So.

Gauges.

I want oil temp and pressure for my 20xe, I've seen a guide on MIG as to where I can bolt everything into but a quick call to Rallydesign left me confused as fuck as to what I wanted.

After some help from the amazing rileysport (

) I have been looking at Racetech gauges over here... http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=412_554_556

Now when it comes to stuff like senders, I think I need the M14 x 1.5 size for the temp sender but what the fook do I do for the pressure sender?

On the page above it only has Oil Pressure Sender 8 BAR... but doesnt mention anything about sizes to screw into the block or anything..

Then onto the actual gauges.. I'm once again confused: http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=412_554_555

What range would I need for my 20xe? Whattt the help is this talk about Capillary?

Help.

I bought my senders from these places below:

http://www.lma-group.com/

http://gower-oaks.co.uk/

Gower Oaks are in Wales and I ordered a sender in the afternoon and received it the following morning. Their website appears to be down but I've got their number somewhere if you want it?.

If your engine is anything like my car you will also need to buy a brass T-Piece so that you can run two differant oil senders from one hole in the block.

A capilary guage would see you running a copper pipe through the car carrying oil to the back of the gauge. Electric is as it sounds, with you talking about sender units you will be wanting electric guages rather than capilary.
