bodge Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Hi wot pipe is best to put a temp senser in ? the one from the head or the one from the pump? I take it one will show engine temp and the other the temp after it has been cooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 theres no point of showing the temp after its been cooled if your using it to determine your motor over heating then putting it after your radiator is pointless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Yes, it needs to go between the water pump and the radiator, that way you know what the coolant in the motor is doing.................... :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodge Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I put mine 6-8 inches out of the head... I wanted to know my max temp thats comming out of the engine. RIPPEN Thats where i have just fitted mine that came with the trailtech vapor. So we are both correct or both wrong , lol so witch way does it flow? head to rad or pump to rad? I put mine about 4-6 inches ffrom the pump i think head to rad... the pump flows cooled coolant through the engine up and out of the head to the rad. ????

375hp banshees Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Thats where i have just fitted mine that came with the trailtech vapor. So we are both correct or both wrong , lol i think head to rad... the pump flows cooled coolant through the engine up and out of the head to the rad. ???? I'm pretty sure out of head is return to rad (hottest readings?) here is mine I just cut hose & put T in line right side view top to rad left to head rt to gauge gave me the best angles w/o kinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPEN Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Thats where i have just fitted mine that came with the trailtech vapor. So we are both correct or both wrong , lol ???? Your in good shape... IMO you want to know the MAX temp. Installing it before the pump really isn't going to tell you how hot the engine is. Since that coolant just came from the rad, its going to be considerably cooler than actual engine temps.. Check it... http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...4&hl=Temp+guage Throughout that thread I listed all the info I could think of :beer: RIPPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
