Oil temp and pressure gauges - Slam Wagon - 08-02-2014

Whos fitted them, where to and what parts/brands did you use? Id like to use mocal gauges if i can find the bits to go with them.

Are there any more useful gauges for a stage2+ hdi? Besides boost which ive already got.

Cheers

Ian

Exhaust has temperature & exhaust manifold pressure are the two more important ones in my view. These are essentially the things that will aid Headgasket Failure & head lift etc.

Too high emp/egt will kill turbos etc too.

Emp is fine as i have an external wastegate, so aslong as thats functioning that will never be too high. EGT is a good shout.

EGT for definate.

With my d turbo I got boost gauge in an a pillar pod and oil temp and pressure and EGT in the stereo slot

RE: Oil temp and pressure gauges - Slam Wagon - 08-02-2014

Any recommended brands that dont cost the world?

RE: Oil temp and pressure gauges - Frosty - 08-02-2014

I went for some mid range ebay 1s. Im pretty happy with them tbh

RE: Oil temp and pressure gauges - Slam Wagon - 08-02-2014

for temp i can tap the sump yes? does anyone know if the top drain plug is low enough for a temp sender? would save tapping the sump. and where about to t into for the pressure?

RE: Oil temp and pressure gauges - mcglynn - 08-02-2014

I dont think the external wastegate reduceds EMP tbh? Its only really used where an actuator is difficult is it not?

I would assume with a hybrid you will still suffer from high emp

I have a oil temp and pressure with sandwich plate of the dturbo. Sure it will go on hdi

RE: Oil temp and pressure gauges - Slam Wagon - 08-02-2014

Make of the bits? pics? all working properly?

RE: Oil temp and pressure gauges - karl1989 - 09-02-2014

Will get pics. Ye all working mate

Get an emp gauge dude, it's essential if you're running these engines with a small turbo, especially after the troubles you've already had.

I sourced myself some Pro-sport 'electronic' gauges. Smoke face with white or orange selectable night illumination.
fitted a sandwich plate (kit-with 3 ports) under the oil filter. All from Ebay.
Initially I'm using a 3 gauge pod on top of the dash, but once I've made the mould, it'll be a 'custom top' to house them in.

Yeah this was sorted a long time ago, cheers though i ended up just going for stack gauges in the end.
