Do you tee off the existing ECT sensor? If so, what fittings did you use?

Thanks,

Darin D.

The water jacket on the head is where i put mine. It's the best place since the water jacket is easy to take off. Theres plenty of space on the water jacket to drill and tap for the sensor.

I just replaced the stock one in the head with the aftermarket one. Then I ran two seperate wires from it. One being the stock wire and the other wire going to the aftermarket guage. HTH

Where can I find out about this aftermarket sensor? I might need one and a gauge.

It should come with whichever gauge you decide to get. I have an Autometer guage and it came with one.

Thanks for the info guys, keep them coming.

Ryan, do you mean the signal from the aftermarket sensor also feeds the stock gauge?

I'm in the process of trying something out and here's my idea. I'm currently using an Autometer oil temp gauge (100-250F) which is mounted on a triple pillar pod. The Autometer water temp gauge is also 100-250F and uses the exact same sensor. I can buy a new sensor separately for $14 without buying the complete gauge set. Since I don't have anymore room to add another gauge pod or want to spend more money to get a cluster bezel, I can simply add a switch between the two temp sensors and the existing oil temp gauge. Once it's hookup, I should be able to toggle which temp reading to monitor. What do you think?

did it work???

Post some pics of where you installed the sensors.

Head of the water jacket. I drilled and tapped right below the feed line on top.

What do you think?</TD></TR></TABLE> ....ok...start by swapping the stock sensor with the aftermarket one.....after you have it all hooked up like stock (but with the aftermarket sensor in place) run another wire from the sensor to the aftermarket guage. Easy as that. As far as the other idea goes....seems like it might work to me.... Hope this helped rather than confused...but by the looks of the date you probrably already figured it out.

Thanks for the info. I am on this project now .

Greddy sensor drilled and tapped into thermostat housing. Still using oem sensor in stock location.

Can we put the sensor between the hose that goes from the head to the radiator? Will that be just as accurate?

I teed mine off from the throttle body coolant line. It was really easy and only took $5 worth of parts and 10 minutes of my time.
