Gauges

[Karl]

Looking at installing gauges in my car. Thinking about vacuum and oil pressure gauge.. Are these the gauges normally installed in dc2R , if not what's the norm?? Just installed shift light. and looking at gauges now!
Thanks guys

I got in my DC5R, Oil Pressure & Temp..
IMO, will be very useful once you hit the track, plus if something goes wrong aswell whilst driving..

Most na cars get water temp/oil temp and oil pressure. Grosso, i been told the water temp indicator in cluster is very inaccurate.

Im looking at getting defi clubsport package... Imo- the triple gauge pod of gaugesdoesnt suit the dc5 dash at all as the middle dash is same level as the steering wheel. In hindsight... The triple gauge pod suits the dc2r as the ceter middle dash is lower than the steering wheel- once gauges are fitted its all level and sexy!

you dont need a vacuum gauge.

Water temp is stock on the dash.. Even if out a little mine sitt's below half way on a very hot day.. What is need of water temp gauge?? Also isn't there a light that comes on if the pressure's to low???? And how would you wire up the Oil presure and temp???.. Thanks guys great help so far, getting on right track now!

I’m almost finished my DIY write-up on water/oil & pressure gauge install on a DC5S.
This should answer a few questions you might have?

Yes,
The car’s do have their own pressure sensor….but you don't know the reading to you until it fails
