Not quite a btdt, but a parallel, at least.  If the 93 90's did come
with the gauges in some trim, the wires should be there, but this is a
bit of a wild guess.  For instance, the "missing" gauge wires are there
on a 4kq (no 4kq came with gauges, it's just the same harness as the coupe)

Senders - voltage is not required, it's just battery voltage, obviously.
  The oil temp sender lives, in the I5 anyway, in a hole in the bottom
of the oil pump.  The oil pressure sender is a two pin sender swapped in
for one of the oil warning senders.  On the side of the I5, at least.
