hi all, just got some gauges for my 01 bugeye, does anyone have a link on how to plumb in the boost gauge as ive never done it before i understand its got to T into the vacuum hose just wanted to make sure i do it right, also looking at the oil pressure/ temp cables on scoobyworld, how do they work as thought i needed a sandwich plate, or do i still?? Cheers for any help

 

Hi mate, for the boost guage cut the small hose that goes to the dump valve/re circ valve, get the plastic t piece and plumb that in where you cut your hose and connect back up to dump valve and then get your hose that come with your gauge and thread it through th rubber grommet leading into the cabin and it should come out under the glove box, then al I done is threaded it up (took clock of) and the hose comes up where clock should go, I've got mine sat on top of the clock and wired into the clock wiring as the clock didn't work anyway lol, I haven't got any pictures or a guide but it is very easy to do. I'll get some pics tomorrow for you of no one else has a guide. Sorry for the sh*t explanation, I'm sure you'll be able to work it out with pics though lol

 

The vac hose into the DV is the best place then you can feed the tube through the grommet in the bulkhead.

If you are fitting a coolant temp the best place is using an adaptor plug and sensor into the blanking plug of cylinder three.

The guide is for a Classic but the procedures are the same.

What about oil temp/pressure ?

 

Youll need a sandwich plate unless your putting sensor straight into block

 

cheers pal seems fairly self explanatory ill give it a whirl

 

so if i get the duel sensor pipe from scoobyworld that will work both my oil temp and pressure gauges?

cheers to everyone for the advise

 

No, no, no.

PLEASE, why didn't you do a search? I've recently written a long post about jjust this. gauge wiring crops up about every two weeks.

Boost is as above.

DO NOT use a sandwich plate unless you don't care about accurate results. Subaru put the sender positions where they are for a good reason...that's where they work best!

Yes, you MAY need an extension adaptor for the oil pressure gauge, most senders won't fit PHYSICALLY in the space the oil pressure switch is in. The extension adaptor allows it to fit, plus you can use the OE o/p switch too....mine is on the shelf in the garage, it's redundant with a decent gauge

 

Nice one thanks pal ill do it that way cheers
