mtags24 keep us posted with your install maybe some pics

 

so with the oil filter adapter there is no need to tap the oil pan when going turbo?

 

You still have to tap a return line to the oil pan. The sandwich plate is for outward pressure only.

 

will definitely do so! Should be around April 28th when i finally get back to the beloved US!

 

but that's for turbo only right? If I just stick a sensor on this adapter, should i be able to get readings without sending oil in and out of the pan? they are electric gauges by the way

 

To piggyback on the thread - what would be recommended for a NA setup that is used primarily as a daily driver with some light auto-x on the side (SCCA Solo)?

I have heard some people say that no gauges are needed at all and I have heard others say that it couldn't hurt to have oil pressure, oil temp, and a trans temp. Odds are I will avoid an A/F gauge unless it is a wideband.

 

tell him why he needs those gauges.

not just a/f, oil pressure.

example :

boost gauge - that way when you are changing boost levels you dont overboost and blow something up. so you can get the pressure your aiming for.

 

ok similar situation: im most likely going to go turbo daily driver, with hopefully autocross/motorkhana and i just purchased: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....1184&rd=1&rd=1
the boost/vaccum, oil temp, oil pressure.

most likely going to A-pillar 3 guage(hard to find RHD). i want to have the boost guage on the steering column with the oil guages (with mostlikey EGT given your recommendations above) on the a pillar.
with a wideband in that lil cubby hole thing under the HVAC controls. im thinking the ZEITRONIX wideband offered by rrm, is what is is recommended by most i think.

whould this be ok, or could annyone enlighten me more?
also any diy for installs, i found one for the boost/vacum(its for an evo but im sure its aplicable also to ralliart): https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=98114
but ill look into that sandwhich thing mentioned above

 

bump for help/opinions ... or do i need to start another thread lol ...

 

Did you get sorted out yet or do you still need answers?

 

^trying to learn myself, but help is always good, for me and anyone that searches

 

You definitely need a wideband.
It's a must have......reallly....oh and fuel pressure...yeah.

On a serious note though, unless you are racing your car, gauges are a waste for
NA.

Unless you just want them for the coolness factor.
