Drift car build 04 XR6 N/A, Temp, Oil and Tach help

[Hellz K9]

I've striped the interior of this car so no ICC, BEM or cluster. I've got the the security stripped of the ECU so the car runs fine. I want oil pressure, engine temp and tach gauges but I don't know enough about it all.

I have heard the easiest thing to do for the tach is join into the injector pulse, ideas?

Can I use the existing head temp sensor with a different gauge?

Is the best thing to do for the oil is to tee off the oil pressure gauge and add a new sender?

 

 Cheers

Turns out that OBD2 reader and gauge sets are very cheap, so I'll try that.

That should sort you for temps etc. Some can be a bit slow in terms of refresh rate so might have to see how it goes for RPM.

The car won't have oil pressure through OBD as it only has an oil pressure switch (rather than sensor). You can I stall a T piece into the switch location to add a sensor and gauge.

You can get one of them power tune digital dash units. Will give you most of what you’re looking for except the oil pressure. 😊

Thanks gents I will look into this. RPM isn't to much of an issue car is limited anyway but I will put a oil pressure gauge and sender in.
