stock pillar off and ran all the wires then cut the bottom corner of it so no crushing will take place. Let me know of any other questions. Oh I also had to get a coupler and some more vaccum line cause what they sent was not enough
