Hey i got autometer oil pressure gauge and it came with some clear lines. I dunno where to connect it to...it looks like i would tee it off to a vaccuum line?? But what vacuum line?? Someone told me to tee it on the back of the block where my turbo feed line is hooked up, but the line it came with looks like its for a vacuum...PleaSe help..thanks.

they were correct u need to connect it to oil no a vaccume that would not be to smart now would it the oil pressure not the vaccume. u need to connect ti to that spot on the block were ur oil sendin unit comes out with a T fitting

So then could i still use that plastic line it came with? or would i need to go buy some stainless steel braided line? Cuz it just seems like that plastic line would fall off...thanks again.

You can keep the plastic hose, it will be fine, the steel braided hose is better because it keeps it insulated from the heat of the block, however the stock hose will do. A cheap way to do it also is, get yourself some vacuum hose, which is dirt cheap and just use that to insulate the hose, it will fit perfectly over the hose, thats what i did.

If you like your engine, do NOT connect it like the one above.

Spend some extra money, buy a t-block and hook it up like how http://www.theoldone.com describes.

Also, make sure you ground the stock oil pressure sensor or the sensor will not work properly.

Ive run it like that with no probs so far, but i do want to change it, do you know the direct link for that install?

I agree with Drifen EF8 here.

Here are some more links on oil pressure guage installs. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id...=700715#700715 https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id...=623791#623791 https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id...=886636#886636

I plan on using the z10 fiting and going strait off the oil pump for my turbo feed. The only down side to that is you need an inline oil filter. I am going to use Earls # 4 filter. but for a gauge a fitler isn't needed.

This is the best way. And I can tell you first hand that the other way acn crack a block(first hand!! )

So then if i already have a tee off the block for my turbo feed, I should connect it straight from the oil pump? Or can i get another tee and have 2 tees off the block...kinda ghetto thinking bout it that way. I'm gonna try ur way of feeding the turbo off straight from the oil pump and teeing the oil gauge to the block. Thanks alot guys.

I wouldn't put 1 tee on the block nevermind 2!!!

I think you should not use any tees off the block, but that is just me...
