Check out scionfx web site for the oil and water gauges. They sell AC Autotecnic adapters for both. For the oil there is an adapter that screws between the oil filter and engine block, You then screw senders for both oil pressure and temp into this. AC also makes an adapter for water temp. You cut the upper radiator hose in half and clamp the adapter in-line. The sender screws into this. You probably want to use a thread sealant on this one. Mine had a small leak until I put some sealant on it. BTW Greddy also makes an oil gauge sender adapter, but I don't have any experience with that one. Not sure about the best place to splice for the volt meter. Perhaps run a direct line from the battery through the firewall. Your gonna have to go through the firewall for the other gauges anyways,
