Best/Preferred gauges for monitoring.

[OrbitalEllipses]

I only buy gold-plated, diamond-encrusted gauges made in the mountains of Japan by samurai artisans.

Npt to bspt adapter ?

This b*tch is selective like that, does not want anyone and everyone plugging its holes just because...

A P3 gauge is a good buy, then.

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

You mean fittings, and they come from McMaster-Carr.

My apologies, I meant to write 1/8 PT. I found a 1/8 PT x 1/8 PT elbow at trico-oilers.com Haven't searched though their whole inventory for a PT to NPT adapter though.

You can always get Mach V oil galley plug adapter and use the 1/8 NPT angled adapter on that..

Although some might disagree with this, bspt and nt threads are nearly identical. If you use Teflon tape and tighten it down really hard, it won't leak. I think the difference between the two is like a couple of threads tighter out of 30 or so

Obviously an adapter is the better bet, but this will work in a pinch

I run the P3Cars Vent Gage. I really like it, however I find myself wanting to monitor AFR and Boost at the same time sometimes so I might be switching soon.

Maybe it's the aircraft mechanic in me, or the fact that I hate leaks from my engine.. but this is a terrible idea when the right part costs a few bucks.

Yeah I'm not condoning it or saying everyone should do it, but it does work and it will seal. IIRC, the PT Male/NT Female adapter is easy to find, but the NT Male/PT Female is not.

Another option is to tap the gallery plug fitting as needed

Didn't think about that. Haha. Thanks for pointing that out.

Funny you state my thoughts. I have a gauge for the wideband that I might install as soon as I find a pod that isn't intrusive. I love the P3 for that. Greddy has a multi gauge that reads boost full time and I think two others. I wonder if it can do AFR as well.

Isn't the units being metric a bit of a hindrance?

Right beside the throttle body there is a hex plug. Unscrew it, screw in the galley, screw in your sensor and wire it.

This galley plug is NOT NPT. It is BSPT. Different threads. Auto meter makes a BSPT to npt adapter that should be used.
