what do you guys think

This splice kit is VERY light I'm also installing a digital guage should get it done this weekend. http://www.startinglineproducts.com/catalog.cfm? pageID=detail&catalogID=5&catID=40&productID=512 and this company is great to choose a guage from check it out and if its your first order you get a free hat and catolog. http://store.summitracing.com/ Stormchasers guage is in there for $39.95 w>> Free shipping too

Thats the splice I am going to get there is a guy on the site that has them 25.00 shipped.here is a link to the treadhttp://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic ... 007#203007. The guage at summitracing does not include the sender, I paid 45 shipped with sender.they charge anotther 12.00 for sender. The guy on ebay has a website its http://www.speedsolutions.net/?pageid=54000

SC - the ty.com link doesnt work for me...can you try it again please?

Well guys, if you read my original post here. I was thinking of removing the factory temp. sending unit, screwing in a brass "T" fitting and reinstalling the factory sending unit in one branch and the temp. gauge sending unit on the other branch. My concern was that I might not get enough fluid flow to either sending unit and not get accurate readings on either one.

Well, I modeled the thermostat housing and sending unit port on Professional Engineer and then ran some fluid dynamics calculations on it in ANSYS. I also ran through some hand calculations, and broke out the Computational Fluid Dynamics book from school. I calculated what the flow characteristics are stock and what the flow would be if I put in the "T". Going by these calculations (if I did them correctly) I don't think that there would be enough flow if the "T" was added.

So it looks like the in line splice is going to have to be the way to do it. Or tap and drill a additional hole on the thermostat housing, just below the thermostat.

Just thought some of you guys would like to know. 8)

Thanks for the info I am working on my install today, I have a friend making me a slpice I will see how that comes out . I bought the cybertyne gage and it looks good,But I had to seal up the back to make it water tight, Nice thing it has it it will flash if you get to hot and you can set at what temp you want it to flash.

Please post pics of the install process and finished look please!!!!

I dont have it done but here is a sample of what it looks like, I will post more when the install is complete.

How and where did you seal the back of the guage?

Here is how I sealed it to make sure I dind get water inside. I posted the install here is a link http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?p=209218#209218
