Installing A 2nd Boost Gauage.

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?

Regards,

Kevin

and somedays you just ask why.....

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.

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
