Will this work with an autometer a/f gauge? Or will it still just bounce around??

UM... your air/fuel DOES bounce around, that is what it does.... if it doesnt move around, you hooked it up wrong or your car is f@#cked...

When i hook it up to the stock sensor it bounces around. If i were to hook this up will it stop bouncing and actually read?

Bouncing is what it is SUPOSED TO DO!!!! the air fuel mix does not stay constant, if it did, your car would not run properly... an air/fuel ratio moves around sporadicly the only time it is farily constant is when you are at WOT. as for intalation, here is a link for the DIY, if you do more projects I highly suggest looking in this section of the forum, it has a lot of good info...

OKay, One more question. I've seen that hooking it up to the sensor can ruin the sensor. Is it any better/worse to hook it up at the ECU??

mine is on my main o2 sensor. the ecu dosen't read properly.

How long has yours been on there? Have you had to replace the sensor at all?

tuning i have a hybrid setup im runing a dx ecu on an ex d17a2, and i tuned the car with the VAFCII, and my NO2 is coming in

what about running nitrous?

booba5185

ah, i have a tach in my auto, everyone says it's useless, but i watch it for gas mileage, would there be any type of benefit in that way, or would it just be completely retarded to have it

ajhdragon

iTrader: (5)

you have to tune it right befroe you can run NO2 or else you can have detination and stuff which = not good. so it has to be a little richer in wot to prevent it.

ajhdragon

iTrader: (5)

did you put the tach in your auto? cause if you did i find that kinda retarted. and if you plan in tuning your car get an a/f guage, it won't hurt anything.

booba5185

yes, i did put a tach, but thats because i have a dx with no tach and it's not a huge 5 14", it's like 2 3/4 at most i dont remember the exact size but, it's small, the only reason i got it was so i could pay attention to rpms for gas mileage, not to try and guess where it'll shift for itself

ajhdragon

iTrader: (5)

yeah i put a tach in my dx as well but i have a 5-speed and i have a volts guage that is basically just a pretty light to fill the hole in the guage pod, but will be replaced with the boost guage.

how did you guys run the wiring to the engine bay.

ajhdragon

iTrader: (5)

i ran it behind the radio and glove box through the little ubber gasket thing on the fire wall i nthe engine bay, then up to the o2 sensor. yo uonly need to run 1 wire through the bay. the power wire you can run to an open slot in your fuse box, along with teh wire that turns the light for it on, which means the light for the guage will always be on when the car is on. and ground it to any ground.

For lighting, you can also go to the back of your HU if you have an aftermarket one! that is what i did, so easy!

booba5185

no no no bad that makes ur sound quality go way down, hook it up to the cig lighter, just as easy

Octane Joe

iTrader: (4)

2 things wrong w/ this post, first, take the lights off the dimmer line off the HU wire harness, aka off stock harness, will NOT effect your sound quality... #2 Cig lighter is a constant feed, your lights will be on all the time, looks very stupid to have your back lighting of your gauges on when the rest of your dash is not illuminated

booba5185

oh, i thought u mean the ign power like someone who will remain names did with their tach, my bad
