I have one installed. I got the Defi blue racer gauge. i installed it with a boost gauge. For the oil temp gauge you need a oil filter adapter so you can attach the oil temp sensor. Heres the link to an example:
http://www.nipponpower.com/view.phtml?f_ca...r+Block+Adapter

You place this inplace of your oil filter and then your oil filter goes on the adapter, just periodically check to make sure its not leaking, ive had mine over a year and no problems as of yet. Hope that helps.

just don't use a taper brass fitting in home depot in oil pressure sensor port and you'll be fine

It will likely crack your block.

While putting your water temp probe in the return line does in fact give you a water temp reading the best place to put a water temp robe is in the block.


On the oil filter side of the block there is a freeze plug.
This plug is the same place that Honda puts in an oem block heater

Remove the freeze plug and tap this piece.

Reinstall the plug and then screw in your water temp probe.


This position will give you the most accurate temperature and quickest response.

Slows2k had a thread a long time ago that showed exactly where this plug is located.


I have mine installed there and it shows temperature increases much faster during warm up then a probe place in the return hose.
