Can someone please help me with the installation of an Auto-Meter boost gauge (3301) on a D16Z6. I'm not sure where the vacuum line from the gauge is supposed to go. Any pictures or detailed instructions would be great. I don't have much experience with turbo projects, so your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

The vac source should come anywhere from the intake manifold. This means just "t" off a vac line (ie stock FPR, purge valve...any vac line) and route it safely into the cabin, where it meets the back of the gauge.

 

Thank you.

 

where is a good place to tap for power for gauges?

 

The honda fusebox is prewired for 12v lighting, and 12v ignition. on the fusebox, there are 5 open slots above all the fuses...the source is in there.

haha lemme go outside and take a pic, post your email here, ill email you the pics

 

Can you post the pics here or e-mail them to theprophet2000@comcast.net? I am interested in how you wired them into the fuse box because I just tapped off the existing wires.

 

here are the pics i took for jdmsol about the routing of the boost gauge





and here is the pics of the fusebox wiring...its the dash fusebox, not the underhood box





ill take more pictures if you guys need them

Thanks for the additional pics of the fuse box. I never even thought about doing it that way.

 

here you go...to clear up things...sorry if its a little tooo in detail. I got nothing else to do and I like helping.







Hope that clarifies anything!

 

You want to come down to Alabama and help with the whole install? J/K Your help is very much appreciated.

 

hehe...it would be a nice trip...seriously though, if you have any any more questions...you know I would jump outside and snap a few pictures, they always help. I got nothing to do at ALLLLL today, I think i may go wash my car and take a few pictures of that...
