Gambit Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Look's better certainly stands out from the alloy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I was quite surprised how much bigger they are than the subaru 4 pots and even more surprised that I had to run the 3 mm spacers make my wide offset rims fit. The pic's a bit rubbish as by the time I finished fitting them it was getting a bit dark so I had to enhance the pic on my phone so you could see it properly.

Scoobyghost Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 My depo 4-1 gauge should arrive today. Is there a guide or any general advice to fitting them? Never done one before and I'd rather get it right first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Take your time, have you got any add a fuses ? Hardest part will be getting through the firewall and putting the sender adaptors in the top of the block, what you got volts, boost, oil pressure & temp ? Where are you going for the top of block behind the alternator or under the topmount ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Those are all the questions I need answers too [emoji15] It is the boost needle, oled volt, oil temp/pres display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 I went behind the i/c as couldn't be arsed to move the alternator, plus it gives a slightly better reading for temp as that gets the hottest, but less accurate for oil pressure, but if it reads lower I think it gives me more of as fail safe, boost easy,voltage I guess will be taken off the electrical feed anyway ? Have you got the adaptor and extender bit for the new senders to screw into ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I was under the impression everything I need was on the box. Boost and volt I can deal with. It's the oil part I want to get right. That's the important bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 All the bits are in the box how ever you will need a few additional items, This http://www.scoobyparts.com/oil-pressure-oil-temp-gauge-fitting-kit-pink And this is a good idea saves having to chop loads of wires http://www.amazon.co.uk/Add-A-Circuit-Fuse-Holder-Standard-20amp/dp/1550063146 This is location of where sender lives behind the i/c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's all in the box what are the extra bits for? First time doing a gauge fitting so forgive my naivety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ghost , Although it's sold as a kit it's not subaru specific and you need a brass Ferrell to fit the oil temperature sender into a bung over cylinder number 3 (hottest cylinder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Got ya. Now am I better off putting both pres and temp in the adapter over #3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 No bud temp in the bung over number 3 oil pressure in place of the factory oil pressure wiring (behind the alternator) [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
