Default 1985 944 Porsche with LS1

Hey to all the people in here, I am looking for others that have the LS1 conversion in their 944.

I am having some wiring issues with the VDO Oil pressure sender and gauge, I am not sure how to run the wires. The sender has two prongs (g and wk) the gauage has three prongs (g,+, and an upside down T)

Also I have not figured out which wire/s go to the coolant sender that I ordered with the kit.

If anyone knows these thing it would help a porsche reborn and made better.

My appologies, I have no clue as to how to solve your problem, but someone else will.

I am responding to affirm your thoughts that an LS1 is EXACTLY what a 944 is lacking.

See there is a problem with 944hybrids. I am a member there to, but it seems that no one who has ever did the ls1 swap knows how to wire a sender and guage. They look at my question but never respond.

I had three replies in one night on LS1Tech. Just goes to show the kin manship of people.

I appreciate your help.

I'll post the Renegade Hybrids link. I don't know if it'll help, but it's very much do-able.
