Anyone that has installed guages (electrical or mechanical), I got a couple of questions. I got a oil pressure and a water temperature gauges, both are electrical. Where do you put the sending unit for the water temperature at? I heard it is on the back of the head (B16a1) where there is a already plugged hole... is this right? If so, what is the exact size and where can I pick up the meteric fitting adapter for this?
Kinda the same thing for the oil pressure. I heard that it is located next to the oil filter, is this right as well? If so what is the size for the meteric adapter and where can I get this as well? Any help would be much appereceated.

 

Oil its for a mech but it shows location/Size

Heres a little about the water temp kinda mixed on this depending what you are looking for.Also the temp switch is under your dist. I belive its a white plug but dont hold me to it.But hope it helps.

Thanks a lot!

 

Another thought...you could just tap into your cooling hard line on the back of the block for the water temp!

 

Did you do that? How acurate is that? My factory temp guage in my cluster goes stright to the H (hot) as soon as I turn on the car. Thats one reason why I am hooking up guages.

 

are those g35 rims on your car?

 

Yes.

 

unplug the sensor ont he back of the block and if the needle goes down it's the sensor which it really sounds like
