I am almost done with the Zeitronix/Dashdaq install in that I have connected power, EGT, wideband O2, fuel pressure. These all work beautifully. Now, the Zeitronix ZT-2 unit also has wires for Throttle Position Sensor and RPM. Any idea what I connect these two wires to? I assume it have to splice into wires going to the ECU.
And, if someone tells me how to identify the wires, Im not sure how to splice into them in a weathertight manner. Perhaps strip some insulation, solder on the Zeitronix wire, and then paint with a "liquid electrical tape"? Or use one of the clamps from autozone that tap into a wire but is not really weathertight?
Finally, I have an oil pressure sensor I would like to connect. It needs 5 volt input. Any place to tap into for that or do I have to solder in a voltage transformer from radioshack (by removing the cigarette lighter adapter from transformer and soldering into 12 volt supply, but seems especially cluttery solution)? And where to screw in the sensor (1/8 npt)? People were advocating the Greddy sandwich adapter which has holes for this but it is no longer for sale. The glowshift model and some generics dont work apparantly, and it seems I should be able to do this without adding a sandwich adapter.
Will post photos when get up and running, what it does so far is pretty cool. Just want to finish its capabilities before closing the rear clam. I plan on mounting the dashdaq lcd screen in center of the dash behind the two central air vents with small custom fiberglass shroud.
