Power wire into Boost gauge


400HP

Recommended Posts

depends what power it needs. If its just to light it up, wire it into your parker wire, if it needs constant, find the constant wire etc..

i find the easiest way is to use a multimeter or test light and search around till u find the right one :D

Sorry I shoud make myself clearer. What I'm asking for is more specifically which wire.... cos I don't have a multimeter (although I should get one) and cbf getting one. I don't want constant. I want only when the headlights are on.

The obvious answer is around the fuse I'm sure one of those wires would be good... anyone???

Pete/dAve - its a Greddy boost gauge.

just go but a test light, will allow you to find live wire when lights are on, only cost about $5

Yep that is the way. Open up your steering column and you can find the parker light comming from the stem that you use to turn the lights on and off with. Tap into that and you will get the desired effect.

all you have to do is pull out your dash light dimmer switch and "piggy back"/conect the power wire on the boost gauge to the red/supply wire on the back of the dimmer switch.

this way you can also dim the light on the boost gauge when you dim the dash lights. too easy

    • Doing it this weekend. For sure this time. Thank you forum gods.  And im running map sensor now with the haltech. Still have the AFMs attached to the mushroom dome shaped air filter things
    • Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).
    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
    • Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
