@@running2redline it looks perfect for what I want. Didn't want to mess around plumbing in new sensor bungs etc or lose 1+ eyeball vents for generic gauges. What kind of oil temps and pressures do you see?
@@dielaughing73 Temps around 190-200 normal and up to 235 on track. Pressures about 10 psi at hot idle and 60 psi at 3500 rpm warm. That's with Redline 5W-20 in Florida's warm climate.
@@running2redline nice, I'm in Western Australia where the climate is broadly similar ("Mediterranean", they call it). But the track closes over summer so I'm rarely at redline if it's warmer than say 30C. Do you have any cooling mods? I'm keen to measure temps first then decide. Anyway I've ordered the gauge, super jazzed to get it working!
@@dielaughing73 No cooling mods, but I've found with the gauge that some will certainly be needed for track use. Oil temps get high quite quick (3-4 push laps) which can be frustrating when you can't drive even a full 20 minute session without spending a portion cooling down. Hoping a racing radiator will do enough for oil temps as there isn't currently an available oil cooling solution I'm a fan of. Additional note: I have an NC1 which had no factory oil cooler, the NC2/NC3 got one, so those temps should be better off.
R2R, I have a request. I want to see a video comparing ALL of your S tier engines on a few different categories, eg. Power/weight, fuel economy, fit-ability, upgradable. I would love to see how my favorite v6 compares to some of the best i4 i6 v8 etc
@@running2redline I’ve been looking at this kit for a while - do you think a shop would have difficulty installing it? That was my concern. The soldiering seems complex
If your worried about the soldering remove the cluster and have a computer/electronics shop do it, they’ll make easy work of it. The sensor install on the car side was honestly more complex, if you could do that part yourself to the point where the sensor wire is fed through the dash, then having someone solder the cluster would make for an easy install. For what it’s worth the instruction manual was really good and I had no issues. Given, I have a lot of experience working on vehicles; but actually very little with soldering and manger to pull it off after watching a few TH-cam tutorials. It’s 9 connections total. Hopefully this helps

Amazing! This is exactly what i want to do with my NC. Thanks so much dude
Good luck with the install! A bit tedious but once it’s in they work great

Maybe cost too.
I like that idea a lot and think it would be a good way to wrap up the series down the line!
@@running2redline looking forward to it
Awesome video! I’m in the process of building an NC track car myself so this is super timely.
What part of Florida are you in?
Much appreciated, I’m on the west coast!
