Oil gauge/cooling Q's

[Just Sean]

Im trying to buy this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mocal-52mm-Oil...53f46530ba from the bay of e. Im unsure what other parts id be after to get this fitted... If i need an oil cooler, which ill presume i will, i would be after a thermostatic thingy too.

Can anyone suggest best way/cheapest way to get everything i need together as looking for it all individually is beyond my understanding and beyond my limited internets capacity!

I had a look at this from pug1off... http://www.peugeot-tuning-parts.co.uk/30...r-kit.html

Would i be able to plumb the gauge into that ordo i need a thermostatic plate with 3 inout/outputs?

Cheers

Id suggest starting with just a gauge mate, otherwise how do you know you need an oil cooer? Due to the high efficiency and lows rev nature of these engines tyere isn't much excess heat and friction to be absorbed, so an oil cooler would be excessive. Bryn ran one on his build and found it cooled the engine too much, even at over 200bhp.

A gearbox oil cooler would be a much better investment imo, running twice as much torque as stock can't be doing the box mamy favours, as dum-dum proved.

As poodle says mate, start with just the gauge. You can get a take off that spaces out the OEM oil pressure sensor and gives you a take off or 2 to put the gauge in. That or you can get one thatll go in the upper oil drain plug in the sump

When I fitted the oil temp gauge to the black HDi after fitting the oil cooler i never got it past 60*C even with a thermo plate



A gearbox cooler would be so cool but would need an external pump. I think a Cryo'd 5th gear is the way forward though
