FAO Bren - only 1 week to pay day....

... So I'm planning my next most important mods! :(

Can you do anything to tell me if my engine is running lean? Is there some gauge I can plumb into the Lambda sensor to warn me so I don't sizzle my cylinders at high boost?

Yep, that'll do for next month - then I can start thinking about fueling widgets :(

How about an air fuel ratio gauge for £55.50?

Go for an Air/fuel gauge they look excellent!!!

Dead easy to install (providing you don't connect ground and +ve to the Lambda power) :D :D :D Easily resolved once Bren pointed out I was a spanner :D

It was a shame the weather was so crap at the Maidenhead meet, I completely forgot to show you my gauges!!! : :p

Bean,
How easy was it connect it up to the lambda sensor then? considering I haven't got a clue how to get at it in the 1st place :o . I like the gauge tho, wouldnt mind one of them on my A pillar.

It was simple :)

You just need to connect the signal wire from the gauge to the signal wire on the lambda sensor.

You can take power from inside the car.

I took the insulation off the plug going to the lambda and spliced into the signal wire using a scotchlock connector.

Finished the job by securing it with a couple of cable ties and black insulation tape, you can hardly tell it's there.

Edited because my keyboard can't keep up with my fingers :)
