I'm looking at installing my Defi BF gauges very soon and wanted to know if there is a port on the block where I can screw the sensor into. I've seen the thread showing the port on the front of the motor for oil pressure, just looking for the same thing for water.

I'd rather not have to buy one of those coupler things and slice up my radiator hose.

TIA

 

+1 im in the same boat. if someone has an answer, could you attach a picture. cheers!

I dont have the pictures but on my other cars, I used the thermostat housing. It had an extra port on it for the sensor, or you could replace the factory sensor (for the gauge not the ECU) with your aftermarket temp sensor.

Found a quick write up when searching for "Evo X thermostat housing". I hope its ok to cross post with other Forums

^ thanks man. I had seen that too but I didnt have the right size sensor for that whole. I actually just quick clipped into one of the sensors behind but the engine light came on so I disconnected it and looks like im going to have to go to that housing whole. cheers

 

They sell fittings at lowe's for you to be able to do this. Find the oil pressure gauge install and youll see what im talking about.

 

Hey guys,

Im trying to install a defi water temp gauge and bought the Works water temp sensor adapter. However when I was trying to remove the plug off the thermo start housing it would not come off no matter how hard i tried. I was turning left btw (CCW).

 

Try an impact socket it impact driver. NOT impact wrench. Or buy a new housing and start from scratch?
