Does anyone have a link or instruction manuals on how/where to fit oil pressure and oil temp on an sti please??

Thanks in advance

 

Go to http://www.defi-shop.co.uk click on Defi-Link System then How to Install

 

I've had a look on their website but I was wondering if anyone had any Subaru specific instructions? Also where do I connect my boost gauge sensor to as all the tappings on the inlet manifold are taken?

 

Put a shout out for Bah!
He has some great instructions which i used for fitting my Defis

 

www.chiark.co.uk
The oil temp sender goes into the tapping on top of No3 cylinder, which has a large headed blanking plug in it. It's an 8mm hex, so you need a LONG strong key. Mine was £8.
No3 cylinder is o/s rear.
Then an adaptor for said tapping to take the Defi sender, a further £8 from Scoobymania.
To install the adaptor space is tight, so I removed intercooler, (you'll need it off to access the blanking plug too), then temporarily "threaded" the adaptor onto a ball-point pen outer, and started it in it's threads, finishing with a socket.
Use PTFE tape on it's threads and the sender threads for a good seal.
Oil pressure goes in the oil pressure switch hole behind the alternator.
Chiark's site has excellent instructions for moving the alternator, and the sender goes as a direct replacement for the o/p switch, which is redundant. PTFE tape again helps.

As far as the boost gauge, my Defi's came with a T-piece, which You could use to T into the front n/s pipe from the inlet manifold. On mine, there was a rubber blanking piece on it, so no pipe, and I didn't need the T-piece.

Hope this is of help.
Mail me if you need more.

Cheers for the help and info alcazar, gettin them next week so I'll order and adaptor and try n fit them. With my boost gauge tho I already have all the tapping points taken up by other things B.O.V etc so where do I attach that?

Thanks again, Chris

If you've used up the tappings, you'll have to T into one of those in use.
Pick whichever one is the best diameter pipe for the T-piece, they'll all give much the same reading.
Your defis will have a T piece with them.
