I was thinking of adding a few gauges to my 1995 NSX-T
and I have a few questions:
1. How hard is it to use the various 2-gauge A-pillar pods as
sold by gaugepods.com, Dali, SoS, et al. in an NSX-T? I'd read
somewhere (can't find the page again tho) that they required
a little modification for use in a -T model. In any case, when
installing, is it easy to route wires from the pillar into the area
under the hood of the car?
2. How valuable is an oil temperature gauge, given that the
car already has a coolant temperature gauge? Do the two
temperatures track each other in a predictable way, or does
the relationship between the two readings vary under some
conditions? I don't track my car, but I live near one of the
hotter areas on earth (Death Valley) and I like reassurance
that the engine is operating at a safe temperature.
3. If I do add an oil temp. gauge, what's the best place to
install the sender? There's an oil pressure switch mounted
near the oil filter base; can a tee fitting be added? Does a
temp. sender need to "stick its toe" right into circulating oil,
or would being installed off of a tee give an accurate reading?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
