I know this is 2 years old. But a tip for soldering your wires together. Take your solder iron and place it on the opposite side that you are applying your solder to on the connection, you want to heat the connection and allow the solder to be sucked through to your soldering iron. By melting the solder directly onto your connection, you are only coating the outer strands.

[@StarwindIV]

watched this years later and I love that fuse option, gonna be doing mine this weekend

[@Smeedia]

Good way of doing it, that's how I still do them 🥳

[@willlucas1032]

Another tip for soldering is to put the iron on the bottom of the wire and melt the solder in from the top, this ensures the whole joint is soldered all the way through and its pretty neat to watch lmao

[@Smeedia]

I'll have to give that a try next time I solder, appreciate the tip! 😁

@@Smeedia no problem my guy! Using a wider tip with that technique also helps lmao Also ur a g for replying !!

No, however you can wire it to pull data from the wideband instead of thr stock reae O2

So I'm having an issue. Bren tuning wants me to log the wideband on AP3 but once they send me a tune they want me to go back to narrowband bc of smog laws. Idk how I'm supposed to be able to tie this into the 5v for logging and still swap back to the stock sensor.

I'm not sure on that one, does he provide any documentation of how he wants it wired in? Or he wants you to wire it to wide then swap it over to narrow?

[@nicholaspriest9204]

I have a somewhat outlandish question... I had an analog boost gauge for a while but jjust got an AEM digital one set up and was wondering if it is possible to take the boost line from the old gauge and run it to the AEM sensor. In my head, as long as it fits, it would make sense to be able to do that so I can avoid running a whole new set of lines through the fender.

[@castielangelofthelord1992]

Hey mate After so much research I was going to finally get the oil pressure and wideband A/F gauge. I originally was going to get glowshifts as my budget is more limited, but I keep getting mixed reviews. Some say trash, some say they are great. However, I decided to go with AEM but looking at them installed, they seems spazzy to look at, with the numbers flashing. Are they horrible to look at while driving? I don't know if I like the flashing they constantly produce.

[@Smeedia]

Mine dont seem too crazy, I know when you record them they flash on screen because they are LED. Honestly when driving I barley notice them at all

Great content. I got a question I got a divorce invidia catless down pipe with a single bung. My question is do I have to get another down pipe with two bungs to be able to run the gauge ?

Yes or you can have another bung welded into the downpipe for the sensor to go into

[@Smeedia]

Illumination and something else 😅

[@andrewt123at]

Why wouldn’t you want to have them illuminated? I just don’t see why you cut the other wires off

[@Smeedia]

They Are to dim the gauge when the aux power is turned on. I would rather just have them stay the same. I did not feel the need to wire the remaining two. However; if it is a feature that you want than i would go for it. They relatively easy to wire up.

[@jadenw2985]

next time please place the solder gun under the wire then apply the flux solder at the top of the wires, it will heat up and pull the solder through the wires creating a better mate. Instead of just dripping solder over wire.

[@Fastmosquito555]

So I have a question.. If I take my OEM O2 sensor out, and install the one provided by AEM for the AFR gauge, will that make the ECU go crazy?

[@Smeedia]

Yes because your ECU cant see the AFR. You'll need to have a new bung welded on the downpipe for a AFR Gauge

[@TOisONit]

@@Smeedia let's say... I deactivated the factory 02 sensor, could I replace it with the wideband in that bung?

[@adamswartz7670]

Question; I had an AEM wideband installed on the top of my HKS downpipe. I also have an Oem oxygen sensor in my equal length headers. What does the oxygen sensor in my header do then? Isn’t it a narrowband sensor? I believe my tuner turned off codes for downstream o2 sensor.. now I’m confused lol. Or, does my wideband that’s wired in have no control over fuel corrections, and it’s just to monitor my engine is running efficiently

[@Smeedia]

Fuel corrections will run between your front and rear O2 sensor, the one in the header will read upstream AFR and the one in your mid pipe will read downstream AFR. The one on top of your downpipe should go to an AFR gauge to read the ratio

[@adamswartz7670]

Smeedia my AEM wideband is on the top of my DP right after the turbo. It’s wired so I can monitor an actual wideband on my AP AF Sensor 1 ratio. So it has no control over fueling, only for monitoring then I guess

I prefer the normal as it does what I need which is to just read, the X series has programmable options built into it. With the access port you don't really need the features the x series offers

[@berserk7511]

Thanks I’m looking to get a tune done. Would you say it’s mandatory to have an afr for a tune? I have a stock down pipe and there is a kit that uses your fact o2 sensor made by Visconti racing. Basically you install the new sensor and it converts it somehow for your wideband.

[@Smeedia]

I would suggest the wide band as it gives more clarity for the tuner and yourself for what the car is doing. Not needed though for a tune.

[@berserk7511]

Smeedia thank you I forgot to mention I have bigger injector so I assume I’ll prolly need it now. Plus eventually gonna get a downpipe so might as well know that out. Did you have to do anything for the afr system to be logged on the AP? Out of experience do you know and good Etune companies I hear a lot about BrenTuning & dank tuning any thoughts on them?

[@Smeedia]

The ECU should log all AFR it is seeing from. The rear O2 Sensor. Those are all good e tuners as well as drunkman tuning

Something more which I want to know, like -- 1. initially when you soldered the wiring of both the gauges, you should have done some unboxing to show how many cables/wires they come with. this is because, in the video you have connected both the wires and then at the time of install(at 8:05) there comes another big wire(AFR harness) which is connected to the O2 sensor. 2. Also, you skipped to show the connection between the harness and the soldered wire(though it is a easy-pezy) as viewers we expect the complete view of it. specially when it comes to wiring which is very important part. 3. Which is more important --> the connection to the gauges!! i believe there a tiny vacuum hose that connects to the boost guage along with the other wiring. you could have shown that over at least after you plugged in all the wires before fixing the pod to your dash. 4. there are few other videos on here that show a different way of installation for the boost gauge itself, where they have connected their vacuum hose sensor with a "T" to the stock BPV, can you please explain which one is more efficient, as I read in a blog connecting to he BPV gives us the most appropriate readings? will be greatly appreciated. I have been following you on your youtube build vlogs but i haven't seen a FPR installation video(if there is one i might have missed it, lol). I really really hope you do that one soon as all of these mods fall in the same category it will be helpful for people like me. I hope you get back on this soon bro also correct me if i am wrong at any of these points, I am still learning :) lol! Thank you.

No worries appreciate the detailed feedback. So Cobb installed the FPR when I got tuned, totally spaced on it so they had to throw it on before the car went on the Dyno but if i can find someone on the area installing one I will try to get an install video of it! As for the vaccum hose the most accurate reading is going to be if of the intake manifold as it's going to see absolute manifold pressure vs normal vaccum and boost outside if the manifold. There is a free nipple on the lower driver's side of the manifold that can be tapped into to use. With the AEM Gauges there are no vaccum lines going directly to the gauge only the electrical wiring going to the sensor which then transmits over to the vaccum line. But I will definitely keep these in mind for future installs. I've gotten more in depth with a lot of them as compared to some of my older videos 😁

@@Smeedia thank you very much for a quick response. That answers most of the things that i put up. Please do the FPR video sometime soon! And yeah, i thought i mentioned in my previous comment about the AOS install -- that was a detailed one :D i loved it and will definitely be taking help from that video! Most of your vlogs are detailed, i agree! Thanks again bro! :)

Good video. I have a question about the vacuum line as well. The one you pointed out in the video is currently being used for my FPR (I have the Perrin FPR installed). Is there another nipple you are talking about thats not being used on the driver side that I just dont see, or am I going to have to cut the vacuum line and install a T-fitting for another output on that line?

[@Smeedia]

You can also pull vacuum from the vacuum line going to the bypass valve. You would have to install a T fitting onto it.

[@MrKosmik003]

@@Smeedia so is it better to use the T-fitting off the BPV or the manifold line that connects to the FPR?

Subbed btw

[@IraFuse_422]

Put the end of the vacuum hose in boiling water to get the hose on the sensor

[@Smeedia]

Not a bad idea, I normally use a great gun but the water might prevent the hose from melting a little lol

[@Menace_sti]

Got the air fuel one but after awhile it got stuck on the 3 dashs any idea why?

[@Smeedia]

Bad sensor, my recent upload i cover it because it just happened to me too

[@Menace_sti]

@@Smeedia damn this is frustrating when its brand new. But okay if its the sensor imma wait to see what subispeed says if not my autoparts store has that boash lsu 4.9 replacement for 50bucks . Damn are they still holding up?

[@Smeedia]

My Frankensensor is working great, the auto part store sensors work pretty good from what ive seen

[@Menace_sti]

@@Smeedia lol thats the one you spliced up from Amazon?

[@Smeedia]

Yessir 😅

[@iOnlyGame]

Does that AFT package has logging cable included or I have to get it seperately ?

[@Smeedia]

I beilive the X series has it
