where have you guys put your temp sensor? anyone put theirs directly on the head? thanks in advance!

 

[supafly]

use bseries ect sensor

i have put mine in the same location, What about the fan switch, where have you put it at?

 

[supafly]

i ran mine using stock wiring and plug.. I also have mine on constant.

Isn't it possible to use a d-series temp sensor? Anyone useing the inline temp sender/fan switch port thing?

Yes and yes.

You can use either B or D series temp sender/fan switch. My Hasport piece with sensors installed:

Thanks #2, thats what i'll be using. Did you get your car running yet? I gotta wait for all the damn snow to melt now. :x

Soon, very soon. Just waiting on one part.

I hate winter in the north east too. Snow sucks. :evil:

that what i was thinkin of as well to do.

what did you have to do to put the temp sensor there? any fab work to it?

 

[nikos]

No he is just using a reducer. You can buy one at a auto parts store, jeggs or summitracing.

I will let supafly list the part.

i have that hasport coupling thing.....but i also have a dc5 raidator also with the fan switch on that.....

shrimp tempura sensor

I put the temp sensor on the motor and running the fan switch on my DC5 Radiator. Problem, my fan will not switch on. Any Ideas?

Yes and yes.

So if you use this piece you just put it in line, befor the coolant gets to the radiator? Then you have to plug up the holes that everyone else is using?

hole in rad for sensor- if there is one...
nad the other sensor usually goes?

and with the hasprot piece you can use the older D or B series sensors?

Yes, you install it inline on the upper radiator hose. If you are using a DC5/EP radiator you can get an automotive drain plug (12 x 1.25 thread pitch) for the sensor outlet in the radiator. If you decide to run the sensor in the DC5/EP radiator, i believe Hasport makes the billet adapters in 3 versions. Coolant temp sensor only, Fan switch only, and the dual sensor piece pictured.

The temp sensor on the K series is located on the head where Supafly has a B/D series sensor in his picture. It is not useable. Thus why you have to run a B/D series sensor.

I am using the stock sensors off my D15b8. So yes either B/D will work.

I will try to get some pics tonight to further explain what i'm talking about.

I think I pretty much got it. Thanks

You just can't use the K temp sensor, period. But you can put the B/D sensor in it's place... :up:

 

[P_TAN]

thanks for the help, but I think its a wiring problem or something dumb like that.

 

[Rubber Chicken]

By all means put in the early B/D sensor in a radiator pipe to run the temperature gauge, but please, please, please don't replace the K-Series sensor in the cylinder head. You don't know what it is doing to the ECU.
