Just wondering if anyone has this gauge and if they knew whats needed to install it, I'm planning on getting one soon.

 

Someone has to have an oil temp gauge.

i use the defi oil temp gauge in the race car. It just taps to the oil presuure sender on the back of the block.

 

so you just bought the gauge with out any other special hardware? how did you tap it from the back of the block?

 

i have T block that runs -4 line from the pressure unit to a bigger t where the oil pressure gauge temp sensor everything else goes. Mot of the oil temp gauges you can also mount in the oilpan and weld a fitting. My guages come with a control unit as well that in the engine area.

 

On my old CRX I got my oil temp reading from the port on the the remote Oil filter block but I will be taking my Defi oil temp readings from the port on the Moroso oil pan. A lot of people over here use an adapter on the oilpan drain plug.

 

I have a defi oil temp gauge (actually, all of the defi gauges). I think the best place to put it is in the oil pan. All I did was drill and tap a hole for the sender, and it has yet to leak. The oil pan isn't very thick, so tapping a hole directly into isn't the best idea - I'll probably get some fittings welded into it in the future.

 

ok thanks, does defi have a web site?

 

do a search under my name i posted some links a week ago

but i think cheapest is from godspeed.hack.net
btw. the control unit is included if u buy the boost gauge.
