Default air/fuel ratio gauge help

searched but could not find, i am wiring up an a/f gauge in my friends 02 dc5 but ive never dealt with a 02 sensor with more than one wire lol the 02 sensor before the car has i believe has two black wires,two white, and one green, would the sensor for the a/f gauge be spliced into the green?

also we are going to be wiring up an oil press. gauge however since i am not familiar with k series motors and we have no manual and appearently i cannot search on search engines cuz "keywords" never make sense, i was wondering if someone could post a pic of where it is located on the motor.

any and all help appriciated!

If you are putting a lame a/f gauge from autozone or anyother parts store your wasting your time. They are so inaccurate. If you want flashy lights then put in flashy lights.

What kind of a/f gauge are you installing?

and you should only have 4 wires. Two black, white, green. Blacks are ground. I believe the white is for the heater circuit. Green is the one you want...

I have an 05 and my primary had two black, one white, and one blue.

ok so they are glow shift gauges my friend wanted to try out, we are using a stock o2 sensor, and im on my own with o/p gauge? so does that mean no one knows where the stock sensor is? and alright i will use the green wire for the signal for the gauge

Well to install the oil pressure gauge you just take out the oil sending unit and buy a Tee and tap the block from there.

What do you mean "so does that mean no one knows where the stock sensor is?"

+1, real WB is the way to go.
1 wire, 3 wire and 4 wire O2 sensors and gauges are only accurate at 14.7/1

You'll have one wire for the 0-1v output, the other two or three wires will be for a heating element.

Innovate makes nice stuff.

Wideband is the way to go. Don't waste your time.

technically the RSX 02 sensors are wideband already just to let you know if you didn't already. If he gets k-pro he doesn't need an a/f gauge.

I dont think his friend is "into" knowing what his car is actually doing, i think he just wants flashy lights. The guages DID come from the zone....
