RE: Gauges? UPDATE PICTURES

Nice job on those gauges. I've seen two gauges stuck in that space, I'm trying to figure out a way to stuff 4 in there (2 over 2). It will be tight, I'll have to file down some of the trim rings.

Yoinks !! [&:] Me no touchy Air Baggy. Me got fat fingers like Pig trotters

hahaha thats what i say the whole time i am working on my car..
"I need smaller fingers damnit!"
it is a rather easy removal tho.. just sounds crazy.
I have a little motorized screwdriver i use to remove all the screws/bolts, and i can get the center dash piece out in like 10 minutes at the most..

I dont know how you could get 4 in there.. i think 3 would work, 2 on top and one on bottom. The two on the bottom look like they would be a problem to me because the vents tubing is very close to that center panel there.. might have to cut into them, then try to fabricate a way to seal them up.

Cubs17 - yeah i was.. before i cut into it i just kept telling myself, "its a new car, and if i need to i can buy the new panel again"

Yeah, shredder, I'd have to fabricate the ductwork behind it I think. It seems I always try to do things the hard way!

far from.. you have to remove the passenger side airbag to remove it..
remove battery negative terminal then wait 30 minutes to make sure there is no charge in the airbag sensor
remove 4 screws at the bottom of the glovebox, remove glove box
remove 2 bolts holding the airbag in, reach in from the inside and push all around the outside to detach little clips, DO NOT pull on the airbag panel, you can seperate the dash trim from the airbag some and your dash will be uneven, like mine is now lol.. i still gotta find out how to fix it.
pull the dash trim from the instrument gauge cluster outwards
remove 4 bolts holding the center dash piece in..
was harder to figure out than it was to actually do.

I was wondering if you removed the panel. I removed mine and cut the hole off the car.

There's a ton of stuff that can be monitored through the diagnostic port. this gauge displays long and short term fuel trims, fuel pump duty cycle, both cylinder head temps, both 02 sensors, injector pulse width, MAF counts, throttle position and of course any sensor on the car like coolant temp, air temp, etc.

There's no oil temp sensor or even a traditional oil pressure sensor, but I could always add those sensors and attach them to this gauge. It will also record whatever parameters that are displayed after 50% throttle is applied for up to 60 seconds I think. That's what's happening in the above picture, i was recording mph and horsepower.

I think you guys just saved me some cash! I was thinking about a wideband to supplement my Aeroforce, but seeing that 850mv equals 11.5 AF and 900mv is richer I should be safe if I'm putting up anything above thisvoltage.
