Some mechanical update !!
Starter doesn't start when i want, so i take it apart and see whats wrong with it.. found a lot of Carbon so i clean it
(it wasn't carbon issue, added more grounds..still having the issue, it may be the key ign cylinder)
After some love.. all clean (starter works on floor every time, but sometimes fail into car, still looking for answers
Installing the sensor for the gauges (Oil pressure)
Remove the OEM sensor (next pic) and u need to put this adapter: 1/8-27 NPT Female to 1/8 28 BSP Male (silver one) and then u can screw the AutoMeter one
the one to remove:
Water temp gauge... this is the water neck with both OEM sensors, i remove the small one which is the gauge sensor and need to put the AutoMeter one in same place
Oem sensor is metric, so u need to tap the hole to get the new one
(Thank you Steven's dad!)
And this is how it looks after
All 3 mechanical gauges hoses in the same hole
(Boost - Water temp - Oil pressure)
