Oil Pressure Gauge Install help
What Size T-Clamp fitting do i need to use when installing the oil pressure gauge? Thanks
|
Where are u planning on installing it? on the block? or with an adapter?
|
ev1 is saying use an adapter but can i easily install it on the block? Or will it be best to use an oil adapter?
|
I'm trying with different adapters for the block, but so far I haven't been able to find one. My las try is in the mail right now. I'm waiting for an Autometer Fitting that is metric. Will see the results. I tried using the adapter at the oil filter but, that failed when the oil pressure pushed it and all my new oil spilled on the road when I hitted 3000 RPMs. :( That was a very bad day for my wallet.

|
That's the one I'm REALLY hoping that works.

It was an ebay one, supposedly u could use the stock Oil Filter, WORNG! I had my oil all spilled out during after installation. My buddy and I installed it and then we checked for any leaks. We rev the car once or twice to see if there was a problem, but none. Then I went on, and there it was. SPLASH! BLUMB BLUMB BLUMB! No Oil after that. Horrible.

Well guys I was succesfull at taping the block at the top for the Oil Pressure Sensor. :D
The part to use is: Autometer 2269 I turned the engine ON and no spill. I used thread locker on all the joints (5). I rev the engine all the way to 5,000RPM in Neutral(more stress) to see if it leaked. I maintained the RPMS up there like for 30sec. No spill, no leak. So I have yet to try it on gears around, but I will have the chance in about 10 minutes. It's kinda ghetto, but works better in my opinion. https://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f...1/DSC03697.jpg https://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f...1/DSC03698.jpg Autometer 2269 1/8NPT to 1/8BSPT https://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f...1/DSC03701.jpg |
Anyone know exactly where the sensor is on an xB 2006?? looking to add a mechanical gauge.
|
I have a autometer oil pressure gauge and I use a Greddy oil block adaptor. I just drilled and tapped one of the holes to make it work with the autometer sender. Hasnt leaked once.

Ok I got a link to the location under the intake manifold in a really hard to reach place - easy if you take the manifold off - yeah right!! This is going to be FUN! NOT!
