haha... didn't see this thread... thats my crx :P

yes - oil pressure moves up and down as you rev the engine.

and yes - these are the autogauge smoked series.

cool, i went with the Defi BF
now i might think about the oil pressure next :D:D hehe

'wank' factor aside - these gauges are actually very usefull. in terms of stock sensors - it can sometimes take a sensor a little too late to show up on the dash, that its low on oil or water temp is high.

when my top radiator tank was leaking, and temp was getting high my pillar temp gauge showed an increase in temperature to gangerous degrees before the 'stock cluster gauge' even moved.

I highly recommend to anyone to install these... not because they look pretty at night with all the lights on but because they actually do work!

Yeah i wanna get water temp, oil temp, and pressure!! (oil pressure that is)

Not sure if to hide them or have them on the pillar??
They are totally usefull! I had a water temp in my ol sprinter and it awsome just to get an accurate reading espicially on hot days

How would you tap a line for oil temperature and pressure? Do you have to plumb in a temperature sensor into the sump and pressure sensor into the oil line?

Not 100% sure off the temperature but I know the Pressure runs off thesame area where normal pressure sensor is: on the CRX its above the oil filter.

An oil pressure gauge should come with a sensor supplied.

It would be also possible to measure temperature off thesame area i'd imagine... but I think it could be tapped into the oil cooler pipe which runs through your radiator... can someone confirm this?

Just checked my service manual and found the pressure switch to use for the oil pressure gauge. But I still have no idea about where to plumb the temperature sensor.

if you want to do it on ur euro, do it really properly dude.

oil pressure will move according to your accelerator being pressed (so yeah, it move really often) it's important too.
oil temp and water temp will come up slowly as the they r heating up.
hope this helps

yep... thanks :D i got mine intake manifold done tonight. post some photo tomorrow :D and once i get some money i will think about those 3 :D

Yep just go monster tach...or even the smaller rpm tacho's..but wot they said ^^^ Don't ruin a beautiful car..keep it nice ;-)
