Oil Temp/Oil Pressure Gauges questions.
Has anyone installed an Oil Temp/Pressure or booth?
If so, what did you use to install the sensors?
Any help/Pics would be appreciated.
I am looking to install these soon, but want to compile a parts list of things I would need before hand.

pm vendors that sells gauges i know they have this sandwhich..ebay has it (glow shift makes one) but idk if it fits th X . i belive majority of the sandwhiches fit 1/8 npt sensors
the only thing about the sandwhich that most people are scared about is the fact that it lowers the oil filter about a inch more closer to the ground and if something hits hit OUCH! lol
but other then that thats the only option we have so far unlike the evo 8 there was places you could tap into.

You don't need the sandwich adapter. There are two locations near the oil for oil pressure and oil temperature.
Just back the hex nuts out and screw in your sensor after you completely drain your engine oil. Do this when it's time to change the oil.
That's what I did on my Defi's

I know that you don't need a adapter on IX cause I saw some how to install a oil pressure on Evo IX forum but is there anyone here install an oil pressure gauge without an adapter? Or is it posible?

For the VIII's and IX's there are 2 hex bolts on the Oil Filter Housing Assembly.
I had an VIII and this is where I used 2 adapters that I bought online, bolted right in.
On the X... I don't think the oil filter housing assembly is the same, I glanced at it briefly when I installed my Aftermarket oil cooler... and I can remember only seeing 1 hex bolt... although I could be mistaken, as this was well over 6 months ago.
As far as the sand which plate adaptor... that is the route I am going to go... I ordered it from STRI..
My car isn't my daily driver... and if I do happen to hit something, I will just relocate the filter to a different spot.
