Default Oil Pressure Gauge

Installing an Autometer electric oil pressure gauge on a 5th generation Prelude. Wondering what metric adapter do I need to be able to use and thread the sender unit to the block?

The sender it's self is a 1/8 " NPT. Any info on this would be appriciated.

Thanks.

Maybe I am wrong here but isn't there already a place on the back of the block for something like that? I swear I read something like that once for an H22.

That is correct. However, the problem is that the thread is in metric and the thread on the sender that came with the gauge is NPT so I won't be able to screw in the sender unit. I need an adapter for that and I need to find out which adapter will be able to thread to the block.

Oh sorry, I thought I posted the answer.

The block is threaded for 1/8" BSPT fitting. You'll need the block tee that's 1/8" BSPT to 1/8" NPT from stealthmode, or give Stan at Fast-turbo a call. They have all your oiling needs.

This is what you'll need: http://stealthmodeperformance....shtml

Stan at Fast-Turbo also has the BSP to NPT adapter as well, I ordered mine from him.

Many people use this type of fitting for turbo oil feeds, myself included. Goto the FAQ in the forced induction forum for more information.
