If Anybody has any info please put it down ...... And by the way this on going on a jdm dohc Zc with pm6 ecu

 

What specific info are you looking for? The wiring itself isn't too hard.

 

cuz on the direction is says to hook up the sender wire to the oil pressure sender i just dont know where the oil pressure sender is on my engine/car

 

The oil pressure sending unit is located right next to the oil filter. It should be a one prong connector. The only thing is you cannot use the Honda sending unit, you will have to use the one that came with the gauge. If it's an Autometer gauge, you can screw the Autometer unit into the hole of the stock one. The threads don't quite match, but they are very close 1/8"standard vs. 1/8"metric. If you never plan to take the gauge out, this method should be ok. If not, you will have to use a T-fitting. Use the search function on this site, there should be write-up's on how to do it. (Check the archives first).

 

thanks man u been a big a help now i know how to do it thanks for the info

 

Do not run it right on the block, you will run the risk of it cracking right off. I have seen it happen to, so its no b.s. Autometer even tells you not to run it right off the block. Here is how I have mine

 

but mines isnt machanical gauge mines is electric one

Yes I know, but you sitll have to hook it up to the block which your not suppose to do. Mine is electrical to, just rerouted from the block to the fire wall. If you mount it right on the block it could break off while your driving.

 

how would it break off ? the stock sensor doesnt break off. plz explain

 

thanks for the info u been a big help

 

u have to run a line from a high pressure oil line to the sensor, then you run wires from the sensor to your gauge

The stock sensor really does not hang off the block, the after market ones do. Plus the after market ones weigh more. Autometer voids the warranty if you mount it on the block also, they tell you if you have a high reving engine to mount it some where else. The vibration causes it to crack off.

 

Does any body have a pic of the stock sensor and where on the sensor am i supposed to wire it up to.

 

the sensor only has one wire for signal...the rest you wire in the car switched power and ground (same for the lighting)

if you cant figure it out I suggest letting a shop do it before you destroy your car

This isn't always true. If you are using non soft hose (like a copper hose) and not braided stainless, you're going to have to put it on the block. Because when your motor flexes at the high revs it's going to try to bend the hose. However if you're using some sort of soft, easily flexible oil line going to your sending unit, then yes mounting it to the chassis and not to the engine is the better plan.

 

the rest of the wiring i know how to do....... just the wire that goes on the engine thats a little tricky .......just need to know what that sensor looks like where the wire supposed to go to

 

the sender comes with the gauge and if you dont have the sender you need to go buy one...you cant use the sensor that sends the oil pressure dummy light signal

see that big brass cylinder in the pic above? thats the autometer sender and thats what u connect the wire to
