Aftermarket gauges

[theexbrit]

Hi all,

 

I'm just wondering if anyone has added an aftermarket water temp gauge & if so, where did you place the sensor?

 

I found the sensor for the oem gauge (next to the ecu water temp sensor), but the new sensor is way too big (& long) to fit in there.

 

Also, if anyone has added an oil pressure gauge did you use a T & the oem oil pressure sender location or did you put the sender somewhere else?

 

Thnx.

Keep in mind if you use electric gauges the senders are small, if you use a mechanical gauge the senders are a lot bigger. On my sentra for the oil pressure I removed the stock sender and used an adapter in it's place I am running autometer 2 5/8" mechanical gauges. If you do the remote oil filter mount some of them have 2 extra ports you can use one of them to install the oil pressure sender.

 

Not sure for water temp, and I know this doesn't apply to yours but on my sentra the water outlet came pre-tapped on Japanese engines for the sender, so on mine I drilled the area and tapped it for again the mechanical gauge sender, the outlet even had a circle showing where it would have been drilled and tapped.

Thanks.

 

I'll try to fit the gauges next week.
