Radio and Gauge install and wiring cleanup

 

I've been meaning to outfit the Evo with gauges to monitor the over-all health of the car while driving it. Read outs that I have been wanting are Boost, Oil Pressure, Voltage, and Coolant Temp. I've purchased two gauges to start with. Boost and Voltage.

I really wanted red analog gauges, but one they were a bit difficult to find in red. Two, they tend to not be accurate. 


Work Performed:

  • Installed Radio W/XM Satellite tuner
  • Boost and Voltage gauge installed
  • Wiring clean






















Next thing on the to do list is to move the Wideband to somewhere I can see it when stepping on the car. I really wanted to avoid having a gauge pillar or steering column mount. But ultimately I may need to put the wideband in the column area again.

I have seen a few mods where the widebands are installed into the gauge cluster itself. But not sure I want to lose the OEM lights for it.
