How to install the cyberdyne digital temperature Gauge.

This is similar to the gage install that is listed in the tech pages except I using a digital gauge and a different splice .

Here is what you need
Cybertyne digital Gauge
wire
You either need a SPL splice that you can get from http://www.ulmerracing.com/ or you need to make your own as I did.
2" whole saw
misc hand tools

Her is what I did .I cut the 2" hole in the dash with the whole saw . I sealed the back of gauge with silicone to make sure water did not get in.I programmed gage to flash at 215 degrees . This must be done before install. as you will not have access to it after.I installed the gauge into dash. next step is to splice into wires that feed the instrument panel.I wired into the hot feed and ground at this point. Then you need one wire to go to the sender and a ground.I removed the some coolant and then Cut the splice into the hose that comes out from the motor. I installed splice and sending unit. The photo's tell the story, There was some question of this gauge holding up the the effects of the winter conditions so before I splice the hose ,I powered The gauge and put 120 miles on the sled . There didn't seem to be any issues with the snow cover the gauge or the bumps.Hope this helps

Looks good S-C. I have an ice blue cyberdyne gauge on order. The only thing that I still have questions on is the wiring. How exactly did you wire it? Which wires did you splice into (color and location)? How many wires need to get hooked up? Positive, ground, and one wire from sending unit to gauge correct?

Oh, I was also wondering what the actual sending unit looks like? What size thread and how long is it?

The gauge comes with 4 wires (as long as you got the one that has no memory)One goes to the sending unit one goes to power and one goes to ground. The last one suppossed to go to a switched light, But we dont have one . What it does is dimms the display so it not so bright. I left it unhooked,The result is its a little brigher at night than in the day. They also use this wire for programming at what temp you like it to flash at.you could put a switch in for that wire. The sending unit has a 1/8 NPT tread . The sending unit sticks out a little over 1/2 inch from the treads.If you are hooking up to a vector or rage the big brown wire is the gound and the hot wire is what the service book calls blue and red, But its more violet with a redish line. here is 2 more photos these are right beweent the headlight so the short leads that come with the gauge will reach.

Cool......sounds good.

Just wish I could put the sensor in somewhere without having to cut and splice into the hose.

Good Job!!!!

FWIW

Even before I saw this thread, I contacted Cyberdyne (saw them in JEGS) and asked if these were suitable for use on a sled. They said NO -- gage is not designed to be exposed to the elements and shaking and jarring could give inaccurate readings and gage could fail rather quickly.

FYI I have installed 4 different Auto meter gauges with zero problems.

Awesome tutoral Storm!

I run mine 2,000 miles with no problems, But I sealed it so no water will get in. I have had the sled completely barried in snow. But if you can find one made for a boat, That would be better Yet

I really like the look of the Cyberdyne gage, but their website made no mention of outdoor use. So I emailed them.

It's likely they've never tested it outdoors so they say "it wont work". If you've put 2k miles with one on, I think it's a safe install.

Where did you get the t-tube to splice into the coolant line again?

I had mine made But you can buy a slp splice from http://www.ulmerracing.com/

If you use the cyber gauge you must seal it with silcone.

Thanks storm for the reply i am going to put one on mine if not this year defenetly next year thanks man you did a awsome job.
