Default JR Industries gauges...

Here are some pics of my JR Industries triple pillar pod and gauges installed and working. The bottome gauge is for oil pressure and is not connected yet as I have to drill and tap a fitting for the sending unit. I like the looks of the gauges and they work well.

The top one is AFR. I tapped the signal from the ECU (CN4 pin 15) for the gauge. It was mentioned to me that tapping might pull the signal down to the ECU, so I hooked up my ODB reader and monitored the O2 sensor numbers as I revved the engine and the numbers for both sensors tracked each other. Others have used this signal also. So I believe that all is well and not causing an issue. I may opt to install a bung and a wideband sensor later. During a drive it says my AFR is about 12.7 - 13.0 crusing at speed. When I punch it it goes to about 10.5 to 11. I need to get the car on the dyno and see what the AFR is during WOT. I just added the 240 moded intakes and may need to adjust my tune more.

The middle gauge is boost. I tapped the Y pipe for the fitting (in gallery). This one was pretty easy to do.

The push button on the gauges work well and the top two are right next to my hand during driving. I can change by just sticking my finger out and hitting them. The bottom one I have to reach a little. The gauges are positioned very well for viewing while driving. And the color matches the car perfectly. (note that it also matches my console!)

If you are looking at installing gauges and want a great looking and functioning pillar pod, get hold of Jonny & Rudy.

This has not been a paid political announcement. Just a very satisfied customer. (who finally hooked up the gauges).
