Does anyone know how to install the omori gauges. (oil temp) I need some help on how to do this, like pictures. I have wired it all but i dont know what to do know. Any help would be great.

 

Any help?

 

I'm in the same boat as you right now. I've got mine all wired up, but I don't have the right fitting to actually mount the sensor .... currently waiting from word from Vishnu on this.

Do you know what the thread is on the Omori sensors?

My guess is BSPT as JDM parts normally employ this thread. If not it is NPT and most likely the part was intended for export.

The oil adapter on the Evo is BSPT. Fitting anything else to the Evo will just wreck the Aluminum threads on the car.

McMaster-Carr has the fittings you need and more than likely you can obtain the part overnight (same day if they have an outlet in town and you pick it up). This assumes that you will want to fit the sensor on the oil block adapter (right above the filter). An alternative is an adapter that permits fitting the sensor in place of the drain plug. The latter location makes changing the oil a pain, as well as reading a little lower with respect to temperature.

I added a great deal of information on this subject to the following thread,

If you can wait until next weekend I have new fittings uninstalled. At a minimum you can try them with your sensor. Just let me know if I should bring them.

Note that I have yet to pull the Mitsubishi gauges out of the car in favor of something else such as Omori or Defi. The PSI3 unit that I ordered was not compatible with our dash board and I didn't want to wait. Then other issues came up and I haven't had time to deal with the gauge issue....

 

yea the adaptor right above the oil filter is tightly tightly stuck on there and i couldnt get it off. I dont think that the sensor that came with the omori gauges will fit in there. If anyone from vishnu could help us on how to get it to fit that would be great.

 

You can get the fittings at like a Home Depot, the one I got this morning is a 3/8" x 1/8" Male Pipe To FIP Bushing.

 

ok i talked to vishnu on the phone and you need to buy a seperate adaptor
3/8 by 1/8 inch male pipe to sip housing made by watts. they said you can buy it at home depot.

 

Yeah I can definitely wait. That is the location that I want to hook up my Oil Pressure gauge, so if you've found a fitting that fits, then at least I'll know what the thread size is

no no lol i said FIP..sorry if I was not clear on that 3/8 x 1/8 male pipe to FIP bushing

 

I beg to differ. The Evo is BSPT and Home Depot (at least in the US) doesn't sell this thread.
