Electronic oil pressure gauge install??

Post by WRXdan »

Ahh..crap. Anyone install an electronic oil pressure gauge on the EJ22T. The frickin sending unit is 4" tall and the only 2 points of hook up are under the intake manifold? The tap near the alt is too to tight, the other 2 are under the intake:( Has anyone done this yet? Do I need some kinda 90 degree fitting?

Boooooooooo.......

4 inches tall? Wow.

If a 90-degree fitting will make it fit, that'd do... I don't know of a good source for a 90-degree BSPT elbow, but there's gotta be one out there.

How is the sender supposed to attach? Could you somehow attach a hose to the block and connect the sender to the hose? Maybe get some blingin' stainless steel braided hose. :)

Hmmm I have the 1/8 BSPT coupler...I could get the standard elbow..
