any one with a sunpro gauge? i was wondering if anyone has took the gauge hooked it up to the cluster sensor mine does not work so if someone can point me in that direction dont wanna get drain all that coolant and have it leaking if it doesnt fit right or wateva any help is good basically have noway to watch temp of engine

You have a Sunpro gauge hooked up to the OEM cluster gauge?
I highly doubt that will ever work.

Use the sensor that came with your Sunpro gauge.

no sorry should of stated when i bought car its sitting between electric fans and radiator like that helps the cluster doesnt work im goin to check tomorow or when im off but i rather use the gauge. so i was wondering if i could remove the sensor(black plug on top radiator hose if your lost lol) and do a diy and somehow get the sunpro gauge hooked up there has anyone done this or a write up for it? cuz i was gonna use some locktite if it fits preety good but dont want it to leak...

can you even remove sensor (black plug for cluster)???

Do you have a picture of your setup?

S13s don't have their OEM sensors on the radiator hose, they are all on the intake manifold's coolant neck.

Hooking up aftermarket water temp gauges are quite easy.
You buy a radiator hose tee like this one:

Then you install it on your radiator hose, screw on your temp sensor, then wire it to your gauge.

I think I got what he is saying, my car is setup like that, I am not a fan, now I must use an AM gauge to read coolant temp. It requires tapping the intake manifold to fit the aftermarket sensor.

yea thats what i meant sorry lol will take pics as soon as i get home thanks

so i would buy that adapter nd put it in the radiator hose by using two hoses as the upper radiator hose

and stick dis in adapter how do i get it to stay if i do wouldnt want it to pop out and leak.. gauge is hooked up already


also this part that reads temp doesnt have groves to srew it on do they sell an adapter?

so im thinking of doing that and using a sealant of sum kind lock tite or something along those lines but y upper hose i dont have thermostat and need to know when to turn on electric fans was going to do it around 195 temp but if its in upper hose coolant will b lot hotter does ne1 know what is to hot in upper hose??

That sensor seems to be for outside of the water. So probably won't work to put it in the hose. Would get a different gauge/sensor. Don't try to ghetto rig that sensor in the adapter and try to seal it.

Upper hose temp is going to be similar to temp on stock gauge and ECU sensor (both just a few inches away on the head). Wouldn't want to see upper hose above 200 or so. I usually run my fans at 180-190 with the sensor on top hose.

wat sensor would u prefer at a good price? and thanx for the advice bro

so i found out ma gauge is missing the fitting so i am going to buy fitting and adapter how many volts does the gauge suppose to read 12v?? just wanna check mine is correct before putting it in o and accesory on? also is there a write up for this because if there isnt i would b happy to do it so there wont b a need for ?s like this and we can all move on lol

will this fitting work so i dont have to buy gauge agin

Where are you going to put that?

Do you already have a tee like the picture I posted above?

jus bought it off ebay but im missing the fitting that screws into the one u put up so i was asking if that was the correct fitting{in link to ebay i posted) or do i need to buy a new gauge

So, you bought a tee but your Sunpro sensor can't screw into it?

I'm sorry, but your posts are really hard to understand.
Is English your second language?

lol no just typing isnt my strongest i bought tee...... but there isnt the fitting to screw into adapter on gauge. car didnt come with it so im asking if that adapter for gauge dat i posted with link is rite or do i have to buy a whole new gauge

Oh I see, use some more periods and commas. It'll help, haha.

I'm not sure what the threading on your sensor and your tee are, but I'd figure it out before buying an adapter.

If you can find a nut and bolt that thread onto your sensor and tee, you can take those to Autozone and figure out what their thread and pitch are and find the correct adapter.

yea all adapters on ebay are 1/8 npt which is 2 small and i bought a hks adapter thinking it would fit since all the sizes are 1/8npt. and it does not.. is the screw that goes into adapter suppose to hold sensor in coolant rite? where could i find bigger adapters for a sunpro gauge?

yea sensors on threading and tee are not the same, but i cant seem to find a tee that is. i am using a sunpro and there is a couple of different fittings.
