How many gauges do you want to fit in Wayne? I reckon if you had less of an angle with the pods, you could fit in four. But you might as well just have them sitting level with the facia. Would still be easy to read.

Very nice Gubas! One question tho, did you spray the paint directly onto the body filler or did you use some sought of primer first to seal it? Also, did you use, enamel, acrylic or 2pak? When i was doing some bog work of my own i found that the paint came up very textured in places that Bog had been applied. I was using enamel and it looked like it had either reacted with the Bog or was absorbing it leavining a weird looking texture...

I used a plastic primer first, over the plastic, before the body filler.
Then i used a general purpose primer over the bog, which is suitable for acrylic paint. The matt black paint is acrylic.

I also used a high build spray putty over the bog. There are a few tiny winy pits still there that I painted over. I'm most likely going to sand back the black and put a bit more high build in there, but I just wanted to get it done for now.
Yes, I know, slack.

That looks awesome, so much better than the "mount the gauge on top of the dash as you cant be stuffed custom fitting it"

Great work there, looks clean and neat............

Yeah, I'll paint it one day. I left it unpainted, to see the difference between stock and painted.

Yeah, I think I might.

From the ecu connector, I used pin 29, for the sensor wire, pin 49 for the ground, and +ve wire for the gauge I used ignition wire.

Under accleration it says rich, back off the throttle and its stoch, then backing down the gears its reading very lean. When its lean, you only have to tap the throttle, and its running rich again.
I'm having a big slack attack the last few days and cant really be bothered looking into it. It looks pretty for now, but probably not functional yet:P

Tell me more about this wide band O2 sensor.

I'm impressed with the job you did, Gubas. They look great, particularily at night when they've got the green glow.

Check out the latest Street Machine Magazine. There is a writeup on wideband O2 sensors. They didnt say price, but they reckon the basic Bosch ones arnt that expensive anymore.
