Default Gauge install...???

Hey guys, I'm wanting to know where you are wiring in your A/F Ration gauge? (narrow band) On my 4V I wired it into the O2 sensor. But on these new cars I'm not sure if that will work. I say that because I put an O/R x-pipe on one and the CES light never came on, with no mil's.

Also going to be installing a boost gauge and a mech oil pressure gauge.


Thanks in advance.

Nick

Wideband gauges come with O2 sensors. Narrow bands are worthless to even come close to accurately measure A/F. So you make a new hole close to the manifold/header on one side, weld a bung to it and screw in the sensor. The wiring can go through the firewall behind the fender splash shield where the big harness goes through.
You cant put a sensor in the X. One side will suffice for A/F ratio unless you want to buy 2 sets.

I know wide bands are the best. This is for a friend of mine and is for show.He doesn't want to spend the money on a wide band.
