DIY Request: install Oil Pressure & Temperature gauge
 

Hi
First off I did :search: but could not find what I'm looking for.

Does anyone have a DIY for where to place the Oil Pressure sensor & Temperature sensor?

Planning to get the mishimoto oil cooler, so I can't use a trd sensor plate.
And for Gauge I'm going with Innovate Oil Pressure & Temperature http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/mtx-...ture-1402.html

Pictures of where you mounted the sensors, and a description of what is needed for the job would be great! :cheers:

Here's my gauge pod I made for 2 1/16th inch gauges.

thanks, but I ment where you mounted the sensors :)

Find a sensor adapter for the oil galley plug on google:

M18x1.5 sensor adapter

Not sure if a Y adapter can fit in there with both sensors, but here's a post showing the plug location:

You can get oil temp through ODB2 port, really only need the pressure sensor.

Yeah but the innovate gauge got both in one gauge :thumbsup:

You can find extender for bulky sender unit.

I have the exact same gauge mounted in my car. I'm using one of the block8head defrost vent dual pods. See here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66333

As for the installation, I used this as a guide: http://www.autometer.com/resources/i...uide_view/id/3

**edit 1/5/16 I had the incorrect part number listed for the autometer adapter... This has been corrected

Note for the innovate pressure sender, you WILL need the autometer adapter (**2269) if you're going to install it in the stock sending location (what I did). I used a galley plug and gasket from rallysport direct, which worked perfectly for the temp sensor. (the innovate temp sensor is threaded for PT, which matches the galley plug at RSD) http://www.rallysportdirect.com/cata...eywords=galley

if your patient give me 2-3 weeks i can make a guide for the install..
i will be using innovate oil temp/pressure gauge which i sort of already installed
but will re-adjust to make fit for my turbo
and a AEM FAIL SAFE gauge as well

I'm using an ATX vent Pod Gauge
and block8head vent defrost gauge

Sounds awesome! And yeah I got time:thanks:.. stuck at sea until the end of July :sigh:

I'm also going to use a block8head defroster pod for my innovate oil temp/pressure gauge :D

but if u install in factory location its rt by the OEM pressure switch which Innovate specifically says NOT TO DO....

that leaves just the galley plug and pressure would go there, but then temp is left out

The innovate pressure sender is too large to fit in the galley location under the alternator, I didn't have a relocation kit, so I replaced the factory pressure switch with the innovate sender and it's been working fine for the few months I've had it installed.

The manual for the gauge says not to install it next to the oil pump, or to the pressure switch itself. It didn't say anything about replacing the switch ;)

No cel or issues with the OEM light it controls? And what did u do about the connector that plugs into it, just tie it back?

Yes the switch is normally grounded, so disconnecting it doesn't trigger a CEL or the pressure light on the dash. Note that you will lose that functionality (but it is replaced by your gauge) And yes, i just zip tied it out of the way.
