from the looks fo it i have to run an oil line to the guage... correct me if im wrong.. so where would i hook up the oil line? on the engine i know but is there a spot on the d16's where i could hook it to?

 

i'm curious as well on to where to hook up the oil line, but i got a GSR......any difference compared to the d16?

 

GSR application: I've taken out the oil pressure sender (in the back of the block, couple of inches below the throttle body, i think its a 22mm) and replaced it with the autometer fitting (mechanical gauge). It worked great for me. You can also get a T fitting to have both the gauge and the sender connected. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

 

yea you take out the oil sending unit than use the t brass fitting to send oil through the gauge. the oil feending you need a 24mm socket i beleive. kinda hard to reach but you'll get it. wish i had a picture to show you. make sure you use a stainless braided sending unit thou. i have the hks one and its copper or something n ot sure..and braided which is good thing, duno how the autometer one is. btw this is for the d16y8

I have mine done this way, and it works great.

Just make sure to coat all the fitting's threads with a drop of Hondabond to prevent leaks.

And NO, you do not run the line directly to the guage. You have to T into the factory sender hole, and have both the Autometer and factory sending unit installed, or you will get a CEL for oil pressure and VTEC will not work.

Ive got an electric guage if you dont want to deal with plumbing in an oil line to your guage

 

I went the same route. It's easier to go with the Ele one.

 

Yep the electric one is better and safer than the mech one but not as accurate

can i ask you guys that have gotten an electric one were you have purchased it from and for how much?

 

Try ebay.com that's where I got mines from. But you can buy it from any auto store, being that your from PR, I would try to get a SuperStreet mag or any import mag and just order it from there.
