marcus Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 u get all the fitting kits??? i was caught out with this, i paid 50 for the fuel pressure gauge then another 30-40 on parts i need to connect it etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidykart Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 As said earlier geordie, I got a vaccum gauge, and I purely have it for the fact that it moves when ya changing gear. I know it sounds sad, but me mates at work love it and I do when I'm driving. My other gauge is infact a voltage gauge, I had that put in to see what voltage I've got when the engine is turned off and I'm either playing a DVD for ages or listening to music for ages- say at a cruise. But it's all good fun and gives it a more racier feel- I think. I did read somewhere that the vacuum gauge can also show when your valves are beginning to wear- something like that- again a load of bolloc*s.

geordie_aaron Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 well f1ack said that everything comes with it needed apart from wire (which is no deal for power source) well it doesn, but wont be long enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 yes but thats meant to, the voltage one would dim and look crap and bounce down with the bass haha where as the vacuum goes with the engine<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why don't you get a 'cool' dump valve speaker to go with it? den u wil b wkd innit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidykart Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I would if I knew mate, the bloke who put the gauge in for me showed me how to install it cause I was interested and I can't remember what he did and where he put it. All I know is it goes near the carb, that's all I can remember sos I don't knwo more. This is the best I could do, all I know is that he cut this tube I have circled and installed the device between the tubing, ytou can just see the device (or thing that reads the vaccum-not technically minded)- this then measures the vaccum.

simonh1 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Your vaccuum guage needs a tube running from it to one of the vaccuum lines running off your inlet manifold, ideally the one that goes from the fuel pressure regulator to the manifold, cut and insert a 'T' piece. Now the oil temperature guage will be a right pain in the ass, you have 2 options:- 1, you fit an oil cooler and some where along the pipe that runs to the cooler you cut it and insert a temerature sensor in an adapter. 2. you cancel the order and get a pressure guage instead.

Ex-Finesse Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 1, you fit an oil cooler and some where along the pipe that runs to the cooler you cut it and insert a temerature sensor in an adapter.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Bad idea imo..... if you were to stick a proper oil cooler in, I reckon you'd end up cooling the oil excessively!!

geordie_aaron Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 hm...HOPFULYL that sensor your on about si comes with the gauge..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonh1 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 hm...HOPFULYL that sensor your on about si comes with the gauge.....<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I doubt it very much mate, it cost me over £450 for my 4 guages including the various sensors, the oil cooler and fitting kit etc.....
