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

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
