Has anyone installed an oil pressure on a d16z6? the autometer instructions are really vauge, any help is appreciated

 

bump

 

yeah its easy, remove the oem oil press sensor by the filter and install the new sender. did you get a mechanical or electric gauge? i will provide pics if necissary.

 

If you dont run an oil filter sandwich adapter, with ports, you need to run a line from the pressure switch port, on the back of the block.
From the hose, Tee it off to add your pressure gauge and a spot for the factory switch.
If electrical, you will just attach the sending unit to the Tee and run a wire to the gauge.
If mechanical (kinda dumb), just run the line from the Tee to the gauge inside the car (and hope you dont leak, spraying oil everywhere inside).

The reason for the additional line, is because attaching any weight to the oil port at the back of the block, commonly leads to broken ****

If you want more information, search - this has been covered

 

its a mechancial autometer ultralight gauge, will i be able ot do this w/o pulling the engine?

 

yes...
crawl under there and you will see the factory oil switch next to the filter.
The thread is 1/8 bspt...so unless you feel like crossthreading a 1/8 npt fitting, you will also need an adapter
