Also why waste time taping the Tstat housing when you can use this adapter for 22 dollars?

I have an extra one! (metal tstat housing)

I have that same setup with my coolant hose on my s52 lol. Except I got a big aluminum pipe and tapped it for the sensor.

Where did you get that coupler deal? I'm just gonna ditch mine and tap the head.

Just upgrade to the metal t-stat housing and tap that.

Yes, if you didnt care about it being seen. Personally, I like the "stealth" look. Here is a pic of my old SC'd M3 with the AFR gauge, shift light, and spray light(water/meth injection) mounted behind the vent. I had everything on a switch so I was able to turn it on and off as I pleased.



And to the op, nice job on the install, how did you actually mount the gauge to the vent flaps?

That is very nice! Love it!!!!

It was dremeled out. Place the Gauge. Then glue it at the bottom and top. Run the wires out the back.

Then melt a piece off thick clear plastic over the whole I had to create in the side of the vent so it would retain the air flow :)

the factory gauge is ment for the normal person. it tells you the engine is cold, or operating temp or hot. If it moved with the temp, as your new gauge does it would scare the shit out of all the non-gear heads that drive them.

I like your gauge placement, and had always wondered how drafting affected water temps.

I am FAR from normal :)

Yes now I know why F1 can't just sit behind someone forever!

I have a question.
What is that wierd e28 hose below the adapter?????

Oh and yo valentine be crooked beyatch.

Can you point out what you are talking about? The open tube thing is where my alternator cooler attaches to the front. I Popped it off for the picture.

That dash is crooked ;)

Nice mod. Clean your engine bay son :p

Negative... It is my track car... no need to spend too much time cleaning that ;)

That placement would be perfect for a boost gauge..
