Since theres no stock oil gauge on the car, how did you guys go about hooking it up? Also, maybe some step by step instructions from someone who put theirs in?


also, off topic, but how much is the stock boost on the 03 evo 8s? and how much boost can it hold before it trails off?


Thanks for the help.

 

Here you go... this is the best write-up I've found, and 42draftdesigns is a great place to buy gauges...

thanks a lot, been awhile since i have installed anything

 

The Stewart Warner gauges are really nice for the price. I like them so much better than the Autometer's. Autometer gauges look cheap and outdated to me, even the new Nexus series. I also have the 42nd draft designs panel. The only thing I dont like about it is that the gauges are not angled towards the driver. It makes a small difference. At least they dont block my view like when the gauges were on the a-pillar though, that was annoying.

 

hmm i might be confused... i need the pressure sending unit(which i have) and the pressure sending drain plug?

 

A good investment would be the greddy oil filter adapter. It comes with fittings that you dont have to tap into anything for the oil feed Run's about 50-60 bux

 

happen to have a link where i can check that out bro?

kind of confused about the directions in the evom link, i understand the take off oil filter, drain oil from plan, and remove the plug from the block, thats all easy. says screw the pressure sending unit fitting into the place where you removed the plug, then in step #15 it says screw in the oil temperature sending drain plug ... shouldnt you just need the sending unit for the gauge to work? since there is no need to have a temperature sending unit for the oil ..., unless is there a stock 1?

 

if you dont have a oil temp gauge then dont worry about step 15.

 

It depends on what gauges you have and what type of fitting you are using.

I have the Defi gauges so I needed to get these:

anyone know which color wires connect to where? i got power and ground hooked up, and theres 3 more wires i think, like a purple, a gray, and another i think ... i went on autometers site and looked for instructions but it didnt list any

 

what are the wires coming from on the gauge? is the power and ground you already have hooked up for the bulb or the gauge?

This adapter lets you use one pressure or temp sender. What do you do when you want to run both a temp and pressure sender?

 

for the stewart warner oil pressure and oil temp i ordered these fittings per 42draftdesigns how to for installing on a evo8.
