Hey I have a quik question about oil press. gauge's on tC's. I just installed the Cobalt 0-100 psi oil press gauge and I was just wonder what psi the engine runs stock? When I started the engine it was about 40 psi after I let it warm up good it dropped to 20 psi. So at idle Im at 20psi and under high RPM to goes up to about 70psi. Does this sound right? First timer here.

Thanks

 

Yeah that sounds right.

 

Thanks

 

did u use a oil filter adapter to install the oil pressure line?

 

I used a Greddy oil block adapter.

 

I used the GReddy block adaptor as well. I used autometer gauges and had to have the hole for the sensor re-tapped because the threads on the sensor were too big.

 

so did u guys who use a greddy block adapter, use a different size oil filter? or did u use the same size oil filter?

 

Factory oil filter.

 

yeah me too. Just used stock filter

 

i heard that some people who use a oil filter adapter, they have to use a different size oil filter. anyway, where u guys get this greddy adapter from? i want one for my oil pressure gauges.

I didnt get mine from there but thats the same adaptor.

 

the site saids that it fits the 02-04 wrx and the evo. so does it fit the scion tc?

 

yes it will fit

 

I went back and looked through my old emails. This is where I bought mine http://store.racerwheel.org/tp-12002801.html Like I said though, If you plan on using autometer gauges you will have to have the sensor holes on the adaptor re-tapped. The AC adaptor will fit autometer gauges you just wont be able to use the stock filter.

 

what do u mean re-tapped?

 

The sensor itself will screw into the adaptor. The threads on autometer sensors are too large to fit into the threads on the greddy adaptor. I took the adaptor to a machine shop and the re-tapped(meaning make the hole for the sensor larger) for free. It's really not a big deal.

 

where did u go to make the hole larger? for free?

 

I just took it to a machine shop. Anyway that does metal work should be able to do it. I dont know if I got lucky but they didnt charge me a thing. They said it only took about 15 mins to do it and not to worry about it

 

u lucky.

 

i see now that greddy offers 3 different thread sizes and 2 diff. o-ring sizes. do you still have to modify the adaptor?
