Has anybody added guages to their boxes (i know ppl have).
i am wondering where you tapped into for the signal senders?

oil temp. ???
oil pressure. ???
i have heard of using the greddy oil block adapter for these. are there any other options??

water temp. ???

thanks

 

I have the oil temp and oil pressure units in my XB. I just used the Greddy oil block adapter for those. As far as the Water temp gauge goes, you can buy and adapter or you can buy the hose that has the bung in it already.

 

that hose a toyota part??? do you know the part #???

 

It's not a Toyota part but here is a link:

Here's a pic of my water temp setup:

Yeah I was thinking about that piece also. It's $19.99 + shipping but you have to cut your factory hose in half to use it.

 

whats with the 10 ga. wire??
do you need to ground it? or is that your signal wire?

 

Wow, those are really nice, and alot cheaper than the HKS one I have in my Matrix.

 

You didn't know about that unit squirrel :?:

 

The 10 gauge wire is overkill; it fits in the large lug best. I doubled it over, crimped it, then soldered it.

Yes, you need to ground it with the black wire. The adapter has a grounding nut; but I judged it too weak in design and did not use it.

The positive wire attaches to the top nut of the sender unit. :D RPM
