WTK Installing Prosport Electronic Oil Pressure Gauge

Nik · Postby **Nik** » April 18th, 2011, 9:14 pm

Good day Subaru tuners

I am trying to install the mentioned gauge in my brother's 02 WRX. From the install instructions it says I need a sensor attachment (Oil Filter Adapter Plate/Sandwich Adapter) which should look like this...

& with filter attached...

or i can use the "Subaru Oil Galley Plug"

& attach the sender unit to it. (this replaces any one of the three stock oil galley locations. Location under intercooler is easiest of the three)

this is the sender unit which came with the gauge with a 1/8"NPT thread pitch

so here are my questions... which is the better spot (for most accurate readings) to install the sender unit & where can i buy these extra attachments (Oil Filter Adapter Plate/Sandwich Adapter, Subaru Oil Galley Plug), locally.

thanks.

the oil galley plug is the best option, since using the sandwich adapter will lower the oil filter and it may be more prone to road damage....

^^^ x2 ... and since is a prosport unit you are using , i think you should get a 12" steel braided line to bring the sending unit from under the intercooler.

i have the sandwich plate on my sti and it works great got it from a guy for 250 i think. it doesnt really lower the filter by much it actually works out better form me as the twin scro exaust mani is a beyotch when changing the filter.

I have an Oil Galley plug for Sale. I did my lines at ESWIL on Lady Hailes Avenue in San Fernando.

thanks for the info guys... sry 4 d late update but we got the sandwich adapter for $300 @ Real Time Imports... still to install later this week.

but on another note what vacuum line did you guys tap for the boost gauge? we have it on the same line as the bov but we get a 11-13 in.hag on idle

shouldn't it be reading around 18-20???
