Thinking I should get an oil temp gauge. I'd prefer electric; any recommendations? Preferably under $100. Has to be accurate, I presume this would eliminate APC and the like. Maybe Racetech?



Where would the sensor mount?



thx

autometer? there is a few different ways to mount the sensor

racing beat adaptor



or you can tee it in with the stock oil pressure sender

How much difference would there be in accuracy between an electric and mechanical gauge? I would think that by the time the oil gets through the tube to the gauge it would be all cooled off. I'm just wondering because sportcarmotion sells an HKS unit that would suit me nicely (small, and silver dial with red numbers would match my interior) but it is mechanical.

i like electrice ones, cause you dont have to run a line full of hot oil into the car



mike

 

yeah that is a big advantage

Anyone know where to get A-pillar mounts for a first gen?



J

 

Also what the temp range should be - the Auto Meter Ultra Light comes in 100-250 and 140-300?

Thats what I want to know too.DirectFreak has one in his 84 SE and I want a 3 guage mount for my A-pillar.2 guage would do too but I like the looks of 3 guages hanging off the side.

 

i had the 100-250 in my fd and i would get 140-300 next time, the fd would peg the gauge

*NEWS FLASH*



Directfreak uses the FC a-pillar mounts, says they fit with a little heat gun treatment. Apparently the 89-91 CRX mounts work as well. These are from Autometer.
