dumb question.... but is water temp? is it the coolent temp of the engine?

 

Yes.

 

thats what i figured.. lol im not totally stupid. thank you matty.

 

No sweat.

 

any disadvange to have an electrical gauge? should i go for another type? Im looking to get an water temp, volts and maybe oil pressure but i prob wouldnt need that.. lol

 

An oil pressure gauge is a good one to have.

Mechanical and electrical gauges are equally accurate.

With electrical they are easier to setup (mount) and you won't have the possibilty of fluids entering the car.

Mechanical gauges don't need a 12v power source.

It's choice really.

 

OMMMGGG i cant belive u asked this! OMG FLAME

jk i didnt really know that for sure anyway.

 

Here's another question for ya!

Where should you measure the water temp at? Where does the stock gauge on the DIC measure from?

Similiarly, where should you measure oil temperature at?

(I know the answer, I'm just feeding the discussion!)

 

Water temp at the bottom of the water pump.
Oil at the back of the block.

Right? Wrong?

 

when i buy guages... instructions would be included on how and where to hook them up i hope... lol if not can someone explain where
