Re: Oil pressure (D.specs)
My oil pressure sits around 75-80 when the car is warm and running...about 15-20 at idle. I have an electric gauge...I attached the sender with a T to the factory oil pressure sender on the block near the filter...

Re: Oil pressure (D.specs)
Here's a picture of where the oil pressure port is on the H22a head. It's on the passenger side near the back. The top left is the coil and blue on the top right is plug wires. This thing has a brass plug in it with a hex socket. You can see it's been taken out and a line run to it.

Here's a small video zooming into the port: (I don't think you can stream it)

and a small video of the gauge working:

Just make sure you ground the sender to the chassis somehow.
I'll be writing up an install article this week for http://www.hondaprelude.to

Re: Oil pressure (G)
That's an H22a1 (4th Gen), but it's exactly the same on the H22a4 (5th Gen). The picture is of a friends car, but that's where my oil supply line for the turbo is tapped into.

Re: Oil pressure (vntperformance)
I was going to put all that in an install article, which I have written, I just need to take more pictures. Anyway, the fittings.
Go to the Autometer web page under accessories.
You need the 3' braided -3 line. I think you can use the kevlar as well, but I'm not certain if it comes with the NPT fittings like the braided line comes with.
The fitting that actualy fits into the port is a 1/8" BSPT, so you need a 1/8" BSPT adapter, which you can find under Metric Adapters.
That's it, it's all you need.
