Ive got a powerfc going in which monitors and logs alot of things but oil temp and pressure.

These are two things i want to keep an eye on.

So im wondering what my options are, i would rather not have to go two gauges but rather a digital readout of some kind.
if i HAD to go gauges, they would have to use a sender unit for obvious reasons.

Ive got a oil filter relocator kit going in, which i notice have two provisions for oil sensors, im guessing one temp and one pressure, which works out sweet.

just need to work out what devices to use.

Thoughts?

Todd, the sensors will plug directly into the trust oil filter adapter. If you really don't want to go two seperate gauges, your best bet is probably the "Defi-Link Display" see: http://www.defi-shop.com/product/dp/dp_top.html

You will still need to purchase the Defi Control Unit II for it to function though. You will also need to purchase the sensor sets seperately for the Defi-Link Display (oil temp, oil press), whereas they are included when you purchase the individual gauges.

Todd, if you get a chance, check out Chris' gauges. You'll want them instead.

main reason why i dont really want gauges is because theres not alot of practical places to put them in my supra, so i kinda wanted one display that does everything, hence the defi link display.

what that cant show the power fc commander will.
