Best place to fit oil/water senders? impressions pros/cons

[Signal 2]

Good to know I'm not the only one wanting to minimize the number of gauges. Having one with multiple displays is kind of cool, as long as it's simple to go from one to another on the fly.
But monitoring both oil and coolant temps still seems redundant. What will oil temps tell you that coolant temps won't...or vice-versa?

I've found something similar... and some time ago... there was a gb to spain for those gauges...

i think for many rx7 users that gauge can be a good option... the only bad thing I've found is they don't have warn/peak alert...

they're cheap and seems like they're good quality

but im still opened to your advise and feedbacks about brands

Wow that is exactly what my gauge looks like. I'm sure it's just re-branded very cool. Good to know it was a pain to get the Sgear gauge.

With 1 oil cooler and a new rad you water temps could be manageable but your oil temps could be super hot when on a track. With hot oil you get low oil pressure which could cause a rebuild just like running hot water. Water and Oil temps are not necessarily related.

On my setup for example, the oil temps can get rather hot when pushing it hard for 25minute sessions. And by rather hot I mean 200-210* Water on the other hand tends to stay around 180-185. While sitting in traffic the oil temp can get out of control because there is no movement through the exchangers. I've seen 220* oil temps while sitting in traffic, yet coolant never get's about 185* It's good to know what both are

You're correct, they're not always related.
