....to wire up an Oil Press. Water Temp & Volts Meter gauges under my H/U in my VT? Has anyone done it before?
Any help would be much appreciated. I know it costs a bunch to get it done with an Auto Sparky so Im trynna save money by doing it myself
there is a thread in the how to section (i think) with a write up on how to do 2 gauges in the little space underneath the HU very detailed. that should help ya along. good luck

You would have to tap in to the wiring near your ECU which is down the passenger side kick panel. What pins are what I couldn't tell you off the top of my head but I do have a wiring diagram here I can look at once I've woken up a bit more. I'd assume you just tap into the +ive from the oil pressure sensor, coolant temp sensor and your battery.

Why would you put a coolant gauge in? There is already a temp gauge in the dash cluster. I'd just go volts and oil pressure. You may have to install a new oil pressure sender, I don't know if the factory one is a variable resistance one for measuring the pressure or just an on/off sort for running the idiot light.

For the oil gauge, most people just run a T-joint to run both pressure sensors.
