Updates: I was going to take the car down the road and see how it drives, test the ACT clutch I put in, etc. Pulled the car out of the garage and quickly realized that I had not bled the front brakes from when I put on the Tein springs and Tokicos. Turns out that was providence. I hadn't put the hood on yet and as I'm pulling the car back into the garage I see a shower of oil. I developed a pin hole in my oil cooler line. I've got a spare set from the N/A engine. But I'm thinking about the stainless steel ones, either that or taking my bad hose to a brake shop or truck shop and asking them to make a stainless hose.
I've tracked down one problem with my aftermarket gauges. I had not tightened down my common ground bolt. I had left it hand tightened. Oil temp gauge is working as it should. Water temp I believe is dead. The warning oil pressure gauge is still not reading anything. All it ever does is warn me and show zero. I went to Prosport's website and it says:
Q: Can I wire multiple gauges to the same power and ground source?
A: Yes-each gauge draws about 1 ma.
Q: Can I mix Premium Series gauges with Performance Series Gauges?
A: Yes. Keep in mind they need to be wired separately as the wiring is different. The two light up the same colors, but have different bezel profiles and slightly different bezel color.
I've got them going to common ground, ACC power, common lighting. The Premium gauge I then run to constant power. Of course each gauge is wired to it's own sensor/sender.
I switched sensor wires for the oil and water temps and it seems that the water temp is dead. Oil temp will read both water and oil temps correctly. Water temp will read nothing. Even when no power is to it it sits at around 190. It does an opening ceremony, but never drops below the 190 mark.
I've got an oil leak. I believe it is from the 4 port adapter for the aftermarket gauges. With my troubles getting the Prosport pressure gauge to read anything and the leak...and the water temp being dead. I'm very tempted to simply loose the adapter, use my oil temp as my water temp. Worry about my pressure warning gauge a little later...possibly doing the adapter for the oil cooler hose return line.
