Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / October 2004where to fit oil pressure and temperature gauge to twinspark engine
Just as the subject line says... I would like to install a oil pressure gauge, alongside a oil temperature gauge (i like gauges) but am not sure how to do this. I did this on a VW i had a few years ago and it was just a cast of removing a bolt from the engine block and screwing the pressure transducer into it. but that engine was FAR simpler than this thing... Any suggestions. > Just as the subject line says... > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Any suggestions. Erm, what twinspark? Mine already has oil pressure, as has every Alfa I've owned. I kind of assumed they all had it?

T reg. It has coolant temperature, fuel level, speedometer, and a rev gauges. I suppose if the sump cracked and all the oil leaked out then a light would come on on the dash (and my engine would grind to a halt), but nope - oil pressure gauge ;-) Cheers, Mark >> Just as the subject line says... >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > I've > owned.

You're sure it's a TS, not a boxer? I can never remember with the 145 / 146. Anyways, if it is a TS, I would expect the mouting for the gauge to be in place, I can't see them changing the casting. Having said that, if it's where I think it is, drilling it out is gonna be virtually impossible plus you will get swarf into the engine. Not good IMO, but I could be talking crap.

Well, my 156 2.0 TS is also missing oil temperature and pressure gauges. /Mogens >>> Just as the subject line says... >>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Well, my 156 2.0 TS is also missing oil temperature and pressure gauges. That's the new TS though isn't it?

No, mine is a phase 2, i.e. 1999 model - the 155 HP version. As I understand it there is a newer motor version (150 HP), the last TS before the JTS. /Mogens >>>>> Just as the subject line says... >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> >> That's the new TS though isn't it? Well, new*er* than mine then? Twice as many valves?

There are people who did this on the italian 147 forum (www.147virtualclub.it). If you don't read italian (that can be understood, in certain cases...) you can roam around the forums and ask in english, they're usually very helpful). Good luck. Awesome, thanks for all the help chaps Mark >> Just as the subject line says... >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > ask in english, they're usually very helpful). > Good luck. |
