Aftermarket oil pressure gauge
 
well i want to get a couple of gauges actually, oil temp, oil pressure and water temp, if i were to get these how would i install them, and do i have to have some kind of adapters for installation. thanks for the help

Well...

For the oil press and oil temp you can get a gauge pod holder, autometer makes one to hold 2 52mm gauges,and they have another one to hold a single 52mm gauge unless you plan on putting them elsewhere..as far as the oil temp and oil press gauge go..you can get a Oil Pressure and temperature Adapter,racing beat( and dave gibson of fc3s.org make one,greddy also makes one.this way the stock oil pressure gauge will still function. As far as the water temp gauge goes,others may have better suggestions but greddy makes a water temp sensor adaptor that goes inline with the rad hose for about $30,i only seen this on greddy japan



racing beat

do a qucick search on gauges just to give yourself of more options regarding the water temp gauge,this is going to be my setup..

goodluck

There was just a topic about water temp sensor location on the FC list.

Someone spliced in a brass fitting at the BAC hose for water temp sender.

I had also emailed Dave today to find out when the regular polished oil pedestal will be back in. It will be awhile, so I'll have to settle on the red or blue anodized ones. I prefer the FC3S.org (Dave Gibson) design as it only utilizes two o-rings like the stock set-up, instead of four like RB, Mazdatrix. Two more o-rings is just two more things to go wrong someday.

ya get the oil filter thing from www.fc3s.org to install the oil presure / temp.

Don't know about the oil ones but I got an autometer water temp gauage for my car.

I got an electrical one. I placed the sensor in the bung for the usually nonexistant electric cooling fan.

It's on the back of the waterpump spout(Before the thermostat). It needs an adapter but you don't need to drill/tap a location.

Also removing the alternator makes installation in this spot much easier.

I bought an iEquus from Oriley's just the other day and I'm impressed with the quality to was a 2 1/16" triple gauge kit with Oil press, volts, and Water temp with the gauge holder for 40 bucks, I use the stock location for the oil pressure sender and used the bung on top of the water neck for the water temp, look really nice above my cd player I'll post pics later tonight

ok the FC3S.org pedestal's have a place for pressure and temp?? that will work for that, now for water, should it be mounted in the spot for the electric fan?? since no water hits it and its just the metal temp?? i dont know if that would work so well, but maybe. any other ideas for water temp sensor placement??
