Coolant Temp Sender Unit - Something I noticed...
awhile doing the s4 NA>s5 TII conversion. We Installed the Microtech LT8 flawlessly. But with the LT8, you lose the function of the stock Water Temp readings. The good thing Is (s4 that Is) that you are able to regain It back should you fillet the stock Harness open to fish It out and plug It In to It's respective spots ie. Coolant Temp Sender Unit (the one under the Oil Filler Neck) leading to the Gold Harness Plug (found at the Passengerside right kick panel).
So I wired It like so but noticed the stock Water Gauge readings to go no higher than millimeters above C. Are the s4 & s5 Coolant Sender Units different In terms of output value? I know the s4 Sensor will not accept the s5 TII block on account of the pitch thread being different. Even though I have the Hand Controller and my Greddy Water Temp Gauge to give me my respective readings, I'm a bit particular on the stocker doing It's job. Any Input would be appreciated.
*Side Note* As for the LT8 Install - You lose the Water temp function, as mentioned, Cruise Control, Front Wipers aswell as the Harness Plug to the Alternator. All these could be retrieved with your favourite X-Acto knife.

Whether its the series four or the series five sender unit......if put in 80degree C water, the resistance should be 57.7 to 49.3 ohms. See the manual, under METERS, for what the gauge itself should look like at different resistances.

Would it work if you got an S5 guage cluster?

Unless someone can come through, I'll have to take the s5 sensor out to check the pitch thread.

You could've just run another wire and splice into the yellow wire in the kickpanel.
