Need Help For My Gauges

[fat_rb25]

hey ppl, ive put in some gauges on my 32, got a oil temp gauge and oil pressure, now with the oil temp its take for ever to go up like afta 30min of driving though traffic is starts to go up but really slowly, is that normal or is my temp sensors slow to read? am i able to use a unversial sender?

2nd the oil pressure is fine till its warmed up, sometimes i stop at the lights and my gauge reads 0? i keep my eye on the orgnial oil pressure on the cluster and its different readings, ive t pieced into the orgnial hole for oil pressure in the block

these are all saber gauges

Doesn't sound right to me. My oil temp doesn't start till 40' [from memory and too lazy to check] but it starts working within a couple of km's so like 5 minutes and its slowly heating up. Settles on around 85 to 90'. Oil pressure never drops to zero, sits around 3.5 to 4, drops to around 2 [usually 2,something, maybe 2.2???] at idle.

All the senders look the same, but they are for different ranges. You would be better off getting another Saber one just to be sure.

yer same with my oil temp starts at 50 but dosent start moving for ages, il hav to get new sensor amd oil pressure switch

85 degree oil temp? Wtf? Mine sits at 60 at wot.. Celcius

Yer think mine is fahrenheit

does ur take for ever to move? and do you guys kno what sensors i can use? lost my water temp sensors somewhere....... i try using my factory sensors but get wacked out readings

mine are greddy gauges - takes about 5 mins for it to start moving - 10 mins its usually at 55-60 degrees Cel.

depends what gauges you buy - those saber gauges, i dunno.. never used them but for 50 bucks i guess you get what you pay for.. factory gauges arent that accurate..

I've only got cheap NRG malaysian electronic stepper motor gauges and they work fine. They do a whole of range and scale check every time you turn them on, this helps with setting baselines and accuracy. I haven't heard anything bad about Saber gauges, they're probably OK.

I had Greddy gauges, they were analogue ones, sold 'em, too many hassles with them.

You say you've 'T'ed the pressure in at the sender, where have you picked up the temp?

I've got a sandwich plate at my oil filter that has adaptor holes in it for both temp and pressure, so the oil flows past both senders all the time.

If you've got yours in a dead end spot you may actually only be measuring the block temp instead of the oil temp? This would expalin the slow response.

yer prob, cause the way i got it set up i t peiced into the block and running my oil pressure and oil temp
