Is there any way i can get the evo gauges for my oz?

 

Excellent work perversity, I think we'd be really interested in seeing those pictures and documents posted somewhere. I noticed you moved the boost gauge to the left, good move, is it definitely in a good position to watch out of the corner of your eye now?

 

Hey, what size and model number is that gauge, it looks nice. Also, what color is the backlight, do you have any night pics?

 

Why does my Autometer boost/vacuum gauge read to 30psi of vacuum? Isn't 14.7 the maximum amount of vacuum that you can physicaly get? It does read 20psi of vacuum sometimes.

BTW: I just got done with the install.




....never mind.... its 30 inches of Mercury [slaps forhead] duh...

 

Does anyone know of a boost/vacuum gauge that lights red to match the factory gauges? It would be nice to have both functions on the same gauge.

 

I'm thinking about doing your setup with lancer LS black face plate? Perhaps blend with the guages better?

 

on idle i get 20 vacuum during driving its can go down to about 27ish so 30 psi vacuum is good.

 

Okay guys, here's the instructions for my relocation. Any feedback appreciated.

great work Perversity
tnx for taking some time into doing this and helping out

 

Yeah, I second thuan, great work.

From the look of your SMK it seems like 2 of the meters are wired into the car's electrics and maybe the wires are already there for you to connect up the meters. The boost gauge has the vacuum hose running to it. I was wondering if I could bother you to maybe take some pics of where the vacuum line is connected to in the engine bay, and how they threaded it through the firewall ?

I am assuming you had it installed by a Mistubishi dealer right ? How much they charge for the install ?

 

Hey, Thuan and ZX6r, thanks.

I will have a look to see where the vacuum hose is attached. It's a T-piece hacked in there somewhere. The oil temperature guage has a sensor that piggybacks the oil drain plug - watch out for the wire when changing the oil. Obviously the volt meter just requires a + and -.

I had the dealer install the kit as part of the purchased bundle, so I don't know what they would charge you, but the MSRP is $464.

I guess more photos to follow on the web site. I will also be putting and info about the car and hopefully some video footage of my track day last week, so check it every now and again for updates.

 

In answer to the questions above - The wire for the oil temp guage and the vacuum hose for the turbo guage are routed to the left of the engine bay (see photo below) and then through the rubber boot in the door to the back of the dash and into the guages.

 

Here's the T=piece for the vacuum hose...

 

Perversity,

Can't thank you enough for the pics. Great work

Not sure if the link works.
