I was looking at Summit and found the Auto Meter air/fuel ratio meter and I thought it looked awsome but would it actually be a good idea to get one? I mean it does tell you if you are running lean or rich. So would it be a good idea? Wouldn't it be nice on the eyes AND let you keep tabs on your air to fuel mixture?

 

Is this the one you are talking about?


I just got this one and I love it. I think they are very nessesary if your car is severly modded but if stock or mildly modded I wouldn't bother getting one. Just my $0.02.

Yea thats it. I saw it in a video and at night isn't it awsome as hell!?!?!

 

Yes it is. It looks awsome at night and has been a very valuable tuning tool thus far.

 

Prime how hard was it to hook up? What did you do and was there instructions that came with it?

 

I'd like to know too, i've been thinking about investing a gauge, Because my headers are going on soon and the car will be run lean but i won't know how lean.

It looks so tight if you have a manual!

Seen them and they dont look anywhere near as good as the other one

 

Easy as pie, 3 wires, one red (ignition), one black (ground), and one purple (O2 sensor). You just have to supply the O2 sensor. And the instructions are only one page and are pretty clear.

 

do you just splice into your O2 senor wire?

$50 cant beat that and I plan on getting one gauge pod to put on the A-pillar $19 I think.

 

That what I did. Plus its not blinding at night either.

 

but its still pretty bright though right?

 

Yeah I'll get the A-Piller pod.

Oh yea no prob seeing it during the day.

 

I'm calling summit tomorrow

 

Oh wait I got a question for you guys. What color would look best? Silver face, Black face, or White face? I don't have white gauges so what do you think? I was kinda thinking silver

 

Oh and Prime by any chance do you have AOL instant messanger?

 

Nope sorry, been meaning to down load it but just haven't had the time. I hate dial ups

 

How about genuine carbon fiber? Available from Auto Meter. That is what I got to match my dash dress-up kit.

Are these things really accurate and would they be usefull for tuning nitrous?

 

I have one in my car and its very nice, and looks great, but not only that its actually useful like a guage is supose to be. To me its the most useful gauge yet, my car I converted to carb, so what better way to jet your carb! hell you could do it with efi a lil bit by bumpn up your fuel preasure. Plus its soooooo easy to install. Looks great in a window pillar, thats where I have mine.

Until I had a vacuum adjustable fuel pressure regulator it was just eye candy. But now I find that it is accurate and usefull. It gave the same readings as the scan tool we hooked up recently to tune the engine.

 

the part # is atm-3375 in summit for anyone who is interested. Im gonna be getting one myself.
peace

 

hey guys..."Omega" posted this on the electrical board.

"Do NOT splice the O2 sensor wire!!! It gives you a bad reading. If you splice into the wire on the ECU then you get a nice and clean signal. I think the wire you need is #13 (brown) on the second plug. Do a search on the exact wire. "

Wouldnt it be better if the blue lights were on the left, and the red lights were on the right? Blue being lean (More air = Blue), red being rich (More fuel = red). I dunno, maybe I am just too picky.

 

Because it's worse to be lean than to be rich.

 

I think it makes sense... lean = running hot, rich = running cool.
