Oil Pressure Gauge

[King2nd]

I just recently purchased a Autometer Oil Pressure Gauge with the understanding that it would work with my 2001 Tiburon. The Guys at my shop tried everything to match my sender to my block but the fitting would not work so at this point I have a Gauge in my new pod but no reading unless I unhook the factory sensor but that is a NO NO!! Does anyone no the step by step pieces needeed for a proper install PLEASE HELP!!!:cry::cry::cry:

There are two places you can go for the regulated oil pressure level. There is a little hex bolt on the end of the block by the ignition coils. It plugs an oil galley. It's a bear to get off, but once it's out, it's 1/8" BSP (british standard pipe) thread. I have an adapter from autometer and a sender unit/gauge from VDO.

The other is the location for the stock pressure switch. It's in a drain galley, so the pressure will be lower than the actual pressure your HLA's and block will see. I believe the threading there is 1/8BSP as well.

Good luck,

Faced with similar problems, a couple of us Scoupe Turbo guys fitted the sensor directly into the oil-drain plug hole in the oil pan......it works fine, just look after it when servicing.
