I installed my t-stat housing temp-probe mod this weekend







horrible camera-phone pics, I know... but there's not a whole lot to take pictures of really

and I just realised the thread title is missing a letter... it reads "a long last", it's suppose to say "at long last"... mod, please change?

 

Sweet! I got my guage pillar, now I need guages

 

if I had to do it again, I'd pony up the dough and get full electric gauges... it'll make the install a lot easier...

maybe I'll upgrade later on, but I just thought I'd throw that out there

 

I would if I could......

 

Im defantly going electric. But i probibly won't be able to afford the autometer gauges I want ($200 a pop ). I will probibly go with a cheaper electric. Still not %100 on the last guage I want to run ( temp, oil pressure and.....?).

 

yeah, a lot of gauges are freek'n outrageously expensive for some reason... I don't get it...

 

oil temp?

 

Go with VDO gauges:



These are less the $30 a piece and work great! They're electrical too, but you have to buy senders seperately. Simple, effective and work great in your a-pillar pods.

Bleeder it looks great!!!!

 

you guys ever seen the guages where you pretty much design the guage on your computer with a usb cord? its insane haha, you can do so many things

 

I dunno if I really need that.. Water temp should be good enough right?


I kinda wanted full sweep guages... And the temp needs to be in celcius.. Im canadian I can't understand your funky temp measuring system..

 

go voltmeter. Monitor your charging system and know if there is a problem before you get totally drained.

I run volts, oil pressure and trans temp (auto trans). When I get to feeling like I need more than the stock temp gauge I can run another sensor through a dual switch and swap back and forth between trans temp and coolant temp.

Volt meters are pretty basic, but if you really want to see how your charging system is working use an ammeter.

 

22r oil sending thread pitch is retarded, none of the adapters that come with sunpro, FAZE, or anything are a direct fit, apparently autometer has the right adapter? this is my hold up.

 

hmm good point, if i only had a turbo i could have a boost guage =(

 

Threadjack

Oil Pressure, Boost, and EGT. Not pictured, on the other side of the steering wheel are water temp, and fuel pressure. All electronic peak and hold

 

crazy lookin interior!

 

seriously... what am I looking at???

 

not sure what it is, but i would say its right hand drive, by the picture.

 

maybe the Supra in his sig???
