    Aftermarket oil pressure gauge.

    Hi

    Can anyone recommend a decent 52mm oil pressure gauge and sender package please? Looking on e bay and it's a minefield.

    I have the tapping points ready on my current ally oil filter/oil cooler block.

    I Don't want to break the bank.

    Thanks all.

    Adam

    I went for mechanical gauges
    Smiths water temp , and oil pressure
    Got them from jjc race and rally (www. Or eBay)
    Come with all fittings but u need to make up a
    T piece for your water hose
    Went mechanical gauges as they are always active
    Will post a pic later

    Re: Aftermarket oil pressure gauge.

    Ive gone for a mocal dual 52mm mechanical oil temp / pressure gauge. Just need to workout where to fix the senders. Im figuring i`ll tap the oil pressure into either my aftermarket oil cooler sandwich plate or in the turbo oil feed pipe (so i`ll either be seeing engine oil pressure or turbo oil pressure). But im not sure where to put the oil temp sender. It seems quite a big probe on it..... anyone got any ideas.

    I tapped into turbo top feed hose
    So as u say turbo pressure

    Could u not T - off the block to a braided pipe then
    From the end of that to the sender?

    I've put mine into the sump next to the turbo oil return pipe, I think it used to be an oil level sender.

    There's an oil gallery on the block near the alternator bracket.
    I took the blanking plug to Pirtek with my braided line and got fitting.

    Was a tenner for the fitting!!!! but easy peasy.
