Need help for aftermarket gauges
I think this is the right forum to ask this type of question but if not please move it appropriately.
OK, I have a 95 hatchback and i'm replacing the whole dash with the MB fiberglass dash. I want to install the following gauges:
Speedometer
Gauge level
water temp
The car still a daily driven. I'm sure someone here had install this gauges on their car. what do i need to make this gauges work specially the speedo to activate the vtec.
Setup:
b20vtec
fully build bottom end
full-race mani
t3/60-1 w/ S housing
Car made 540whp and 400lbs.trq on 24psi with 118 octane gas. Thanks a lot for help.

What is a gauge level? And how would your speedo control your vtec? Water temp is simple connection. Is it elec or mech? What are the model numbers of your gauges?

Re: Need help for aftermarket gauges (30psiCiv)
Yeah, i meant fuel level. And thinking about the mechanical ones. but if it too much of a hassle to install a mechanical gauges, I can use the digital one like the Apex-i rev-speed meter. Thanks,

Re: Need help for aftermarket gauges (boostedb20vtec)
The speedo install is simple just setup the speedo for 4000ppm and connect it to the vss wire on the tranny sending unit. Fuel level will need a 90ohm GM style sending unit. Run one wire on the sending unit to ground and the other to the gauge signal in. Mechanical water temp is easy just decide what type of sending unit you want and connect it to the gauge. Vtec is controlled via the ecu based on oil pressure and rpm
