- in my opinion, every modified car should have these gauges added in. Having an OIl pressure and Wideband can give you so much information for troubleshooting, the health of the engine, and a way to monitor for potential problems. Widebands can also be very helpful for tuning situations where your tuner would need to see what the Air Fuel ratio is of the car to be able to tune it accurately. Oil pressure is a major one to have that can aid you in advanced warning for potential issues that may happen.

"My AEM Wideband O2 sensors just seem to die all the time" as he drops it on the table. 😂
😂😂😂😂
That wont kill it silly.
Tanner: “Tame 400whp for a fun street car.”
Hawkeye: “Lie”
Tanner: “we’re gonna do this in 3 stages”
Hawkeye: “half truth”
Tanner: “We’re gonna resto this into a proper STI and not push it crazy hard”
Hawkeye: (whispers) “Harder daddy”.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is straight up facts
100% true story 😂
Truth. None of us believe this is a simple resto. This thing is going to the moon.
What I did to make the rubber bands work is wrap the gauge with electrical tape to increase its girth, then wrapped the rubber band around the tape then they fit fine.
there is a firewall plug next to the steering column you could route the oil pressure sensor without having to extend the cable
If Subarus could talk an had social media , they would want to be bought by Smeedia. They would say your the Gucci of buyers lol . Leading the way in Always doing things right 💪🏼
MIKE I NEED TO SAVE THEM ALL 😂😅
I connected up oil pressure and temp gauges a couple of weeks ago, got a little freaked out watching the pressure steadily dropping as it warmed up, and not knowing what the pressure should be when idling at operating temp. A quick google search calmed the nerves.
For future reference, anyone needing a replacement aem uego wide band o2 sensor; Bosch part number 17018; o2 sensor will work as a replacement. Its also alot cheaper than what aem will sell you. Just fyi.. happened to me plenty of time with my blob eye wrx
My aem wideband has been good on my evo x since 2016 😊
that was an old Directed remote starter box. I install remote starters at my car audio shop in CT. I complely understand that when you see bad wiring, it just makes you want to yeet it out of there. Love the build. Looking good sir.
Man to go from a live stream to making this video and still hoping on instagram live to show some love to others. You are the man!
Trying to keep at it 😅🙌🫡
I think I can speak for everyone when I say we appreciate the hard work you put into it!@@Smeedia
Thanks for the video! I’ve been needing to get some of these bad boys for my Hawkeye 😎
Send ittttt!!!!
These daily uploads have become my night time ritual❤
I'll try and keep em up for ad long ad I can 🫡
You can polish the plastic shield for your gauge cluster to make it look better than new with just some plastic polish compound. I use it with a drill attachment and takes like 30 seconds.
Put an AEM oil pressure gauge in my '16 wrx. Barely enough cord to reach. Love it, just waiting for it to crap out like AEMs do! Firewall access hardest part. Nice video
Hopefully it dosent crap out on ya 😅 I've had a fair amount die
excellent advice, on my 06 there is an accesshole on the drivers side firewhall and I run my gauge wires through that, makes for an easy hookup to the fuse box
I've used that one before as well. Another good route to go 🙌🔥
For the AEM gauge bodies you can 3D print spacers essentially to attach to the posts on the rear of the gauge and then use a rubber band as you would usually do.
I need to buy a 3D printer 😅
if you want to send dimensions ill 3D print them for ya!@@Smeedia
@@Smeedia I'm local if you want to try to figure something out with my printer.
I removed the plug toward the rear of the block and used that for the oil pressure sensor. I didn’t need to extend the harness.
SMY and some people that 3d print make adapters for the x gauges that extend it make it so much easier to install.
I wish I knew this yesterday 😂
Heck yeah! Always need gauges!
Always a good thing to have 🙌🙌🙌
Burning the midnight oil, we appreciate the hard work.

You should try e6000 glue it’s amazing if you ever want to remove is doable doesn’t leave residue. After I used it never used jb weld or double sided tape.
I’ve never gone through that grommet for gauges. Always have gone through the two next to the clutch master
Those ones work as well. I've always gone through that passenger side firewall one 😅
If you ever have trouble getting wires through tricky spots, look into a tool called a push stick. We use them in the IT world when we need to get network cables and other things to go through small holes in walls and other hard to reach places
I've done similar. But I'll end up using welding wire to push wires though 😅 works like a charm 🙌🔥
Oil pressure saved me the other day, I was driving home at 85mph, and oil pressure went from 60psi to 20psi.
Got both of these transferred from my 17 WRX after taking the parts off that. Luckily my gauge gives enough length for the pressure sensor to reach to the OEM port. Haven't tested to see if a 1/8" Y fitting fits there with the alternator so close though. Man the FA20 was nice for that fitting being in the timing cover 😅
The FA20s fit a bit better for that harness 😅 My old BRZ was same same
Nice, nice. I need an aos and master cylinder brace
10/10 suggested 🔥👌
good job man 👍💪
I install cameras and gps systems on public transportation and power company vehicles. I bought a 50’ “snake” from Home Depot and it works wonders for running wires! Just cut off about 10’-15’ of the snake, file one end over onto itself and tape. Then run it through wherever you want to run the wires. Tape wires to the folded end of snake and pull through! We call it a “fish” (fishing the wires through) this way you don’t have to slit the edge of your boots/grommets. Just a small hole and push the fish through with wires taped on!
I love all your videos. However, I would like that every time you make a modification, you say the cost of everything at the end of the video, parts and perhaps labor cost. Thanks for your videos bro
I also love that the gauge pod blocks the yellow "hill assist" indicator from when I disabled it! 🤣
The replacement O2 sensor you can get from a regular part store if it goes out. Ive heard the Bosch ones are best.
Those are the exact ones I use 🙌 little cheaper I've seen on Amazon. Parts stores around here are about $70 a sensor
I agree, I also only use gauges with actual needles that sweep generally too. Digital gauges don't move fluidly enough for me and depending on the lighting(lack of) are unseeable or blinding lol.
I could ser that. I prefer the digital ones as I can quickly reference them when driving 😅
@@Smeedia That's why I get the needles... if they every pointing the wrong area....it's noticable to me. And again the light sensitivity the older ya get at night man....
Nice
I have the same slim aem gauges, and theres an adapter thats made to make them stay in. I have the same gauge pod too
I feel like all subies are the same but I ran all my gauge wiring behind the driver front fender there is also a massive grommet that you can add wiring through it, the stock wiring from the engine bay fuse box goes through it to the interior fuse box
I've used that one in thr past for battery relocations and airlift installs. Both work well 🙌🔥
S204 steering wheel is a huge flex, still trying to find one
100%
On my 944 ive got it all
Water temp
Oil temp
Oil pressure
Volts
Fuel
RPM
Speed
Vaccume *overlooked but tells a lot of the health of a motor* or boost that goes vacume.
Wideband O2
Fuel pressure
And fuel content if your running flex.
And as a cover all the Banks OBD2 Idash for a cover all one gauge does it all
All good additions 🔥
One of the reasons I love my haltech in my 17 STI is that it shows all of this on thr main display 🔥🙌
Cobb Accessport monitors 6 out of that list plus intake air temp,fuel temp. throttle position, boost wastegate duty, gear selection and a lot more, but oil pressure mechanical gauge is a great addition and A/F Ratio.
Quick and easy me likey
🫡🫡🫡
You should glue a piece of plastic or metal across the hole with some holes then bolt the gauges down.
I gotta get my some guages for my sti, leaning torwards those defi guages cause it goes so well eith the stock cluster and a aem afr
The defi gauges look so good. But they're so expensive 😅
i got the same oil pressure gauge in the same spot only way i found way just to use some electrical tape around to hold it in place you don't notice it so much as it all blends in
Tbh I never thought of that 😅
@@Smeedia I wish I did extend my harness like you did just so I can run it in my ati triple gauge holder tbh
My Man , wen u will do a forester xt or legacy turbo conversion for the family/dog.
I own a forester ee20 , i thing i be nice to see u try to do something different like the rx7.
Besos i really like ur job/videos
Small strip of 3m dbl sided tape it goes right around and then you can take them out
I tried that last time and it kept just ripping the tape off 👀 apparently they make adaptors for them 😂
picking up my first WRX STi in about 24 hours... coming from a stage 1 2002 Audi TT Quattro. been binge watching your videos and really appreciate the info you share. can walk into the dealer with more confidence.
SMY makes extenders for the X series gauges
Some good info for some, the OEM Subaru sti gd floor mats are still available if you didn’t already know
I just ordered a set tonight 😂
The OEM blue STi mats?
@@callangouger8696 black
@@Smeedia hell yeah! Neither of my gds have came with them so I might as well
Yooo what stereo is in the sti that thing looks clean 😮 love ur vids man
I doing 🙌🫡
Same guages I have. Smy makes an adaptor to extend the guages to hold in the pods. Also I wish I got the 150 psi oil pressure lol. I thought 100 was gonna be enough. Sensor always errors out till the oil warms but a little :(
SMY sells adapters for x series gauges
WOOOOOOOO!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
god I remember when my 2007 looked that clean(ish) inside lol
I put a Y in the oil pressure sensor port and run the OEM sensor and the gauge sensor from one port.
I just leave it out, light stays off and dosent tell me anything more than the AEM pressure gauge would 😅
@@Smeedia I was worried that the OEM sensor would stay on saying there was no oil pressure. Does it not do anything?
And hello there again.
Well hello there good sir 👀🙏
Hey man, cool video. What did you do with the OBD2? Why aren't you cut? Did you connect it to rear 02?
could you make a bracket with some spare metal and JB weld that into the gauge pod and bolt the gauges to that?
Curious as to why you chose the dummy switch location for the oil sensor. Is that for access? I did the one in the middle of the block and found it useful as when that sensor goes out, you have the dummy light as a check. My gauge value crashed but the dummy light didn’t do its 4psi trip so led me to know it was gauge and not engine
Do you recommend sandwich adapters on the oil filter? I have a temp and oil sensor plugged in to a sandwich right now... Was thinking of relocating the pressure to where you have yours.
Smy performance website has adaptors for the gauges to work in that gauge pod
Lmao well that's good to know going forward 😂😅
I think SMY has gauge extensions! I run some of them on mine.. maybe they are even from RSD.. I dont know where i got them from anymore
The gauges on my project I just wrapped it in electrical tape and that secures them🤷♂️ idk if it’ll work in your case.
So my question would be since u r taking off the oem dummies oil pressure sensor what do u do with the wire at is connected to that one wont that make a light come on???
Quick question! My Ap Afr reads a normal 14.37-14.50 but my Aem Digital Afr reads 15.15-15.40 at idle, then in normal driving they seem to end up matching. Is that normal?
So it is my senssor that went bad , it started to slowly not work some times some days work and some not and then would only come on during hot days then finally stoped fully working no matter what and now never comes on , and ive been wondering what happend and what it might be , i figured the sensor but wanted to make sure before buying one but if you say they go bad like that then it should fix it no problem is there a warrenty on the sensor if you buy a new one ? , 06 GD owner and love the hawkeye content
Ao i have a stock 05 sti and im putting id1050x injectors in and tgvs rails im going from side feed to top feed...how do i do this and keep it looking as stock as possible
I have an AEM wideband and the bloody LCD screen has gone so dark. cant see it in the day at all. did it just on a year old.
Also RE: the immobiliser - you would have a fit if you saw an aus WRX. the dealerships wired in a system before selling them in all the cars because of the high theft rate.
How do you extend the wiring harness for the oil pressure gauge?
Gauge setup always my dream! I hate Cobb or a television in my car in general. I love old school stuff.
The basic gauge set up is such a nice thing to have. AFR and Oil pressure really all you need
Sometimes it's best left to the imagination 😂 just send it 😂😂
Lmk if you’re trying to get rid of those rear grabby arms on the back of those gauges I lost one and I can’t them anywhere 😢
Is it ok to use a 20 amp add a fuse and fuse if aem says use 5amp fuse?
What about the OEM oil pressure sensor? What happens to that?
Wish I could add a wideband on my WRX, but Cali sucks so I have to rely on the stock narrow band and hope it's somewhat accurate
Ps narrow band to keep track of readings not for tuning. It's stock tune cuz like I said Cali sucks
California be suuuuuper strict on anything ya'll can do 😭
My 150psi oil pressor sensor died and I had to buy a complete kit with guage to get it running again. Can I just buy the sensor instead? I want to keep spares as well.
I got ecutek on my car and I can read the AFR from my phone
Is a wideband still needed ? I
So dose a vacuum gage
What wire stripper are you using? It’s been hit or miss for me buying them online, and the dies go out pretty quick on the ones that do work well.
Linked it in the description 🫡 so far things been 👌
Hey Tanner how's it goin? Could you do an install video on that IDoing head unit I see you threw in? Or just mention which one you grabbed? There is a few different options for 02-07 on the website.
I still have to actually install ot so we can go over it 🫡
Tanner you got to help me brother I bought a plug and play haltech setup.... how to I plug this into my ecu?!!!! I'm sure I could figure it out but you know your the man sooo😅
Your stock ecu? You don't use it anymore 😅
@@Smeedialmao
😎👍🏻👍🏻
TOMMMM!!!!
Do you need to purchase a separate oil galley plug with the 1/8 NPT threads in it or does the factory plug where the oil pressure switch mounts have the same 1/8 NPT threads?
I know im late but was scrolling thru the comments. You do need a seperate 1/8 oil galley plug. You can get them from killer b and other similar companies but ive yet to find one that threads into the sensor nicely lol
Great video! Does the wideband setup help with tuning with the Cobb AP?
Not so much anymore. Before greenspeed you could tie the wideband to read to the ecm.
During my e-tuning, I would have a passenger record my AFR guage. Send that to the tuner along with the datalog. The tuner just used the video to compare the numbers to the narrow-band reading on the Accessport datalog.
Open sauce and dime mod support it.
Dime mod literally does all cobb does (and more) except for live tables.
It can even add a blip for down shifting.
What head unit is that?
Hey tanner can you explain the reason why we have to tune our cars if we install comp series aos. Please
TBH I'm not 100% certain. The only thing I could really see it changing are potential inlet air pressure as nothing is recirculating back into it
I’m struggling to find a video on port injection regarding the fa20. Can’t find a install guide or just a better explanation on the install and all the pros and cons for power
Tbh I don't think you'll find much out there. Not too many people doing it.
It shouldent be much diffrent than doing a fuel system on an EJ 👀
I woulda tried double rubber banding first... maybe triple (I dunno how bigger the holes is)
Tried that last time with no luck 😅
Not sure why I keep getting an error when commenting. But let me try again.
For the AEM gauges, what if you use some M4 standoffs? They have them in many different lengths.
The proper length and those might work. I just learned Smy sells adaptors for those gauges 😂
my 03 outback has just a oil pressure switch - is there a oil pressure sensor that would work with that?
Like if i were to install a OP gauge, I assume i'd need to replace the OP switch bc its just a switch, but i dont want to put in a sensor that just tells the ECU theres zero pressure, even if I got the gauge that tells me what it is
You can run both. You'd just need a Y adaptor to use both sensors. Or you can use the rear galley above cyl 3
I wonder if you could use a thick oring for the gauge. If I’m being dumb. Simply tell me to shut up haha.
does the replacement sensor go bad less often than the aem sensor or have they not gone bad on you yet?
I have not had one of the replacments die on me yet 🙏
What is the point in installing one of these A/F gauges if you can already track A/F on the access port? Is it more accurate?
The AP reads off of the front o2 and is a narrow band sensor. The narrow band can't pick up as much information so for better and more accurate monitoring you'd use a wideband
Ahh I see, thank you so much!! 🙏 Been loving the build on the Hawkeye, keep up the great work man!
What’s the comp do
Turns the AOS to a VTA set up (vent to atmosphere)
Where did you get your cosworth intake?
Flat iorns 🙏 they're out of production last I saw
What do you think of VLS gauges
VLS? 👀
Tbh never heard of em until now 😅 they look kinda cool
@16:17 Thats what she said 😂
😂😂😂😂
Thoughts on a P3 guage?
They're good little OBD2 readers if you don't have something like an AP 🙌
I used my Lego technic brackets for mine
🎉🙏💙🍪
🙌🫡🙏
Your wiring tendencies entertain me. I'd have just used some wire and four of the splices with the solder and heat shrink in them. Add some tape and maybe sheathing if its a showy car and call it good.
This skipped over the wiring for logging purposes entirely? Which is what I came looking for. Literally the entire point of fitting a wideband setup. Was a waste of time watching this when you only did half the job. If you werent going to do the whole job then you should have mentioned it at the beginning of the video. Smh
This is a big nope for me. Interior panels and electrical are impossible. My car does have an Air fuel gauge but the wide band was cut by the driveshaft. Never bothered with it.
Got damn, how'd the driveshaft snag it?!
