Ok here's the deal: I really like the idea of using the factory gauges. The performance guy tried to sell me a monster tacho (even tho i had a factory tacho) cause it would be easier to hook up -> i told him to get lost. Anyhow now I have all my factory gauges working BUT I got an aftermarket water temp gauge because I wanted to keep a close look on the water temp.
Now I have the factory water temp gauge doing nothing.
my question is.. Because it just says 'temp' on it how hard would it be to make it into a oil temp gauge. What's the heat range of oil?? Could I use a water temp sensor for a 18rc and tap it in my oil??
I know that it still wouldn't mean much and i'd have no idea of the oil's degrees but at least the temp gauge would be doing something.
um yeah well if the sender was modified to send a
correct range signal it could be done but your
gauge would have to have the values changed to oil
temps (quite high) or
with the correct signal range you could interpret
it across the entire gauge movement and ignore/
paint over existing numbers
ie bottom - low temp
middle - meduim
top - high etc
