i know exactly how to install the electrical oil pressure guage. but i have already t'd off my d16z6 block for my oil line to my turbo. I was just wondering should i T off of that line or should i run a line from the back of the block to a 4 way split thing.

remove your stock oil pr. sensor from the T. instead run a feed line to your oil pr. guage from there.

do they sell fittings that is a 3 way ? turbo, oil presure sensor and oil pressure gauge?

Check out this super manifold for all your oil, fuel, or vacuum needs..

Wouldn't the readings be the same?

skierGT

that super manifold is cool

TGARCIARACING are u saying not to use my stock sensor atr all?

Garcia-Racing

yes. just use the oil pressure guage. it will tell you what you need to know.

booscivic

That manifold you have to becarefurl it looks a little bit heavy and can brake, my frined had one of those and a broke the part that goes in the block!

skierGT

well if i had that block i would run a a/n line to it and mount it somewhere. i think thats what the pic shows

skierGT

and without the stock sensor i will throw a CEL correct? so how do i fix this?

pm flamenco-t aka stan, he's the fittings guy on honda tech.

He can sell ya what you need.

P.S. Don't tee everything off the block EVER!!! Run a SS line from stock oil pres sensor hole to the fire wall then tee everything off from there.

I had a really really bad experience with mounting the sender on the t a few years ago.

luti

I ran mine like this:

Port on the back of the block was connected to a SS line which ran to a T that was hung on the firewall. One end of the T went to another SS line to the turbo. The other end of the T goes to another T with the stock oil pressure sensor and my electric oil pressure sender.

Works great, haven't had a problem since I installed it 6 months ago and cost a few dollars at a hardware store.

I have a question for everyone running their sender off of a tee, how did you ground it?

luti

Didn't realize it had to be. But i guess it makes sense that mine is since I used a metal pipe clamp type object found in the plumming section of Home Depot (looks like 3/4" wide piece of sheet metal bent into a circular type shape with a flat side with hole to mount it to the wall, and the opposite side open with a long screw/nut through it to clamp down on the pipe that should run through the middle of the piece). The bracket is then bolted to the firewall, so the sender must ground that way.

you won't throw a code. it's just a sensor that turns on a light when the oil pressure is not up to snuff. i have been running without mine for 3+ years now and no problems.

CaptainMorgan

how could it not throw codes. if the sensor doesn't see pressure it will turn on the oil pressure lamp.

Read the post above or look at an ecu pinout, oil pressure switch is a dummy switch, and only relays to the gauge cluster when oil pressure is too low.

Mine isn't grounded so it doesn't even work. No codes.

skierGT

thanx alot guys
im going to go with luti's basic setup
gotta see what i can find at home depot

Garcia-Racing

It wont throw a code. I ran it on my street car like the for over 2 years. dont cheese on your set up with some home depot stuff. use the 3 wat tee. just lookin out 4 ya.
