Im thinking of getting a panel with a couple of extra gauges in for under my radio. My question is this....

1. How would i go about making an oil temp gauge work? How would i wire the sensor for the temp in, and to what???

2. Same as above but an oil pressure gauge??

TIA

1. install temp sensor in oil line

2. install pressure gauge in oil line (best to T off where the oem oil pressure sensor is)

got any more desciptions ie which pipe in pics possibly??

Was looking into this myself........on my engine (AUB petrol) I would be removing the OEM oil pressure sensor from the engine block and put a T piece (or extending T piece) depending on the clearance around it....

....then for the oil temp sensor I was either going to put an adaptor block on the oil filer and use that...but was told the best place to fit the temp sensor is in the sump....so either drill and thread a hole...OR get a sump plug with a thread cut in the center fo the sensor!!!
