Reply With QuoteI did my boost gauge, it was easy just took a little time. If i can do it you'll be able too. Water temp and oil pressure hmmm that might be a little harder.
Is there anyhow to's for them?
OK, gotta get off my ass and get my gauges in. How hard is it or am ibetter taking it to someone who actually knows what theyre doing? Don't want to stuff anything up. Fitting water temp, boost and oil pressure.

Unsure of the best place for a water temp gauge on these engines but on my CRX i got the sensor for the gauge tapped into the top housing of th radiator hose, just near the thermostat.
And regarding the oil pressure gauge i installed a sandwhich plate between my oil filter and my block. Gave me 4 threads to run sensors/oil lines from for what ever i needed. I currently have my oil temp + oil pressure sensors in there and the other two are sealed with the provided blanks.
Very easy to do with the sandwhich plate, only other thing is running wires, mounting the gauges and connecting some wires.
Just depends on how confident you are in pulling apart your car and cutting a few wires. Its not hard, and is easy to learn if you don't know how. Theres plenty of info regarding basic automotive wiring on the internet so theres no reason why you can't teach yourself if you haven't already.
Its good fun, I enjoyed doing mine.
Heres some pics to go with my post:

Thaks guys! I think the sanwhich plate might be the go. The gauges are sitting in a replacement trim ready to go in, all i have to get is the t-peice for the boost and the sanwahich plate then i guess.

you'll need to find somewhere to put your water temp sensor too. These are available as well but aren't as good as other options. They definately do the job though:
They just sit inline with your radiator hose to get the sensor reading.
NOTE: That second picture isn't my engine bay, if my engine bay got that dirty i'd shoot myself.! haha
Are they any good...at the moment on my H i've basically tapped into the thermo housing and mounted my sensor there...a bit of dicking around to get it in the right position but that spacer you put in the pipe looks sweet...didn't know you could get stuff like that....have you got one are the any good?
sorry to hijack the thread nurb
no i don't run one of those radiator ones. I've got my water temperature sensor tapped into my thermostat housing. On the engine side of the top radiator hose.
My two oil sensors are in an oil sandwhich plate.
lol, no probs, was gonna ask the same question you didOriginally Posted by ROCCO

That's a very simple, but very neat looking triple gauge install there above Jason - I like it, well done
