Default [FAQ] Boost and Air/Fuel gauge install into civic

I thought i'd make a short writeup for the gauge install. this write-up will be posted on my website: www.lukekailburn.com


The first thing to do is select a place to mount the gauges. I chose a dual A-pillar pod



Autometer Light show... i mean Air/fuel Gauge



Unhook the battery

run the red wire to the yellow/green-stripe wire on the cig lighter thing.



run the black wire to a ground



run the purple wire to the thicker solid white wire at the ECU




Reconnect the battery and take it for a drive to test the gauge



Autometer Boost Gauge



Unhook the battery

run the white wire to the solid red wire on the green plug which connects into the back of your climate control



run the black wire to the red/black-strip wire on the green plug which connects into the back of your climate control



run the vaccum line out this precut hole in the firewall(i drilled a hole in the grommet so i could keep the grommet there)



using a razor blade, cut the vaccum line that connects to your FPR(fuel pressure regulator). Insert the plastic T, the soft adapter, and connect your vaccum line




Reconnect the battery and take it for a drive to test the gauge.
