Long story short I'm looking into getting an oil pressure guage for obvious reasons. My issue is, where people usually put the sender for the guage (the spot right above the oil filter) is used already for my oil feed. So if I put the sender there then no oil feed. Catch where I'm going? I've never heard of a "T" for it either so I'm kind of stuck.

I've searched around for a bit and using the one on the block is a no-no. So now what? The only other option I've seen is the Greddy block adapter which I hear gives two openings but I'm not understanding how that works. (I'm guessing it goes on the block but where and how?)

Suggestions? Tips? Answers?

Anything will help

Thanks!

 

well I bought a sandwich adapter from prosport. It sits between the oil pan and you filter and has for ports to tap into. I'm using one for oil pressure, one for oil temp and the third will be for the turbo oil feed line

 

Nice! I would assume that the sandwich adapter that they sell and the pressure sensor that they sell are a perfect fit right?

I was getting Prosport gages in the first place and I'm just trying to get everything lined up.

BTW...mind telling me how much that sandwich adapter was?

 

That adapter leaks, and I have not figured out why since it is tight in place!!??

 

The best place to mount it is directly on the block. I'm not sure where this can be done on a lancer though.

 

i have an adapter and it hasnt leak. if you want to mount it on the block its the big hex bolt on top of the oil filter.

 

Wait...Is anyone elses leaking? I'm going to put in on this weekend and don't want to end up with any surprizes...

 

it does a little. Did you use Teflon tape?

 

Yep, my adapter plate leaks also... Kinda dissapointing.

 

SUNAVA BALLZ! Is it leaking around the rubber seal or where the little bolts go in? I read you're supposed to teflon tape every bolt and sender but if its leaking around the rubber seal that's no good.

 

ya it does leak around the bolts..i found that out when i started the car...haha.

i teflon taped that.

 

there is a plug beside the oil cooler lines i removed it and put in a t fitting and installed the senders to my defi blue racer oil press and oil temp with no leaks.

 

Yea mine is just around the bolts.

 

i bought a tee from home depot and put it at the spot above the oil filter where the oil feed line for the turbo is at. no leaks
