Travis_morris Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 hey everyone just wondering where you guys run the sender for your water temp gauge... Top hose or Bottom hose ? as ive heard of ppl running them in both hoses on the RB motors...

Hanaldo Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I ran mine from the top hose, works a charm Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/285956-water-temp-sender/#findComment-4800395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS-t VSPEC Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Top hose, not that I think it would make much difference where you place it, I guess one is the temp before the radiator gets to cool the water.

Hanaldo Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yeh one hose will be slightly cooler, one will be slighty hotter. I used the top hose simply for ease, it is easier to reach than the bottom hose Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/285956-water-temp-sender/#findComment-4800732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NISMOGTT Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 either way just be aware that it will not be 100% acurate getting the reading from the hoses rather then the block, as one hose will have the radiator cooling just before the reading and the other will have the thermostat controlling the flow of coolant so will only show acurate if the thermo is open and free flowing... just my 2 cents, as i tested this on an old car to find a blockage in the radiator or block without taking shit apart...
