wls350 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Ok so first of i had this damaged drivers air vent in my car, i went to Nissan and they wanted a ridiculous amount of money for it, so i got a brain wave and figured ill get a Wide Band AFR , since im going to Nos and turbo later. I got an Innovate Red LCD DB series Gauge with a LC1 Bosch sensor. I took a good long look at this whole thing and figured it would be fairly easy, turned out to be far from. Below are some pics of the install and a video clip of it in action. (i went for a red one as i have ordered the red LED Guages from Blacktop custom guages.) This is what my door vent looked like, dont even ask as i dont even know. Removing door panel was relatively easy work, a few clips and it pops out. I had to cut the vent out of the guage, only to realise that you could in fact unclip it from the back DUOH ! Little Pre Check to see the gauge would fit.. While i had everything out, i decided to sand and respray the lot, using plain flat black spray paint. After first sand and spray the handle was quite badly scratched so i decided to wrap it in red carbon wrap. In order to get it to fit we decided to mod the stock housing of the air vent to keep the stock look Once it fitted flush, i tacked it in with some pratly putty, and glued the vent back into place where i broke it of. wrapped it and fitted door panel back together. End result is it really came out very well in my opinion. I had the Bung welded into the exhaust right after the 3 joined into one. and ran the connector up next to the gearbox housing. i ran it through the drivers side compartment where the brake fluid ect lies. went through the firewall and into the car. wiring i just wired up as per instruction and calibrated it. I know have a full wideband guage which is really handy as i can log data with it aswell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujQdhiD36Go&feature=youtu.be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GDvhDClWAI&feature=youtu.be Edited December 21, 2012 by wls350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
