Got the gauges wired up in the car already, Question is what all do I need to do this & is it easy enough done? Here's a pic of the gauges & the engine parts I've already got myself.

JayJ Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Just bolt on the parts and wire sensors? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaddyDutch Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Just bolt on the parts and wire sensors? Cheers for the reply mate. :thumbsup: Was thinking that, just wanted to make sure I've got everything needed before going at it, if you get me. Only need to get wire, from gauges to senders, as mine is cut short on them. Al. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Do you have all the bolts too? Also the short one to block the extra hole on the oil filter leg? This might also help you http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?51371-Oil-Temp-and-Pressure-Sender-Fitment Edited November 4, 2013 by JayJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaddyDutch Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Thanks for the link mate. Only got what's in the photo's.. Do you know what sizes, the one's you're on about are? because I'm hitting my local engineering shop tomorrow for some other bolts I need, I could see if he has them. Also, what's the best wire to use for connecting senders to gauges?? Al. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) The stock one I'm talking about is hex cap bolt, but you can replace it with any M16 x 1.5mm bolt.You can see the bolt on this pictureSome basic multi strand wire should do the job Edited November 4, 2013 by JayJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EP91crazy Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 do you have too buy that adaptor plate to fit a oil pressure gauge ? or can you just buy a universal gauge like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-NEW-2-52mm-OIL-PRESSURE-LED-POINTER-GAUGE-FOR-CAR-TRUCK-AUTO-/181164626722?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a2e40d322 and wire it straight up ? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
