Gauges For Meeeeee

[Manuel Kasko]

Yo

So just been speaking with Justjap about getting one of their gauge sets.

Decided on the one with the A/F Ratio, Water temp and oil temp.

After a few emails with JustJap they said to me I will need a shadow oil temp sensor and also the shadow water temp sender adaptor.

They took about a week to reply and while I wait for their reply again about what these are and why they are needed I thought I might ask you guys.

Why and what oil temp sensor would I need and sender adaptor.

When I searched it didn't come up with just one for me to pick.

Thanks in advance

I have several gauges in my car. Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, Water Temp. I got some off ebay, and they came with all the sensors required, the oil ones plugged into a sandwich plate that came on my car when I bought it (I was replacing some tired/broken gauges) and the water temp sensor had just been put into a hard pipe. What does get sold is a metal sensor screw in thing tht can be put into your radiator hosing somewhere, so I'm guessing that the gauges just don't come with all that stuff, and you'll need to buy some of it extra.

I'm surprised you even got a response from them! I sent them a query through their website weeks ago and never heard anything back.

[Tai1or Made]

Been looking at the same gauges.

Also trying to figure out exactly what I'll need to get them all going.

I think this is my first legit post in the FI section.

Let us know what JJR tell you Manuel.

I haven't had an issue with contacting them.

Sounds like a miswording man, the Shadow Pro gauges come with all the sensors. I've got them in my car. What you need is a water sensor adapter to go in your radiator hose:

And a sandwich plate to screw on between your block and your oil filter:

I have glowshift oil and water temp gauges, just the digital readout, they are a super small unit fit anywhere easily and reasonably priced. I went autometer for oil pressure for the reliability factor.. But its too dear to buy them all in autometer!

[Manuel Kasko]

Yeah I sent through about 4 emails before I got a very basic response.

Now I am left wondering what to do.

This is the one I am looking at

I think you will have more success calling them yourself...

get a real A/F ratio, not those crappy narrowbands that read absolutely nothing

[cherring]

Mate I bought gauges off here http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/Gauges-/33672/i.html?_catref=1&_dmpt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&_fln=1&_ipg=&_ssn=carlab-design-tuning&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282, don't need to spend a fortune, and they were easy to deal with.

Care to elaborate??

Such as one that is affordable

[vorse]

had problems with just jap ordering wrong parts then telling me parts i wanted to buy didnt exist then try give me store credit instead of dollars also over priced

[Manuel Kasko]

Okay so I just spoke to them and they said I needed that radiator part and the sandwich plate.

Question now am I making a mistake by getting the A/F gauge is it not going to work correctly?

As john said its pretty cheap but that doesnt always mean its not good.

Can someone explain for me before I go out and buy this pack

Narrowbands are useless junk man, all they tell you is if your O2 sensor is working. They operate on a 0-1v range, so they either read very rich, very lean, or stoich when you are in closed loop, nothing else.

If you're going to get one, get a proper wideband which operates on a 0-5v range. But it's not really necessary. The AEM Uego kit is about $200 delivered depending on the strength of the Aussie dollar, and that's about the cheapest. Unless you're hitting the track or planning on doing your own tuning, I would spend the money elsewhere.

[Manuel Kasko]

Good to know thanks Martin.

I know Jez's tune is safe and was thinking for that price why not get the pack.

Will put the money towards oil temp/pressure and water temp.

[Manuel Kasko]

Perfect they sell ethanol sensors for the same price
