anybody know how to fit a water temp gauge

[derwinmd]

have a water temp gauge and im tryin to fit it but not really sure where the termostat should be tapped into.. all i got with the gauge was a 1/2" bushon and a 3/4" bushon which the termostat screws into and the bushon screws into something else in the engine bay.. anybody know what it screws into...?

you'll need to get a "T" piece that taps into one of the rad hoses.

Or get part welded into the water system. ON my S14 I used a sensor in the water outlet elbow by the CAS.

you need a 32mm top hose adapter like this http://www.rspec.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=87_88&products_id=386
then just cut a section of the hose out and fit this in its place with 2 jubilee clips. make sure the threaded hole is tapped to the same as the sensor and use ptfe when fitting the sensor in.:thumbs:
