where do you have it hooked up too?

 

I put my sender in the water neck, right before the thermostat. I drilled and tapped it. Works good for me so far.

where is the water neck located?

 

You want to put it in the water neck coming out of the cylinder head before the radiator

 

The water neck the upper radiator hose is connected to. I believe the flow is in that direction.

 

water flows out from the head into the radiator

 

wtf? why don't you just splice into the 1 wire water temp. sender on the side of the head? you guys actually drill the neck?

 

thanks guys any other suggestions

 

when i did that the voltage from the stock sensor got messed up and caused the car to rev really high. I guess it thought the car was cold. Maybe i did it wrong but oh well. I have a 96 gsr.

 

You want to use the sending unit that came with the guage.

 

thanks man.i am gonna try to tee fo one of the hose pipe connectors.like the one on the intake.

 

Hey guys. I'm looking to hook my water temp. gauge up this weeek. I just took some pics of the locations I think you guys are referring to. My father told me that I can just remove the sensor in the first pic and add the Autometer sender there. He said that is the gauge cluster temp. sensor and I won't need it with the new tempereature gauge. The hose is the lower radiator hose:



Another pic backed out a little:



In the pic below is the location where the upper radiator hose enters the motor:



Correct me if I am wrong. But, from this post there are 2 different locations stated for the water neck location:

Redline130 -- I put my sender in the water neck, right before the thermostat. I drilled and tapped it. Works good for me so far.

speedymon -- The water neck the upper radiator hose is connected to. I believe the flow is in that direction.

My thermostat is located inline with the lower radiator hose.

Thanks for any help!!

BTW >> Motor is a 98 GSR (usdm)

I put mine in between the eacv hoses, I did not feel like drilling into my thermostat housing because then I would need to drain my hole coolant system to make sure no metal shaving were in there. I used a t fitting and some hose attachments so the hose would slip on. I'll post a picture of it later.

Because you won't get an accurate reading by using that sender.

 

Here is how I have mine hooked up.
