Those with Water Temp Gauges

[slider2828]

What are your warmed up street driving temps?

What are your track temps?

I just replaced my autometer water temp PhantomII and it still reads around 100. Even on the track with beating on it water temps don't rise... Checked the wire for continuity and its OK! Wtf?

Installed are Water Wetter, Nismo Thermostat, 50/50, High Pressure Cap, New Water Pump, Koyo Radiator, and Clutch Fan..... Ideas?

With aftermarket "wideband" temp gauges, it becomes very important to get a good grounding kit to eliminate ground loops.

The stock electronics are not particular sensitive, but aftermarket stuff responds to minute changes in resistance.

If you don't have good grounds the slight changes in resistance affects your gauge reading.


I personally would verify the reading of the gauge with a thermometer before going crazy with a grounding kit though.
