Great video as always! A good day when I see your upload aha. Liking the intro graphic! I also love AEM guages haha. Loving the build as you know! Wiring always scares me aha. Great work.
Thanks buddy appreciate the comments. AEM do have the prettiest gauges dont they, really want all my gauges AEM but they're pricey. Yeah wiring can be a pain in the arse sometimes.
Everybody forgets the brown wire.... Also, try to never start the engine, after the gauge has already gone though the sensor heat cycle. The sensor "warms" up to over 1400F. When you hit it with a blast of cold ( and, usually wet ) startup exhaust, you cause fractures in the sensor's ceramic element. This is what sends most aftermarket WB sensors to an early grave.
Interesting, never thought about that but it makes perfect sense. Just curious why this doesn't happen with the stock sensor since it also starts heating as soon as the key is turned on? Or does it?
@@averyalexander2303 It does not. The car's ECU waits until the engine is started to begin heating wideband sensors. Easy, since it KNOWS when the engine is running :)
@@lordandprotector I just checked the wiring diagram for my OEM o2 sensor and did some tests and I stand corrected. I assumed that the sensor started heating as soon as the key is turned on since the o2 sensor heater relay is activated as soon as the key is turned on, but that assumption was incorrect since the sensor's heater is grounded through the ECU and it turns out the ECU doesn't ground the heater until the engine is running. The more you know 👍
@15:20 are you referring to the brown connecting to the earth on the Kpro wiring itself or that analog adapter you added that has a black wire probably serving as ground?
I plug a connector into the ecu in the beginning of the video in that bunch of wires there is 2No ground wires. I think either but it should say ground on the board. That's where your second ground goes to or brown wire.
i did the wiring but for some reason when i go to analog inputs there's nothing in the drop down menu. doesn't say any inputs are there. it's just blank
Great tutorial! Quick question though. Does the AEM wideband actually read any differently than the stock wideband does in Kpro? Is it more accurate or something? I have a K swapped Civic too and I'm thinking about getting an AEM AFR gauge, but I'm not sure if I even need to since my Scangauge shows the air fuel ratio from the stock wideband anyways. Thanks
Thank you, I only installed a wideband as I had one laying about. Realistically I don't need one with being pretty much stock power, although it'd be handy if I boost it to check on AFRs, if your stock power I wouldn't bother really unless you wanted to keep an eye on your afrs
You can actually put the brown wire (analog input -) on to the analog input socket name GND while having the white wire (analog input +) on to the analog 0 input.
Where’d you wire the black ground ? I know you said the brown ground goes in the ecu ground pin, but the black one ? Did you ever think about merging them together
The black earth went to an earth wire, but you can ground to the chassis. Don't merge the black and brown wires together, they need to be separate earth's.
@@FlawlessCulture thank you for confirming that , I’m actually on my way to do the black wire and run it to the thermostat ground and then I’ll put the brown on the ecu. 🤞🏽hopefully it works fine . I was having that issue with the gauge reading at 9.5 the other day and my smanager reading differently thank you
@@FlawlessCulture I hope this fixes my issue . So I’m going to run the black to the thermostat housing and then the brown to the ground pin out off the ecu . Should work right ? Lol
Ahh. Perfect. Was looking for a good tutorial. Installing the same one in my EG.
I hope it helps you bro
loved the video! and thanks for plugging us as always 😘😍
Thank you and no problem what so ever.

As Sep/25/2023 still WORKING

Ha ha glad I’m not the only one. Thank you for your advice, I will take that on board.

@@lordandprotector is it anywhere on the chassis for the brown ground or is there a ideal location for it ?
@15:20 are you referring to the brown connecting to the earth on the Kpro wiring itself or that analog adapter you added that has a black wire probably serving as ground?
Brown wire goes to the gnd on the Kpro.
Hey great video. Did you literally run a ground wire to the case of the ECU or is there a ground connection inside you connected to?
I plug a connector into the ecu in the beginning of the video in that bunch of wires there is 2No ground wires. I think either but it should say ground on the board. That's where your second ground goes to or brown wire.
great video. which wire on the ecu is earth
nvm i see it's labeled "GND"
i did the wiring but for some reason when i go to analog inputs there's nothing in the drop down menu. doesn't say any inputs are there. it's just blank
Where did u get that plug with wires that goes into the ecu
It came with the ecu mate
Does it go where the primary lambda sensor was and then a bunch where the secondary one was
Yes it replaces your primary and you can turn off the secondary O2 sensor.
Great tutorial! Quick question though. Does the AEM wideband actually read any differently than the stock wideband does in Kpro? Is it more accurate or something?

Brown wire goes to ground on ecu
You can actually put the brown wire (analog input -) on to the analog input socket name GND while having the white wire (analog input +) on to the analog 0 input.

@@jritefrom56 yeah I had exactly the same issue until I ran the brown wire to the ecu earth.

Hi I have a Civic eg with k20 from Uk ep3. Which configured I have to use on kpro manager?
You'll need the Civic Type R - PRA and the K20a2 civic type r factory.kal, thats what I used.
