I just got a water temp gauge from Autometer. What's a good place to put the temperature sender? Is there a simple place I can just screw it into?

I HAVE NO IDEA :fruit:

Post whore much?

If you're running a single turbo setup and not the stock twins, you can modify the upper water pipe to accept a sensor (or two). I have one that I modified with two 1/8NPT bungs in place of the stock nipples (one's plugged, the other for the sensor)...it's polished and looks great.

If you're interested in saving time with that approach, let me know -- I'm selling this one as I've already modified a second one for a slightly different project I'm doing now.

If you've got a metal upper radiator pipe, you could modify that. If not, you'll probably have to use the metal pipe that comes out of the block that already has the two stock water temp sensors in it.

Do a search, there was a post from Axoman about this.

Just use the stock water temp sensor hole. My Defi sensor screwed right in for a perfect fit.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was hoping to keep my stock temp gauge as well but it doesn't sound like the quickest fix. Life sucks when you're in med school and have zero free time.

also David I pmed you..

The BLITZ® Cooling Performer is constructed out of 2 ply silicone and was designed to replace the upper radiator hose of specific vehicles. The Cooling performer also an additional tap to simplify the installation of a water temperature gauge.

I have the blitz hose works very well i must say .

 

[Craig King]

Couldn't you just tap into either a solid radiator hose or the rad itself? :dunno:

 

[DavidTRD]

The biggest issue I saw was material thickness. From there, you have the 'depth' of the sensor once installed. There's definitely a few ways of solving this problem though, that's for sure.

Do you mean the upper sensor hole? That would be great if the defi temp sensor will fit right in!


Thanks!

Yep it fits right there on the top sensor.

I'll be testing more tomorrow.

hi

does anyone have a picture of where the stock sensor is as i want to fit my sensor in place, or can you describe where it is?

thanks
