Put me down for an oil temperature gauge.

What do these guages work with? Am I right in thinking you need "something" else to hook them up to to work?

[Royalratch]

Oil temp would be awesome with dual colour LED's that start green and go Red over a certain temp.

I'd say Oil Temp is the most important gauge missing from an E30!

Second that, and would love to have one so count me in!

so...

dual colour LED's that start green and go Red over a certain temp.

The reason the led's are all one color has to do with the button. The light that is normally behind it is a standard incandescent type bulb that puts out "white" light - and you'll remember from school, that white light is made up of all the colors of the rainbow.

The buttons are very deeply tinted to filter that "white" light into the color of the switch (red for hazard, and yellow for defrost). Remember that light isn't "tinted" by a filter like paint. It's that the other colors are stripped out. So, putting green leds behind a red filter give you almost no light at all. So yea, the button acts as a filter, blocking light not on it's "wavelength". Make sense?

It depends on what you are measuring. These gauges will take a linear signal and display it with out anything else. Oil temp and oil pressure are not linear. But it can do a great job of displaying voltage, wideband AFR, and narrowband AFR.

I have a voltage gauges form George, quality of his work is fantastic

I will be purchasing a wideband from him as well

[george_graves]

Thanks Steve! I happen to have a few made up (including widebands) that I'll list up soon.

[daimlerman]

Hummm,shame these cannot do oil pressure or oil temp...

[DaveyB]

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh me me me me me i want one!!!!!!
