Mounting AFR Guage

Postby StanTheMan » Fri Nov 04, 2016 9:56 am

How do people mount their Guages.

LC-2 wide-band is arriving next week some time

been looking at an a pillar mount to secure the gauge.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-2- ... 1485503183

its a universal mount. Its only $16 so if it doesn't work no big deal.

Ive seen some lovely setups on the center where the stereo is fitted . But I don't have room there and I don't intend to run 3 different gauges at this point. Although If I decided on a start button this would start looking a little more attractive.

Ive also seen them fitted in the vents.....not sure about that. i would probably nee to close that particular vent off from the heater?


Ideas , suggestions....very welcome

Do you need to 'see' the gauge or is it suppling info to your ECU?

The concern is if you are watching the gauge you are not watching the road. Therefore put the gauge up in your peripheral vision if you need to watch it. Mine is down near my left knee and is obscured by the steering wheel, hence I never really look at it. Bonus is my tune does not need it, hence when it throws an E8 error code I ignore it.

at this stage the wideband will be attached to the OEM ECU with a narrow band signal until the MS will get installed.
The install of the MS will have it connected directly through the harness withy nthe wide band signal going to it.

The lc2 doesn't come with a guage.... did you buy one separately for it?
