Yeah I knew the temperature gauge had a massive flat spot. Might look at the watchdog.

Yeah ok I have a 1hdt so similar layout to a 1hz. I think I know the spot your are talking about. What sort of temperatures are you seeing

Yeah ok so they are definitely worth it

Yeah that's a good point. Especially if you loose your coolant. Where would be the best spot to mount the probe

Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone is using a engine watchdog. I was thinking of running a aftermarket temp gauge but then thought about the watch Dog. Is there much temperature difference with a aftermarket temp gauge inside the coolant and the watchdog that is bolted externally. Just really...

Yeah that's fair enough. I'm going to leave it vented. Have it under the gearbox sticking out through a hole in the bash plate.

What are you going to do go back to the air intake.

Yeah it is all down hill so nothing will pool up. I was just wondering if the air moving under the hose at high speeds might restrict it a little bit.

Shouldn't it always be open. If the hose is blocked then there will be a restriction. Or did I not understand what you mean

Haha. Yeah I thought the same. Should I cut the hose with a triangle slit to help it draw out while driving or should it be fine at high speeds

Well I have removed it. I have ran the hose all the way to the gearbox bash plate and the hose is facing down through a hole on the bash plate least I won't smell any fumes. Hose length is just over a metre. Having a long hose shouldn't be a issue?

Yeah a vacuum is fine but a restriction is another. Also I noticed when removing my provent there was a oily residue. I think the safety valve had been popping off. Obviously it can't handle crankcase gases from the Toyota.

Yeah ok cause looking at mine I wouldn't mind running it to the gearbox bash plate.

Yeah I definitely won't have that problem. Was more concerned a longer hose will be harder for it to breath.

Yeah ok. That's fair enough. Is it a problem that the hose will be longer than factory
