How hard is it to install the following gauges on a 97 4runner 2.7L ?

Coolant gauge ?

Oil temp gauge/pressure ?

Transmission Gauge ?

Transmission cooler ?

Are thse do it yourself jobs or a shop job.

 

All of these are easy installs and don't require a shop.

I used a sandwich adapter (sits between the engine and the filter) to install an oil pressure gauge. The adapter I used has two 1/8 bpt ports and a M12 port, so you could use it to run oil temp and pressure gauges. For coolant gauge, you can also buy an adapter that splices into your radiator hose that has a port for a temp probe. For the transmission cooler, follow the instructions on the Yotatech tech pages.

Here's a pic of my oil filter sandwich adapter:

 

Wow, the 4Runner doesn't have the guages already?

 

Where'd you pick that adapter up?

Looks perfect to run oil up to a turbo, as well as having two ports for sensors.

 

With all those gauges you should also get a EGT gauge. That will tell you how your engine is running.

 

EGT ? Was is that ?

 

The adapter is a Greddy oil block adapter, picked it up from www.nipponpower.com for $65. You can also get similar ones from Summit Racing for cheaper.

And it is perfect for running a -3AN oil feed for a turbo -- that's what I did also have a oil pressure gauge on it.

 

Exhaust Gas Temperature. It's a great way to see just how well your engine is running.
