Default Gauge pod wiring, triple pod, Wideband O2, N2O PSI, Nitrous microcenter, LC1 & pics

Well finally getting around to wiring my triple pod. I have the Dynotune Wideband O2, N2O PSI, Nitrous microcenter, and the Innovative LC1. I've had these installed in the black alcantara pod for a while and I finally got motivated to wire everything. Thought I would document some of the steps if anyone has questions just ask. I started wiring the nitrous micro center which has the most wires (7) followed by the N20 PSI gauge with (4) wires. I also designed a very cool mount plate for the rear passenger compartment that will house all (4) of my relays (40 amp) and (2) 6 position fuse blocks. Wiring is supplied to the relays via #10 gauge constant 12v and I ran a keyed 12v ignition #12 gauge wire to both fuse blocks, ground is supplied via #12 gauge. I actually tested the nitrous microcenter and N2O gauge and they work beautifully with the key energized. This will make diagnosing all of my interior gauges a breeze. Anytime there is a problem I can just go to the passenger rear cargo cover, remove and test or replace the fuse or relay for the device. The plate is actually held in place by spare tire mount **** and is covered in grey charcoal to match the OEM rear cargo. I took a lot of time on plate making all the mount positions with well nuts so you can use a machine screw to install your devices. Its so slick I might have to put them into production

Here are some pics:







Here are some pics of the pod for those that have not seen it:

I just spent a couple of hours wiring and putting carbon flex covering over all the wires. Pulled the whole bundle through the interior to the passenger rear where I have the fuse/relay center mounted. I heat shrinked and labeled all my connection at the fuse block. Now my waterpump watchdog (Meziere), aeroforce interceptor, Wideband 02 / LC1, N20 pressure, and nitrous microcenter are completely protected with individual fuses for each gauge. If I have a problem I can just go back to the fuse center and solve it quickly. I have to say this has turned out really pimp! I'm going to try and have the LC1 wideband bung welded in on friday if I get time.

Here are some pics of the progress:

I know you got all that fancy wiring but don't you bring anything funny to the run.

Appreciate the compliment. I have a decent pic of the gauges lighted up, but I need to take a better set of pics. Here is a quick shot of the setup (sorry for the poor quality) I have to say that it looks so cool at night! I really wish I had done this a long time ago (too lazy ).

Pillar pod, Thanks and the gauge in the A/C vent is an Aeroforce interceptor.

New Orleans LT1, Wow, thanks for a really nice compliment. I've certainly put a lot of hard work into this car over the years. I'm glad you took a moment to voice your opinion
