You can't..you have to get another bung put into your downpipe and use the signal from an o2 sensor that will give you a voltage reading ranging from 0 to 1 volts...I used a leftover one from my old Isuzu pickup..
I really don't recommend doing a narrow band, spend the money and get a wideband.

Okay listen. If you hook a ohmeter to the signal wire on your o2 you will see that your sensor operates on a 1.0-1.5 volt signal...if you hook your guage to it, you will be rich all the time..the guage works on a 0-1v signal...so I'm just telling you what I just went through.
