Smile My03 Gauges

Hi All,

Looking to get oil temp, oil pressure and boost gauges installed into my 03sti.

Which brand would you recommend and why?

Cheers,

J

Someone on p1woc recomended r-spec gauges they looked great so went for a set of those myself 3 gauges and pod cost around £220 to 250 all in they come with everything apart from the sandwhich plate. The guy who fitted them couldnt beleive how good they were for the price. have a look on youtube at them. Not as good as the defis but if your not worried about recording info from them then they are a great buy.

It's covered by a plug, also threaded, with an 8mm Allen Socket on top. The plug is about 25mm across, and located on top of cylinder No3, which is rear-most cylinder, driver's side. You can see it if you look down in front of the intercooler to one side of the turbo inlet pipe.
It needs a LONG 8mm Allen key to get it out, and an adaptor, available from loads of places, to fit your sender. Use PTFE tape to seal both adaptor and sender.

No3 cylinder runs hottest, apparently, so it's the place Subaru choose for the oil temp.

Oil PRESSURE sender should be placed in the threaded hole for the OE oil pressure switch, which most people do without. It is situated on the front face top of the block, just under the alternator belt.

HTH

It's about 6-8" from the rear of the engine. Estimate the width of the cylinders, and look in the central area on top of No3.
I can show you if you want to come over one day?
