possible to convert outside temp sensor to water/oil?

[7 skulls]

Just get the Pivot dual gauge. Analog scale for water temp. Digital gauge for oil temp and intake air. I have one, works great, plugs into the OBD. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25007

Nice! So that range is too low for oil temperature. But if you put in a resistance thermometer that had a different range you could measure it, but the readings on the dash would be wrong and you'd have to mentally convert the number into what it actually is (Like 1.5x the reading is the real temp). But then AC would be wonky. So just delete the AC for weight savings.

I think it's safe to say this wouldn't be worth doing.

Especially when there are so many plug and play options out there already.


This one always intrigued me. It is the one Skulls mentioned.


More info and a review

Was relieved when I saw that you were offline.

Haha. Yes there is supposed to be a temperature (probably below freezing point), that the compressor won't start. Because at that temperature it probably won't have any effect on humidity, and it could freeze the drain line, and maybe cause low refrigerant pressure problems.
