oil pressure gauge

[gmgs14]

Call me stupid but I can't seem to find the place to hook up the solenoid for my new oil pressure gauge.  If anyone can help that'd be great.

i've never done one nor have i seen one but i would figure it would go somewhere near your oil pressure switch. its above/neaar your oil filter a 27mm scket fits into it.
again ive never seen how to install an oil pressure gauge but it should work off of the factory switch

I'm not sure how it works myself, but is it possible to "T" off the Oil pressure line?

easiest way to do it is to run -4AN stainless line into the block, then put a T at the end of it. &nbsp;Run the Autometer sender into one side, and the stock sender on the other. &nbsp;Zip tie the mofo to the firewall, paint it flat black, and hook it up as normal. &nbsp;That way the stock idiot light works, and your new gauge works too. &nbsp;Also it will keep the sender from vibrating off the block and snapping the sender in the block and spillling oil all over the place, which equals, a locked up motor. &nbsp;Old Honda trick <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;if you need any other help, I have diagrams.

But... the oil feed line to your turbo is T'd off the oil sending unit.

Alright, I need some more help. &nbsp;Today I installed my gauges in my dash and my air fuel works fine. &nbsp;The problem is with the oil pressure. &nbsp;I took off the stock sender that goes to the dash light but the autometer sender wouldn't fit cos there is a bracket in it's way. &nbsp;I don't really want to cut this so maybe you could help me out a little more Joe_M. &nbsp;I really want this thing to work.

I know you can buy an aftermarket oil filter sandwich that has a feed, and return line. &nbsp;Just run a ~2-3" hose between the two, and T off that hose for your oil feed line. &nbsp;OR.. &nbsp;you could get a remote filter mount and t off that, OR I think you could do the same thing with an aftermarket Oil cooler.. &nbsp;which you might want anyway, If your gonna run a turbo.
