Greddy Gauges

[JBatt87T]

I just got my Greddy EGT and boost gauges in today and partially installed them. I dunno if this is the same for all gauges or just greddy's but where did you guys hook up the 12v power source, Ignition line, Parking Light line, Ground Line, and the External warning light Option line. I am trying to hook these up on the drivers side. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jake

all power sources can be found in the cigarette lighter plug
either that, or behind the cluster. i chose the ligher because it was easier accessed, and not too hard to get to.

I use a separate relay to control all of my interior stuff so its not on all the time. I've had too many dead batteries in my past.
I forget what switching source I used, but its right at the ECU above the glove compartment. And the power source I run directly from the battery through the firewall along with the ECU wire harness. I've got the fuse next to the battery.

The #2 Integration Relay is great for those gauges! I just put in a greddy boost gauge myself. You can get the constant 12 volt and the ignition 12 volt and the ground sources from the wires plugged into the back of the device. The light source unfortunately is harder... go for the wire going into the back of the tail light fuse.

The relay itself is a light blue box just behind the hood release lever (inside) and it says "light retractor" on it... or something to that effect. On the wiring diagrams it is listed as Integration Relay #2.

Hope this helps,
Jim

so you tapped your manifold for the egt? did you do it on or off the car?

 

[JBatt87T]

I havent done that yet I'm going to see if I can later with it on the car...is that very hard? BTW I used the wires coming off of my CD player. I had to find another source of vacuum though cause it wasn't getting enough from my AFPR with my E-01 on there as well.

there is a way to tap it with the manifold on the car, but it's a bitch, and you can end up with crap in your turbo if you aren't careful... the easiest thing to do is tap it when it's off the car.

radio wires are fine, just fuse the connections... and yeah, i generally find one vac source for each item that needs it, as opposed to multiple ones on one line.
