cerrone Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hello guys. I havent posted recently here. Since I owned the car I'm struggling to identify what is the engine temperature. As you may know there's no temp gauge on the dashboard, therefore I decided to instal an aftermarket one, with an aluminium hose adapter for the temp sensor. Probably will buy a 2.5" Greddy one. Before purchasing it I want to know what is the inside diameter of the upper hose that goes into the radiator. The hose adapter is sold in different diameter sizes ( 28MM/30MM/32MM/34MM/36MM/38MM/40MM ) and I want to purchase the proper one. The car is 2010 2.5i version. Anyone who already did that is welcomed to share some tips and pics. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 All you need is a bluetooth dongle and obd2 reader app. The information is available to the ecm therefore displayable to you from the obd2 port. No need to complicate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmed2002 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I use this guage that plugs into the OBDII. It has soooo many different readings and is very customizable. Really easy to use too! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CHDKN4C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerrone Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 FLlegacy, Alexmed2002, sometimes the solution is simple, but you are somehow obstructed to see it from the first glance. Thank you for the suggestion. The link you provided is exactly what I would need. I will go that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy the same one I linked, make sure to go through the settings on it and calibrate the settings to match your car (For Example: How many Liters your car has).

creep_nu Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 how's the refresh resolution on those guys? i've been meaning to get something to monitor boost and water temp on my GT, but if it's going to be relatively slow refresh like Torque with a bluetooth dongle, it's not going to be useful for me.

awfulwaffle Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Check out BtSSM adapter. Fast enough to datalog, via bluetooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Didn't know these existed. Pretty cool actually. And to think I spent $600 to find out the engine temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read up on the reviews of the guage that I linked, it's not good for monitoring boost (it may still be able to). I use it myself, for the Oil & Water Temp and it is super accurate. From the second it's on until I turn the car off, it's great for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
