Considering Aftermarket Temp gauge, any suggestions?
Like the thread title says,I'm considering an aftermarket temp gauge to supplement my cooling system upgrades and keep my car that much safer. Does anyone have any brand or type recommendations, and what all is involved in installing one?
Thanks, TW

I use a Cyberdyne gauge (Skynet upgrade available for an additional charge.)

I have an autometer sport-comp temp gauge which works well and isn't too expensive.

I installed the sensor in the top radiator hose (using an adapter thing of course) so I didn't have to remove and tap the water pump housing. The bad part about this is that I don't get a reading from the autometer until after the engine warms up and the thermostat opens. My stock gauge works fine, so it's not really a problem unless the thermostat and stock gauge fail at the same time.

I have been using them in my old school RX-3s, FB and former FC for years. stay away from sunpro, autogage or any water temp gage. the unit is not sealed, it will pick up additional heat from the engine bay so the temp is not very accurate

sunpro and autogage's lines have wire-looms for protection but its not sealed like the equus, vdo and autometer
its the black one, runs from firewall to back of water pump housing

gauges in one of my RX-3. I chose the black faced ones to match with orig gauges (purchased at kragen for less than $60 for triple gauge)
