Ok guys i have completely pulled my dash aprt to try and install two autometer gauges i have bought. They are water temperature and oil pressure. I have ran the power cables and two appropriate hoses, one for each gauge, into the engine bay, my only problem is i have no idea where they go. So my question is where does the plug for the water temp gauge go and where does the hose for the oil pressure go?. My car will be off road until i get them in as puttin dash back together to drive it then pull apart again is somethin i cant be stuffed doin so any help would be greatly appreciated!. This is on a r32 rb20det. Thanks guys.

For the oil pressure you have to find the oil pressure sender on the side of the block where the oil filter is. I'm trying to put my oil pressure on at the moment, its a real prick because you have to remove the sender and then plug in a metal t piece and then put the sender back into the t piece. Btw the sender is directly left of the oil filter with a cable comming off it and a rubber seal around it. Some how you have to unscrew it which is very hard. I havent got mine off yet so any help from anyone who has done it would be great. Also with oil temp what did you guys plug yours into? My fitting is too narrow to fit inside the sump and seal it off, any reccomendations?

For autometer oil temp i drilled a hole into the sump and welded a threaded fitting to it. Screwed temp sender into fitting.  To do this means you have to remove sump, obviously.

Theres gott abe a easier way than that isent there?? As i an new apexi oil temp gauge coming soon with some other parts
