Need some help!!!!
hey guys i just wanted some help in setting up new gauges like the temperature, voltage and oil pressure. reason why i am asking is that i have seen a couple of guys that have the gauges installed and i know electrical is the easiet but i ahd a talk with my mecahnic and he said the elesrtical have a larger percent read-out error i dont know how far true that is.
my question is that is there anyone who has any type of advice for on where to place sensor for mechanical gauges on a VE30DE.
The next question is the type of refrigirant for the A/C that i need to use because my car stopped blowing cold air. And i know its not the R34 i think. does anyone know what i need to buy and where to buy the equipment.
thanks.

Best bet would be to use the existing sensor locations. Bye-bye oil light. Hello oil gauge. You will need to use the sensor that came with the gauge. If needed, also grab an adapter fitting. I would tie into the temp location with a 't' so you can use the stock and aftermarket.
Don't know what year your car is, but regardless use the R134. If it is R12 now, retrofit kits are available. R134 is a lot more accessible(R12 hasn't been made in the US for years) and also cheaper. You can buy suicide recharge kits, but I would just have a mechanic do it right. (Unless you have access to an a/c machine) No one wants to find out their compressor failed because they didn't add enough oil with the refrigerant. Especially when it's wicked hot out.

Btw you would not pay for either accuracy devices, lets juts accept the 'feelings' gauges...
I suggest to save oil warn light with a T adapter.
