i spent a lot of time reading up on how to hookup the oil pressure guage and im still confused on one thing.

do i need to get the autometer sending unit or can i just use the stock one? or do i need both?

You only need the autometer sending unit if you are using the autometer gauge. If you are not using the autometer gauge then you don't need the second "T" fitting.

http://www.mcmaster.com They will be in the pipe fitting menu, one of the fittings is under the stainless option, the rest should be under the brass fitting section.

There is one thread somewhere on here that has the mcmaster part numbers listed.

 

im getting the autometer guage so i guess i need their sending unit too. but do i put it in place of the stock one or do i hook up both?

thanks for the good info so far

 

i didn't use the OEM one, because I'm using the autometer one, I've been told that the reading your OEM oil press. sensor gives you is when your basically dry on oil, and by then you probably already did your damage. I'm also using an AEM EMS but i'm not sure if that makes a difference.....

 

i bought my autometer from http://www.jegs.com part# 105-4327 it comes with the sender and it's only $50. That part number is for the 2 1/16" but you can get the bigger one on the same page.

 

Alright, I have a question.

I already have 1 tee fitting, much like C, except for the fact that one side bspt. (it's the greddy fitting I believe). I also have the OPSU attached on to the long side of the tee fitting. the f and g simply attach to the bottom of the tee fitting like the diagram.

My question is, should I simply use what I already have, but run a 1 foot line (G in the diagram) to the fittings in the diagram, with the OPSU on the end of the tee fitting, like turbo install instructions say to do.....and then just use 2 other tee fittings like the diagram shows.?

Forgive my art work

oil press gauge-----T--------------T-----oil temp gauge
RRRRRRRRRRRR l
RRRRRRRRRRRR l
block-----OPSU

PS there's suppose to be a T fitting between the block and OPSU...and the R's are just there to make space

Does that look like it woudl work?

autozone has the bspt fitting and a few others in a 5$ pack. the rest you can find at napa or your favorite plumbing store.

 

i had really good luck w/ getting the parts at home depot for my oil pressure guage and my vacuum manifold.. they might be a little more expensive but there is usually a home depot open later then most autoparts stores, and i was doing this at 10pm one night and needed parts
