Hey CL, finally installing the defi racer boost gauge in the 200t today. I was going to tap in to a vacuum line off of the intake manifold, just curious if there is a specific one. Instructions say to tap into the vacuum line between the surge tank and the FPR. Also, Not too great with electric work on vehicle but know the basics and have done gauges and audio in the past. I was going to tap into the fuse panel with spade connectors for power, but I'm not really sure of which wires are needed, and which aren't. I'd prefer the gauge to be lit up whenever the vehicle is on. There are 3 wires minus the ground to connect.
orange (ignition) (12v battery) I'm guessing switched 12v?
red (+B) (12v battery) Constant 12v?
white (illumination) ???

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I wouldn't mind taking pics for a DIY.
and it comes with a boost sensor, I was told that I needed to buy the blitz boost adapter (which is in Japanese and I'd rather get it done today).

Thanks CL!

Bump... nobody has any input on this!!? It's a boost gauge.

Are you installing this on a Non- F Sport? The only thing i saw available was the Blitz connector.

Yea it's a non F. From what I've read, the blitz adapter just does that, I'd rather not spend $80 and wait 10-80 days for it. My gauge has a sensor already. I just need to tap into a vacuum line and it should be working fine.

Tg22ar

I saw that. Thanks for the input. I just figured more than one person has done it already.

and when is BMS releasing their tune?

Sheddy

Yea i know there's 2 vacuum lines connected to the regulator valve.

No set release date, last time i spoke to them their connectors supplier was behind schedule so once that is resolved they should be out. I think its worth the wait.

Gotcha. Saw your tune post. Where can I get that downpipe from TTi? And I was thinking about the toms power box.

Sheddy

TTI is located in China and they just released an ECU reflash for the 200t's. The downpipe looks really good, they made some decent gains with it, but I am trying to work with them to lower their prices a bit. The Tom's power box is a great product, the power is very smooth and made good numbers on the dyno. You can order it from Nigel-jdmparts.com .

Tg22ar

I sent them an email regarding the downpipe, as that's the only piece I need for a turboback. And the ecu won't "learn" the power boxes signal, correct? Sheddy, you've been a great help. I wish they just had an access port already. I have 16k on her right now. Any other suggestions to pull out a little more get up and go? Plugs, any newly released bolt ons?

We will have the down pipe for IS/RC/NX/RX 200t shortly.
It is made by SARD Racing Japan. (Lexus Racing Team in Japan.)
