shit lets see i have the following ones egt,boost,oil temp, fuel pressure, oil presssure. I have no where elses to mount, Im going to have to take out one of those. What do you think.

Kelu · « **Reply #2476 on:** February 23, 2011, 06:36:53 AM »

You monitor the low pressure fuel, right?
I would give up on Oil Temp, oil pressure is showing oil temp indirectly.

IBDRINKEN · « **Reply #2477 on:** February 23, 2011, 06:43:31 AM »

well its fuel pressure to be exact, good call on the oil temp

Kelu · « **Reply #2478 on:** February 23, 2011, 06:48:17 AM »

Also I think you can convert oil temp into water temp as far as I know.

Fluid temp sensors are pretty much same and because you have digital gauges than you don't have a value range to limit you in a different range than you want.

IBDRINKEN · « **Reply #2479 on:** February 23, 2011, 06:54:16 AM »

so basically all I would have to do is just buy the new sender and hook it up the oil gauge. Let me ask this Im looking at the senders and not sure which one to get. Here is the link to them

I think sender is same, only fittings might be different, why to buy a new sender if you already have one from your oil temp?
I think you should research about our stock water sender to find out fitting sizes.

Also another idea, why don't you tap your gauge on the stock water sensor?

Thats a great idea and makes more sense. I will do some searching and see what I can find. Thanks again for your help.

No problem mate, I love to help this community, you helped me with gauges in the past too, I was just trying to return the service.

Yogi · « **Reply #2483 on:** February 23, 2011, 12:36:01 PM »

I'd be concerned that 2 instruments on one sender might interfere with each other. The sender works by varying the resistance across 2 wires. Any circuit that you add in parallel with the ECM will have some resistance, and the ECM has some resistance too. So the ECM or the gauge will be reading the total resistance of the sender + the other instrument. It may throw off your readings.

Why not eliminate fuel pressure instead?

Its a tough call..

Avoided a seat belt ticket. Whew!

Drove to work this morning and normally I put my seat belt on right after I back out. But everything was clear and then the couple of lights I go through were green. So as I was putting it on, I see a cop at the intersection. He follows me through the residential area that I cut through. I follow the speed limit and stop at the stop sign. I'm sure that he ran my plate. Thankfully, it's a secondary infraction here so he turned and went to the fire station and left me alone.

Saw another cop as I came down through another residential area. Luckily, I was still driving appropriately. Must be end of the month quota time.

Smartin, don't let me down.
first we buckle up, then we turn the ignition on.
correct???

Drove it in the snow with Michelins PS2, parking in our crowded small spots is far easier now

Ordered some enhancements from Norm for the GXP!!!

Still undecided on the Coupe, but that Rotrex Supercharger looking mighty tasty...

Yogi · « **Reply #2490 on:** February 24, 2011, 01:33:08 PM »

I washed it, waxed it and put a set of Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs on it! WOO HOO!!

SCCA Solo National Tour comes to Houston on March 19-20. Can't wait to see how the Star Specs do on the course!

Nope, it's turn the ignition on, then buckle up while the car is warming up.

Except I got out into traffic before it warmed up!

Mine is sitting all warm, dry and clean in the garage.
gonna wait until the snow melts, it rains to get rid of all the remaining salt and is dry again before he will come back out.

Spent the latter half of the day adjusting my windows to close the gaps at the weatherstripping. Hoping this will reduce the wind noise a little bit.

I took mine for a Short ride after work . Then My key fob stop working and a dealer fixed that one a year ago.

Ordered lots of fun in a DDM kit today!

Taking her in for free service and oil change. At least one good thing came out of the dealerships closing... free stuff!

No wonder we have turbos failing, you trust that they put in the correct oil?
