has anbody ever hooked up an oil pressure on there civic and if they did let me know how you did it cause i might have some questions

 

search. there are a ton of threads on this.

 

U CAN HOOK IT UP TO THE OIL SENSOR PORT IN BACK OF THE ENGINE JUST GOTTA GET THE FITTINGS STEATHMODE HAS THEM A VERY GOOD PRODUCT

 

Hook it up to the oil presure sensor right above the oil filter.

 

yeah you can hook it up the sending unit above the oil filter or you can get a sandwich plate with ports already on it so you can tap your oil pressure there

 

I hooked mine up to the back of the block, I used a British fitting ( that's what it calls for) and a 2' steel braided hose that goes to the sender unit located where my wiper motor is. Clean setup, requires a little drilling and cutting to make it fit under there but its worth it.

 

i guess what my question is, auto meter sends a oil sending unit with all there oil pressure guages, now the sending unit is supposed to go in the hole above the oil filter, and i was wondering how should i go about hookin up both the guage and hte light on the cluster. am i able to hook the light to the sending unit that came with the guage? or do i need to put a tee in the whole so i can hook up both?

thanks,

 

you can have the sending unit intact by leaving it alone by hooking up the feed from your autometer to a sandwich plate or you can buy a T-fitting in which you can hook up the sending unit above the filter and the autometer feed, contact/PM tunertoys

 

OR...you could use the oil port in the head just below the distributor and obviate the need to **** with the stock sensor. There should be a plug in the port that you can remove with a hex wrench/ allen key.

 

interesting, this is the first time ive read about this oil port by the dizzy...is there such a thing on d16y8s? would be a better locatino to run turbo oil from.......

First time I've heard about it too. Would make doing a turbo feed a whole lot easier. Any idea on the size of fitting it would need? Same as the one the oil sensor?

I've seen that plug and know what you are talking about, but is there a consistent supply of oil there? I've heard that it is bad to tap the oil from there.

I have seen a few people run their turbo feed from the head, but you would think that everyone would do it if it worked as well as using the stock oil pressure sensor location.

Any successful stories of using that plug as an oil feed source?
