stants Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Can yours be daisy chained together ? Will save you a lot of work if they are. Like rick says it's really simple plus you've got all the wiring on place in the centre trom the clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Have you got a link to the exact one's you bought stu ? If it's electronic like my depo 4 in 1 the sensor end is fairly easy Oil pressure is the black plug at the front which fits in place of the oe sender Oil temp is the white wire at the rear left ,make sure the area around the bung is clean before removing original bung (you don't want !Removed! dropping in the oilway above cylinder 3) fit the brass "ferrule" (nut with the hole in stants kit) and then screw the oil temp sender into the ferrule . Make sure you do it in that order as the sender hole in the ferrule is sometimes tapered to aid a seal Boost just needs vacuum and you've probably got a blanked take off on the inlet . If you haven't got a spare take off ,Have a look at vacuum hose kits on eBay as they're not to expensive and include a few t pieces and various size hoses . Inside just earth , ignition live and light exciter most of which can be taken from the clock,like stants said  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 you will prob just get the gauges mate, the rest is quite easy to get hold of in any motor factors / eBay Boost gauge is the simplest one to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Says they come with fitting kits and oil and water sensors but I'd imagine that you would still need to buy the bung with a hole in it to fit the oil temp sensor they supply. as it's a subaru specific part made to locate the oil temp sensor above cylinder number 3 (hottest cylinder next to the turbo) most kits are for a wider range of makes so I had to buy "stants" kit just for the brass bung with a threaded hole in it, see when they turn up . you could always start off with the easier boost gauge and sort the power , earth , lights and fit the pod while waiting for other bits if they're not in your kit [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I got a genuine bung from subaru it was a little bit more but its an exact fit. And the sender holder from the bay, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowthruster Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Cheers for the advice,think i'll wait and see what I exactly get.... changed my mind ordered the "stants kit" and another kit to fit boost gauge(only £6) just in case.So in theory I should have everything I need....

stants Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Your shopping has made me want to add oil temp and water temp ! I was lazy and installed mine on top of no 3 cylinder so would need to relocate the oil pressure to under the alternator, and add another sender to the original bung. Just depends of I can be arsed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Hmm did you cat not have the clock situated where you've put the pod ? If not you could always take the perm live and Battery on live from the hazard warning switch. Does mean removing more of the facia, do you have a multi meter ?
