Hello all,

 

Just put in my water temp sender and now i need to wire the guage up, at the mo i am having one wire straight to the sender and i am piggy backing into the the illumination wires from my boost guage for the lights on my water guage but my question is .... I have to put a + and - from the water gauge also so can i run these straight to the battery or is there an easier wire i could piggy back into near the drivers side???

 

Cheers,

You could get a feed from the seat motor, but I wouldnt like to do it that way

why dont you piggy back the wires from your boost guage? thats what i have done, all my guages are wired together

80 - 85 celcius ... May go up to 90 celcius when you really shift. Well thats what I reckon ... drove my Zed today for two hours .. hard driving and a bit of a rest. My aftermarket gauge is shit as it doesn't have the correct sensor for the gauge. My stock gauge was perfect as usual ....

 

Blew away a MR2 just for a laugh ... GOD I love my Zed. Shame my temp sensor is a load of shit ...

mine is in fahrenheit or how ever you spell it and mine goes between 175 at normal driving upto about 200-210 in traffic or giving it a bit of stick :)

210 ... hmmmmmm. Doesn't sound right. As long as it goes back down to 175 mate.

 

Luv you car by the way .. thought you had sold it.

i say 210 it prob 200 more like which is just over 90 c so not much difference.

 

Yeh didnt sell and i wont sell for any less so its going no where :)

Thanks Chris and Kirbz, mine is reading 80c so I think it is spot on, does move a little up and down no higer than around 87, just goes to show that the standard gauge aint as accurate as the aftermarket ones.

 

Cheers,
