oil pressure guage
 

Hey I just bout a cluster of three guages, an ammater,oil pressure and water temp I dont have any trouble putting the ammater in but the oil pressure and water temp I am having a bit
ok first question can I take oil pressure if I install a T junction before my oil cooler??? if not there I have to tap into the block yea???
and the water temp the same deal drilling and tapping a hole??? thanks for any help on this as im soooo close to paying for it to get done:(

its alot of work, check the diy threads in the tech forums

i don't know why you couldn't just do like everyone else and T off the block where the O/P sending unit goes in. just remove it and get a proper T fitting. like GB said though, check the DIY threads for the right sizes and such. hell, there may even be part numbers in there somewhere....

sounds like a ton of work

we will have to see ill try and machine one of those addaptors with a few mods to make it fit nice and snug... i put a pressure guage in on my 13b turbo rx4, an autometer one but that was a walk in the park compared to this...being a dry sump you can tap into it anywhere lol... looks like i got a big weekend ahead...

Re: oil pressure guage
 

you can T it into the line anywhere. At the oil cooler is fine, I had it there once, measured no difference between the cooler inlet and the block outlet.

i just bought one of those adaptor plates, it works a treat and no tapping into different lines... ill post up some pictures
