DIY Request: install Oil Pressure & Temperature gauge

Awesome. And as for temp in galley port... The SUBIE galley plug doesn't work right? Do u know the auto meter part number?

The innovate temp sender is 1/8" PT, so you will need a galley plug threaded as such. I don't know if autometer makes a galley plug for it. The one I linked to earlier at rally sport works well and is threaded correctly. Many galley plugs from other vendors are threaded for 1/8" NPT which will not work for the innovate sender. Just pay attention when you order it and you'll be fine.

Anyone tried to use this gauge (INNOVATE Oil temp & pressure gauge), with the mishimoto oil cooler? And know if I can fit them in the sandwitch plate?

from ft86speedfactory; Install Tip
If not installing any gauge sending units into the housing you will need to use Teflon tape on the side ports to get a good seal. Teflon tape can be found at a local hardware store for 99 cents. A tiny amount is then applied to the treads of the side allen bolts on the housing and then installed back in securely.

You will need female PT to male NPT adapters with the mishimoto kit. Not sure about the clearance for the pressure sender though.

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

Where did you install the temp and pressure sensor?
Any ?
Looking forward for your DIY install

I just got an e-mail from @[Mishimoto] about the ports in their housing at the oil cooler kit: Yes, the BRZ oil cooler kit comes with (2) 1/8" NPT ports so you can install sensors.

So now I know where to install my pressure and temp sensors
Any1 running the Innovate oil temp & pressure gauge know if I need any adapters for that?

Auto meter 2269

Converts 1/8 npt to 1/8 pt(also called Bspt)

Corrected my post to proper part #, but that's for pressure. Don't think it'll work with temp due to size

You sure thats the correct nr? When I search for "Auto meter 2269" I find 1/8" NPT female to 1/8" BSPT male, but I need the opposite

After the sensor is 1/"bspt (please correct me if it's not bspt, but with my search results thats what I found out) and the hole in the housing is 1/8" npt

Whey can't Innovate just use NPT instead of BSPT

But thanks for all the help anyhow!

Just talked with Casey from speedfactory, and long story short, the holes on the oil cooler housing are smaller than the sensors, so they can fit with an adapter but will prolly get bad readings..

so back to start again..

Just use galley plug for temp and OEM pressure location for pressure. Disconnect OEM DUMMY LIGHT SENSOR AND TEPLACE WITH INNOVATE sensor using the adapter i linked. That's what I'll b doing
