arne Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hi, I'm looking for this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Supra-mk4-Carbon-Fibre-Glovebox-Cover-3-x-gauge-Pod-RHD-LHD-/321041297924?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D4417782553632439499%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D321022278700%26 That (together with them gauges) isn't expensive, but does it take alot of work to fit the wires from ...( the engine,...?) to the gauges? kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MannDuo Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The way you have phrased that makes out like you think it comes with the gauges? Which it does not. Of cause I could be mistaken, and you already know this, and now I look like a pleb... Ha ha Either way, it does not come with gauges, and when you have the gauges, I can't see it being to complicated to wire them up and fit them!

DodgyRog Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 As above, it isn't being sold with the gauges If you do go ahead and get it, when you start looking for gauge, to make the installation easier, find some that you can daisy chain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arne Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 I'm sorry for my bad English but I know that the gauges aren't included... I'm just wondering how long it takes to fit the wiring from the gauges to the engine (and wherever they need to be fitted at ) takes... It's not that this requires to take out the dashboard and needs more than a day work?? ; what will be very expensive since I can't do such things... kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 If you use capillary type gauges for oil temp and oil pressure, and for boost, you will have instant reaction gauges, much simplified wiring, and often a better quality gauge. Whilst not difficult, doing OE quality wiring in the engine bay demands some costly crimping tools, decent moisture proof connectors, and some forethought. It's VERY easy to make a messy, unreliable installation that will look untidy and be potentially unreliable. The less you have the stock loom about, the better, as well. (for access to instrument light feeds etcetera). There's no need to take the dash out, but a decent install will take a full day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
