Installing A 2nd Boost Gauage.

[Spunky Munky]

Hey all,

Well, I just recently got a side pod with 3 gauges installed into my R33 - I originally had a very nice (and easy to read) boost gauage but now with the pod (one of the 3 gauges before a boost one) I have one left over.

I am hoping to get it remounted in a different location near the dash as I really like this gauage. The question is, with the original pressure tubes/wires etc being used for the new boost gauage, what would I need to wire up this second one.

I have bought a nice chrome gauage stand and casing etc, just want to know what is involved to wire this up.

Is it as simple as attaching an extra wire(s) to the second gauage split from the first boost gauage? How about the pressure tubing etc? Some help in regards to the above would be great.

Thanks,

Kevin

just splice the wires for the light from the other one, and a T piece onto its vacuum line. Run it up behind the dash and either drill a small hole in the dash behind the mount or poke it through a vent.

OH I see... so the vacuum line is all that is required? So the vacuum line is all that is required for the boost - I was under the impression there is another boost line... thanks for that... much appreciated.

Would the reading be the same or different after it's been split?

They will all read the same pressure.

Lol..... yeah, I want two as one reads only in bars of boost - I want one that reads in PSI... much more clearer... cheers.

Thanks for everyone's help!

Much appreciated.
