I have changed my Gauages again for better looking ones.

The 3 new guages


New Water Temp Guage


New Oil Temp Guage


New Oil Press guage (Not in PSI nor Bar but in Kg/cm2)
[1 kilogram-force/square centimeter = 14.223 343 334 pound/square inch]


Now and this is interesting for me and possably others out their wiht the same guages (Water temp, Oil, Temp and Oil Press) can confirm this.

My Oil Press workes well being high on start up (6 to 7 on my guage [85 to 99 PSI] but when the engin is hot is is aroun 1 [14 PSI]

The Water temprature is a lot faster that the oil temp with the oil only getting to 100 C at the end of 20 to 30 minutes of driving.
On my guages the water temp varies from 87.5 to 92.5 C and so far the highest reading on the oil is 100 C

Any one want to compare reading with me?



Hay deluzions call me abou my old guages as well as changing your Air Con units (I'll even do them in read well blue ones for the cold part of the temp setting)

Nice job mate!
waiting for new mods from you
cheers

Thank you Gyprus_GT

I'm changing the Air Con unit for Smiley'95 GT-4 Hatchback.

Once I have a better finish (My one was 1st go and a bit of a mess) I'll be posting a how to.

Hey nice dials.

kg/cm2 is similar to bar as 1 bar is also between 14 to 15 psi.

my boost gauge reads x100 kPa (which is bar)

that would be the thermostat.

Hey does the rise of your water temp gauge match the rise of your stock gauge? I keep to 1/8th of the pedal until the stock temp gauge gets half way

Yes I'm loving my guages.....

Got a complement about them from VTNZ when I woffed my Car on the week end.

My stock water temp is on the block and the After market is on the Radiato Pipe so they are out of sync untill the thermostat opens.

With the guages showing me tempratures I do not hit the gas pedal hard untill I have at least 60 on the oil temp.


Come on over this week end to have a look.

PS. I have the 52mm guages that I first installed if you are intrested (With your turbo you should have these guages)
You will have to look at getting http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-239519305.htm
and http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-240593491.htm

These are what I've used and I installed in about 2 houres (Good clen looks OEM instalation - I'll be putting up photos soon)
