[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.

And, yes, the A/F would be wired to the factory O2. It's not very accurate, but that's what this gauge is designed for.
You are missing something.
