A/F ratio gauges

im having a problem with an autometer A/F ratio gauge.... a couple of the shops ive been to dont want to install it cos they`re afraid that it can cause problems with the computer.... is this true? the shops got even more scared when i mentined that it was a JDM engine aswell.

is any1 able to suggest anything?

on another note, i may be able to get my hands on used ITR injectors. they need to be cleaned (high mileage) but what i'd like to know is, is it worth getting? or should i just use the money on better camshafts?

i forgot to mention, i have a JDM b16a w/ all wiring and a jap computer aswell... i have no idea what mods have been done to the engine internally

Ok on the air fuel guage...my friend put one on his 90 civic and he has no problems at all. If it was messing up people's computers why would so many people use them. I would suggest installing it yourself. What year is the b16 you have??? Then I can answer your question about injectors.

i dont really wanna mess up the wiring and ecu stuff so thats why i went to a shop...
shit, i dunno what year the engine was made...all i know is that it came from a 92-95 civic hatch SiR (EG9) and the ITR injectors are 96ish.
thanks for your advice

I will be install my friend's AF tach tomorrow and from the instructions that I have, it's not difficult. I say do it yourself...it'll be just some wire splittings, that's all.

Dont tap an a/f gauge wire into the sensor in the engine bay, tap it off the ecu in the car because otherwise the where you splice the wire can pick up interference and make the gauge read incorrectly and sometimes cause problems with the engine idle.
