oil pressure gauge

[Gopherboy6956]

I have ordered some things now - and from a friend of mine who has this currently installed

Oil Temp sensor in top galley with a galley plug - seems to fit just fine


Pressure sensor with an extended line in stock location (Sounds like no negative effects)


Again - I'm not saying that I know for a fact that this works, but I will find out real quick.

I believe this is a GREAT location for the Oil Temp gauge sensor.

Thoughts anyone? @PrimeMotoring @Rev Works @Dave-ROR @P&L Motorsports @Pure Automotive

how did you install your oil temp gauge? apparently i cant see it. i have the innovate oil temp and pressure gauge.

Yea, Photobucket took a shit on everyone and disabled 3rd party hosting on all accounts unless you pay - get this - $40 a month. Fuuuuuuuuuuck No.

Photobucket is sucking a lot!

I have my oil temp gauge in an oil filter sandwich plate. It's going to be very near the pan temp as it's pumped straight from there and doesn't go through a cooler. I've used this method on 3-4 different vehicles.

I tried a few different things but ended up using a sandwich plate re-tapped for the senders for my gauge, after some months I think this is the best solution. Some pics here: www.billswebspace.com/FRSRS2.html

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I wanted to add my info here as well. As Bill did, I used a TRD sandwich plate for the Defi pressure gauge and used a remote sender. Extremely easy, clean install.
I would recommend for anyone already using the gallery port as a turbo oil feed.
Just make sure to use teflon tape on the fittings being threaded into the ports on the adapter plate
Adding photos for future generations to see.

Remote sender comes from sandwich plate and goes under the intake manifold. I attached the pressure sensor to a tab on the back of the intake manifold, and have the wiring routed back to the driver's side, behind the brake booster, through the grommet in the firewall to the driver's side footwell.

Shameless plug here, but we carry a bunch of sender adapters for pressure and temp. The nice thing about using an adapter is that is adds the minimal amount of additional potential leak points vs remote or sandwich adapters.



Just a pic for reference, we make these in other sizes too...

does anyone make a Bluetooth obd2 compatible gauge for either oil temp or pressure?

You can view/log oil temp through any obd2 device that can read PIDs, but no pressure. I imagine bluetooth isn't really reliable enough yet to be piped through the firewall and be stable enough for popular companies to jump on board with it

yes Harry’s lap timer you can. It’s just a drag that you can’t see it unless you go out of the timer and into the Real-time Analysis mode.

Apologies for the bump...

I didn't see it on your website, but any chance you make/have:

1/8 PT Male to 1/8 NPT Female (for water temp sensor for an aftermarket filler neck);

I am not sure what the thread for the stock oil pressure port is (where the dummy switch is), but whatever that is Male to M10x1 Female.

If you have the above adapters (in stainless) please let me know, will buy tomorrow!

We used to make 1/8 PT to 1/8 NPT Adapters (and vice versa), but no one bought them. The one small batch we made took over 5 years to sell off

The OEM port is 1/8PT

M10 x 1.0 is a very odd sensor thread. What brand?

Stack gauges.
Oil temp is 1/8 NPT, I bought the M18x1.5 adapter from you.
Water neck (Greddy) is 1/8 PT, the Stack sensor is 1/8 NPT.
Oil Pressure sensor is M10x1.

From STACK website:

ST3501 - Oil Pressure 0-7 bar (M10x1)

ST3509 - Oil Temperature 40-140°C (1/8NPT)

ST3507 - Water Temperature 40-120°C (1/8NPT)

I think my only option is to contact a machine shop if I want them in stainless.
