EGT,Boost,Air/Fuel gauge intall???
Is this a DIY install or am i better off going to a shop? and how much would they charge? I'm installing the V2 myself but don't know jack about electrical wiring.
If any of you have tips/info on the wiring I would appreciate anything.
Thanks. I have a pod off an old eclipse.
It's a V2 on an AE

The V2 isnt that hard to my knowledge especially if you use these directions
By the way youll have to cut and paste this link. But as for the guages there should be directions with them if not i think there is plenty of people to help you here on the .org
My advice is not to pay some a$$ your hard earned $$$ to do something you are capable of doing. Just jump in and get your hands dirty the worst thing you can do is not hook it up right so you have to do it agian untill you do.

I got you covered...
I have done A/F gauge & I can do one for you too...
I can setup the wiring for the EGT & Boost gauge. I am nervous about drilling, so I will let you open thge heat sheild & drill a hole in your exhaust manifold... I will run the probe into your engine bay...
Don't sweat gauges... It is time consuming...but easy.
Worry about the SC

It all depends on the model of the gauge. Only certain EGT works with certain probes...etc. Kinda complicated. Just pick up an autometer catalog and it's all in there.

Why EGT and a/f? I would forgo the a/f(unless it's one of those expensive accurate ones) and maybe go with a fuel pressure guage instead?

unless of course, you guys tell me otherwise

I returned the A/F leaving me with
-Boost
-Oil pressure
-EGT
I'm only running an SC no N2O, so what is the importance of fuel pressure besides to make sure that there is some? If EGT goes too high then I'm lean, same thing reversed... isn't that enough to monitor fuel? I just don't want too many gauges. Thanks for all the input guys! anyone know track #'s with 3.33 on a 5th gen 5spd?
