Title: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: Wesleyboytellem on December 13, 2010, 08:51:52 PM looking to install an air/fuel ratio gauge and wanted to see if anyone could offer any advice on the install.
...im not a wiring kind of guy. Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: timot_one on December 13, 2010, 10:40:43 PM It's really not that difficult. For my a/f gauge, it's just the harness to the a/f sensor and then 12v power and ground. You can pull power from the harness in your steering column. I've posted a wiring guide for the Accord that will have pretty much everything you need.
Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: Wesleyboytellem on December 14, 2010, 12:35:20 AM but what color is the a/f sensor wire? and where is it located?
Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: timot_one on December 14, 2010, 08:24:38 AM You have to add another a/f sensor. Have an exhaust shop weld in a bung and you run a 2nd sensor. The Accord uses a narrow band a/f sensor so you won't be able to use it.

Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: CrackerTeg on December 15, 2010, 02:08:54 AM ill leave the light show for the ricers Haha! Well said. What A/F gauge do you have?Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: timot_one on December 15, 2010, 08:09:02 AM The only a/f gauges I would get are the AEM UEGO or a PLX AFR.
Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: Wesleyboytellem on December 15, 2010, 11:11:18 PM i havent gotten one yet, just getting feedback for when i decide to pick one up.
i was never one for fucking with wiring. thats just me. Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: timot_one on December 15, 2010, 11:15:28 PM If you get one, get the AEM UEGO. If it's a stock motor, don't waste your money. You'd really only need it if you start modifying your motor and run a tunable ECU.
Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: Wesleyboytellem on December 15, 2010, 11:27:43 PM yeah i was thinking that. i got the whole tsx im, hondata and p2r gasket, sri, ud pulleys, exhaust blah blah
ive read that tuning for straight bolt ons is kinda pointless. seeing my brother 6cyl in the driveway everyday really makes me wanna trade my 4 in for a 6 Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: timot_one on December 16, 2010, 12:02:29 AM Why? I make more power than a stock J30. Of course, I've put in a good amount of work into my car.
Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: Wesleyboytellem on December 16, 2010, 12:22:38 AM i see that. your cars badass.
and not to sound like a fanboy that just watched 2 fast 2 furious but you have no idea how bad id love to divulge in everything f/i. >:D Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: timot_one on December 16, 2010, 12:57:19 AM My car isn't really that badass.
Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: Wesleyboytellem on December 16, 2010, 01:13:56 AM Youre on crack
Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: timot_one on December 16, 2010, 01:25:54 AM Not any more.
Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: Wesleyboytellem on December 16, 2010, 01:32:14 AM way to go whitney. 8-)

Title: Re: air/fuel ratio gauge install help Post by: timot_one on December 16, 2010, 09:21:38 AM Yeah. Let's get back on topic for the AFR gauge. It's really really really simple to install one. The biggest challenge is running the wires through the firewall for the sensor. I'm sure you'd have a shop weld in the bung on your header at the collector. The only thing you need to do is wire 12v and ground, then connect the sensor to the harness. It's pretty easy to accomplish.
