Finished install


NO Leaks ,gauge working great first started the car OP @ 80 psi for 30 seconds then gradually dropped to 45 and stayed there . HAPPY CAMPER

 

Nice job Howard.

When I saw you were using SSbraided line, I thought you were going with a mechanical gauge. I assume there isn't enough room to install the sender on the engine?

Great post! Looks like a great place to tap oil pressure for a turbo

 

James . I couldn't really find a suitable spot on the engine , I had thought about the location of the rubber bushing (for lack of a better word) that help hold the stock enjine cover down , but decied to run it back to the firewall. this was a fairly easy and clean install and is well out of the way of the belt if the belt where to break or come off it would not effect the fitting . pull the fan and belt and your there.


Lantana TX , , Probably so

 

Very nice. VERY nice. Clean and simple,

The line holders on the mani is just billet plug wire seperators ,,any parts house will have these ..fairly cheap.

 

This looks pretty good for the gauge , sender & wiring : ( $64.99 w/free shipping )
Blue Digital LED Oil Pressure Gauge

But you are correct, need the banjo with 90 degree bend and the bolt specifics .......

( also, where the heck do you put the gauge ????? ) - never mind on this too. I see hcarter's sig says "Tri Pillar Pod w/GlowShift Gauges"

never mind, posted AFTER hcarter replied.

total cost : @ $50 for hardware, $65 for gauge = $115

 

Howard,
that is a GREAT install job.... I actually have 3 banjo bolts here as I was trying to find a better way to do that too.... so now I have another option if I decide to add an oil gauge later......

 

This will be a great help to all!

Thanks for this...

 

is there a way to add an electrical sensor to run into my dashdaq?

 

If you have a ziltronix with your Dashdaq you can.

 

i have it. run the setup you have to a sensor then in to the zt-2?

 

That should get you a reading to your daq . Rudy can get you in the right direction as far as a sensor.. I'm running mine to a gauge ,with the fuel rail pressure, and Boost ,everything else I get from my daq,

 

Steve,
That is what I would do(some day).... run an AEM 10bar pressure sensor output to the Zitronix...
