Oil pressure gauge...

[ShagginJet]

Wondering whos running what, and how hard it was to setup. Also oil temp if someone's running one.

Trying to decide what I want to purchase.

I use the autometer oil pressure gauge right now and I have the oil temp gauge on the way. It's really easy to install all you need to do is remove the stock pressure sensor, install a T fitting into the block and then plug in both your stock sensor and your pressure sensor from the gauge into the T. Wire up the gauge and youre done. Took about 5 minutes to do.

As for the oil temp gauge I can't say much about it cause it hasn't come yet but it shouldn't be much harder to install than the pressure gauge. If your cars is running basic mods I wouldn't really look too much into the temp gauge but if you are looking to turbocharge now or sometime in the near future it would be a good idea to have both.

The gauges I have in my car are (and just ordered)
Air/Fuel Ratio
Oil Pressure
Oil Temprature
Exhaust Gas Temp
Fuel Pressure
Boost/Vacum

It's in the works, just waiting for my turbo to comeback from getting rebuilt and finishing up getting miscellaneous clamps and fittings.

ShagginJet: The oil filter relocation kit is another thing that I was looking into getting (and I might just get it while im at it) makes life easier when changing oil not to mention it's alot easier to T off the line from the kit than having all the T's hanging off the back of the block.

hondaman-iac: The stock oil pressure switch is located on the left side of the oil filter. It looks like a bolt with a rubber boot around it with a wire coming out of it.

It's a 1999 Mitsubishi T-25, well actually that's what it's started out as. It's being upgraded to a T-28. I was looking for something small quick spooling that would flow enough air for my motor. I thought that T-25 would be sufficent enough but I came to find out that it wasn't, so that's the reason for the upgrade. I thought this would be a better choice because the 2 turbo's are almost identical so the spool times should almost be the same. The turbo is being done at Blue Ribbon in Long Island NY.
