Default Hole for aftermarket Water Temp sensor??

I am looking for a spot to mount the water temp sender in the block. I want to leave the stock one though. Are there any holes that I could use to get the water temp? I searched through my FSM. I could not find any extra holes. Only the ones for the stock ECT sensors.

thanks

You can get one of these:

You can get them at Pegasus for $30, Greddy also makes one I think, but it costs a little more for the same thing.
The other option would be to tap number 11 in the picture below:

The JDM H22 is not already tapped here. You could also just buy that piece as it is only $15 from SL Honda.

Yea, you would just drill a hole, then put threads in the hole with the appropriate size tap. You would basically be making the $15 dollar stock piece, but if you have the tools it would be free

If I had a JDM harness I could use the inlet. I have the USDM inlet that already has a sensor in it. But just the motor only

Oh yea, I forget the P13 uses that sensor. I am running on Hondata/P28, and don't have that sensor, nor is my inlet tapped. I just ran my Greddy gauge to the stock sender's location, but you said you didn't want to do that. Sorry for the confusion

Its all good. When I get a chipped ECU, I can just do something similar to your setup. Thanks for the help.
