Update. MS is in as well as the PLX300. My tach is out I've read that some ppl have had this issues but I'm writting from and iPhone and is bit of a pain to look for ****, could anyone give me a quick fix??

Also could any of you show me pics of your inlet piping. Although I trimmed the coolant hose and remove a fan I could not manage to route a pipe downward the idle valve and a sensor for the TPS is in the way.

I forget the fix for that. You most likely have a 95.5 which was like obd1.5 or something. I remember my friend Paul putting an MS in a car that was 95.5 and the tach didnt work. Check to see how many wires you got going to the coils.

Quick search came up with this "My 95 (late build) had the RPM wire in the wrong location when you look at the wiring diagrams from the workshop manual.

There's a blank space on the wiring diagrams in 1F. That's where my RPM wire was. "

Default Opinions needed

At this point I have quite few projects I would like to take care of before the snail goes in. First is the coolant re-route, then engine mounts, and then a clutch, and maybe a cylinder hear refresh.

I thought that pulling the engine/tranny out and do all those projects with the engine out would be a most convinient. What do you think??

Some goodies came in the mail yesterday, electric oil pressure gauge with sandwhich plate, and boost gauge. I waiting on the coolant gauge and adaptor. Here are some pics. The prices were very good and they seem of good quality, in case anyone is looking for gauges.

Let me know how hooking the electrical up to those gauges works out. I Can get mine white when I turn on the ignition, red when I flick on the lights, but it will stay red until I shut off the ignition. WTF. I've got the same oil psi gauge and adapter plate, as well as the coolant temp gauge.

Great . I thought they were a good deal when I saw them. Ill keep in mind the wiring issue and report back once they're mounted. Post some pics of the ones on your car.

I don't know if it's a TDR one, but it's the same as the one on the top here
TDR Custom Gauges

I got it off some local Protege guy. I'm missing the middle section since my car came with a double DIN radio. Not sure where to find that piece, so it sits a bit loose.
