nah man not taking to heart. so you're having a problem wiring it or is it something else?

 

sounds like he is having issues getting a reading on the AFR. Supposed to run it to a wideband

 

That type doesn't wire to an RX8

 

anyone want a air/fuel gauge

 

nelson: what are you going to replace the gauge with? Coolant Temp?

 

yup dont tell me you have one lol

 

nope, just seeemed like a logical choice

 

off the subject for the cob access port do you need a after market e manage like the int-x

 

emanage is a MAF system by greddy (EMB - E-manage Blue, EMU - E-manage Ultimate)
interceptor x is a MAP microtech system by mazsport
cobb is an ECU reflasher, meaning it works by itself.

 

kool thanks

 

i spoke to the tech at prosport and he said the air/fuel gauge will work on the 8....attach sender wire to grey wire on o2 sensor

 

there's a gray wire?

Go for it though worst thing that could happen=

1) it doesn't work
2) it messes up your ECU readings and you get crappy performance

Just turn on your car and let it idle for like 5-10 minutes, if it sounds like something is different (stumbling, stalling) just take it off.

the easiest way to reach the wires is to jack up your car, take off the cat, then at the top of the pipe coming off the engine you will see a probe sticking out of it. Use a box cutter and carefully take off the plastic protective layer to expose the colored wires, then buy a wire tap (go to home depot, radio shack) ask the guy for some wire taps, and bam! Pretty self explanatory after that, you put the two wires into the "tap" and squeeze them with pliers and this little metal bar pushes into the wire effectively hooking them together without splicing or soldering.

Pink wire.

 

Not the blue wire!!! *BOOM*

 

ill give it a shot whats the worst that can happen

 

famous last words...

 

*ahem*

 

did you try it?

 

when from 50 degrees to 30,,,,waiting for warm weather i hope it works

if not ill be selling it for around 30 bucks

 

rofl dude, normal AFR don't work on the 8, I tried once, have to get wide band, or buy a separate o2 sensor and weldz it on!!

 

i was told even getting a separate o2 sensor and welding it wont work

 

Not for wideband, but you can always hook it into the narrowband O2 after the cat. Granted it would be pretty useless for tuning, it would look fairly nice on the dash.

 

im going to remove it and get a water temp

 

huh? the a/f gauge won't work with an a/f sensor? what is it meant to display? the orbit of Jupiter?

 

wont work proper ^^^

 

but they manufacture the gauge.. surely it will work with something???
