Actually, there are two gauges I have questions about. I have an Autometer Ultra-Lite Water Temp. gauge that I have no idea how to hook up. Anybody have some sort of write up? I've tried google, but found nothing.

Also, I have an Ultra-Lite Air/Fuel gauge. Last time I hooked one of these up, I ran it directly from the o2. Is there any other way of wiring this up because I couldn't stand where it was.

Gauge installs are for a 2001 Honda Prelude. Both gauges are also mostly cosmetic...I'm not running any type of forced induction.........yet.

Thanks for any help!

You can find the pin out on your ecu, and hook the a/f up that way, and for the water temp there should be a bleeder screw in the thermostat housing, which you could take out and stick the fitting in there so it can read...just check out honda-tech to find out what pin is what...

Exactly right.

You are putting in a gauge to just take up a slot and look "cool" you may as well get an autometer analog clock :rolleyes:

sorry...i'm just anti a/f gauge at all, for 1 it's not accuracte unless it's wideband, 2 unless i have a way to log my readings i'd have to tune while driving cause i don't have a dyno in my garage, 3 even if i did have a way to pull up the ratios at the specific rpm ranges as soon as i tuned it out i'd take it out so i wouldn't see lights flickering every time i touched the throttle. i hate mounted a/f guages for the record

for the watertemp this is what i did

i went to honda and ordered a new housing with a hole for some sensor, and i took a fitting in there, and then i took the sensor with the gauge and put it in that fitting. looked OEM. then ran the wire

for the air/fuel i THINK its A-10 on the ECU, you might wanna check H-T out tho

good luck man, lude is really coming along/
