Installing gauges

[DogAteCat]

Looking at installing some gauges into my integra for aesthetic and practical purposes.

I'd like to ask: which gauges are the easiest to install as I would be DIYing it (never done it before). So far I've listed voltmeter as the easiest, possibly oil pressure gauge and vacuum gauge would be useful although I have not a clue where to tap it. The gauges are from ebay btw :)

I've heard from a few others that it is best to get an auto electrician to do it however from the electricians I have called around, they charge $100+

If you have any DIY articles on this please post links ! :)

all depends on what u want to view? and where you will be placing them?

oil pressure
oil temp
voltage
vacuum

theyre all pretty pointless having... less your a trackstrr

They going to put in front of the clock space above the air vents in the middle.

Guess i'll go for oil pressure, oil temp and voltage as they will be the least hassling to install?

I am taking my car to the tracks.... but only 8 laps of fun :(

if you know how to install the oil pressure gauge, you can installed the oil temperature gauge.
You need to buy a part called "oil sandwich plate", this is installed where your oil filter is.

The oil sandwich plate have the sender sensor to your gauge, than you should able to get the oil temp and pressure.

Water temperature gauge is connect to the Radiator hose, you need to buy a hose adapter.
