Installing oil pressure/temp probes
Anyone install an oil pressure/temp probe yet? On the older WRX there was an unused oil gallery plug which could be used, you just replaced the plug with one of these:
http://www.rallysportdirect.com/Suba...il-Galley-Plug but I don't know about the FA20 Another option is an oil filter sandwich adapter, like the Greddy one or one of the 100 Ebay ones which have multiple output ports on them. My thoughts are the sandwich adapter would make things incredibly easy on this car with the filter sitting on top of the engine and mounting the sender units would be a piece of cake as well. Anyone see an issue with using a sandwich adapter? |

In my case, I have the greddy sandwich plate and I now realize there is no space for me to place the Airaid Intake Box. Other than that, its good. Cheers |

What are you doing with regards to mounting gauges? I have a set of old Greddy 52mm oil pressure, boost, and water temp gauges from my WRX but I'm thinking if gettin one their new 62mm multi gauges. I like that it's like 4 functions in in gauge and has peak and warning where my 52mm do not.
Good point on the direction. You can get one from Fastwrx or Prosport which can be rotated 360 degrees in order to position the senders in the best position. http://prosportgauges.com/oil-filter-adaptor-plate.aspx Last edited by xwd; 08-26-2012 at 04:25 PM. |

Hmmmm I wonder if the ODB port gets oil temp information, I'll be using the Torque app to view the data.

I believe so, Perrin was monitoring oil temp and water temp on their dyno and I don't think they installed a specific gauge to do so. There is no factory oil pressure gauge though, just the OEM warning light which comes on at very low pressure.

With regards to the adaptor plate, its not about the rotation. The Greddy thermostat allows you to set it in any direction as well. It is only the configuration of the engine bay, with the oil top up point and other essentials that forces you to mount the adaptor in only one way. Another way would be to relocate the oil filter.

I've be meaning to install an oil temp and preferably an oil pressure gauge to go along with my perrin oil cooler. I would like to ask if there's a guide or any advice on where to install the probes besides getting a sandwich plate that has probe inputs.
And what's this about OP's post on a galley plug? Any information on that too? I have been searching and reading a few threads, however, they tend to deviate from the topic. Couldn't find a straight answer. Cheers guys |

For the oil pressure, I find this solution pretty slick: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82414

Yes i am aware of the oil temp sensor from the factory. However, I'd like to see if there's a location at the engine which enables me to plug an analog sensor before I decide to settle for an OBD setup. Thanks for the response! |

Hooked up my oil pressure sensor through the galley plug setup! I must say its a great location to set it up!
Really hassle free and it looks like it'll last! Highly recommended. |

Bought mine at my local dealer's spare parts department. You could get it from RSD too if they can get it to you for cheap and quickly.
