what exactly u need to know

the whole process

well u are going to have to tap into block or use the low oil pressure switch honda has in the block of ur currect block

that is where I tapped mine at used some npt fittings I got a home depot or lowes or any hardware store

and then run the regular plastic line which I wouldn't recommend as if u crack it or bent it and leaks will be everywhere inside

thent he wiring should be pretty simple if u have the instructions if not u will need three wires
one for power, another for ground and the third for switched power for the light in the gauge

if u still confused u can ask me

as I know I kinda of wrote it quickly

go to http://www.tunertoys.com and get the oil fitting.
then just run the necessary tubing.

If I were you i'd go w/ a elec one. The mechanical one requires HOT PRESSURIZED oil to go to the back of the gauge! if that leaks it'll burn!

electronic is teh way to go, mechanical the oil line goes to the back off the gauge. and if the fitting on the line to the gauge breaks you will probablly get oil all over the inside of you car.
