gauges

[troutz15]

how the hell do i hook up a boost, oil press. and voltage gauges? theyre VDO gauges from a turbocharged volvo...

i don't know about boost, but the oil pressure goes to where the low oil dummy light sensor is. (i can't remember where, but you can look it up in a manual).

you just put in a "Y" and connect both the dummy sensor and the gauge line.

volts go to any positive 12 volt source, like a fuse in your fuse box. then the ground just goes to ground.

doesn't matter what kind of gauges they are.

Your oil pressure sending unit is right above your oil filter. You take out the old sensor and put the line right in its place. Your volt gauge goes to ignition power. Put it to something that gets power when the ignition is on. On my car, i connected it to my switching power wire on my cd player (the red one). As for boost im not 100% sure so dont quote me on this but i belive that it goes to your turbo pipe that goes into your motor but im not sure. Is your accord turboed. If it isnt you have no need for a boost gauge.

The boost gauge is connected to your intake manifold.

is it just me, or does anyone think if he has to ask how to hook up a voltmeter, or oil pressure gauge that he shouldn't be turboed?

i sure hope he isn't...for his engine's sake.

naw its not that, its a old ass volvo, im pretty sure those are wired differently 2 hondas...and i asked cuz the volt and oil pressure meters have positive, negative and ground leads...as well as another positive and negative pair about that...
