Gauges ??

[Banbury Glanza]

I have a boost gauge in my car atm and have just got a two pod pillar pod just wondering what other gauge to get ? Is it just personal preference or do I need one more than another ? Cheers

I would say........................oil pressure

surely your not stupid to give the car some when its cold so any temp gauges arent needed at this stage and oil pressure is very important

[Banbury Glanza]

Haha no not stupid enough lol :/ ok mate cheers

[mattyD]

or are you......................

what kind of make are you looking at? being an oil pressure gauge its quite important to have a decent one

I have boost, oil and water temp just to make sure its not getting too hard under hard driving. Hoping to get oil pressure when i manage to source a gauge

[Hawwy]

Thanks for thread i was wondering same too

But do the oil /water temp gauges come with sensors must be hard to install sensors?

[Banbury Glanza]

Hahaha I'm looking at the STRI gauges from TD, but just looking about atm

[Wardy]

Ive just ordered oil temp, oil pressure and boost in bar. You will have to get a sandwich plate for your oil pressure and tempreture probes to connect into

[Banbury Glanza]

Ok cheers lads I will have a look for oil pressure gauges and plumbings lol

[Wardy]

I went for depo racing which im assured are a good make

Depo FTW

Oooooooooooooooo good choice sir, that what I have got

With regards to fitting of the sensors, there is a way you can plumb them in to the engine itself! I shall try and find the thread.............

A sandwich plate would probably be the easiest option though

[Banbury Glanza]

Ok that's sexy

[StarletMad]

Im sure theres adapters on fleebay that allow you to do this.

I have oil pressure, water temp, volts, oil temp, boost and boast controller depo gauges off cj performance, can't fault them at all and have a peak/warning.

[Hawwy]

Where is sandwich plate available and do u get the sensor with gauge or get seperately

[mattyD]

what do you mean where is sandwich plate??

the sensors do come with the gauges indeed, well at least the ones I have had did

[Banbury Glanza]

Im sure theres adapters on fleebay that allow you to do this.

Adapters for what ?

[Broony]

Oil temp as that's what you want up to temperature not just your water but if you can I would go boost, oil temp, oil pressure and water temp as the stock water gauge is gash!

[Hawwy]

Okay but how about water temp do they come with sensor and where it places

[Azz]

You need an adapter to fit into your radiator pipe mate that will sort water temp

[Hawwy]

Where can they be had?

So need sandwich plate

Oil temp gauge that comes with sensor

Oil pressure sensor - where does this go

Sorry for thread hijack

[mattyD]

^^what he said

and the sandwich plate places between you oil filter housing and oil filter

[Banbury Glanza]

Think I'm going to get oil pressure first

[Hawwy]

What about oil pressure then
