Oil pressure sensor for gauge? easiest way?

[Tobz91]

As above whats the easiest way for me to hook up my oil pressure sensor for my gauge?

I have had a look but to no avail on here.

Thanks!

buy a sandwich plate adaptor mate, goes between your engine and oil filter, has ports for the sensor, just need to no the right size, mostly 1/8npt, hope this helps

Buy a T-piece and put it in beside the standard presure switch.

Port on the 4e block is 1/8 BSPT but 99% of all aftermarket gauges are 1/8 NPT

I like this idea may be able to dig out one from work! Cheers! If not sandwich plate it is! any ideas if toyota are all the same as I have read people have expirienced sizing issues (too big) with universal 'toyota' ones.

Thanks

Scooby has an oil psi gauge fitted in his glanza but was lookin and there was no plate fitted in with the oil filter so i reckon his is done with std pressure switch. Will have a look when hes over cause i need to fit mine aswell

I've read on some random forums of people a. doing this or b. replacing the standard one with the gauge one?

Please keep my informed

by far the simplest & best idea, as it takes the oil pressure reading from the same place the oem sensor does... cheap & simple to do mate.. suggest u do as Rory suggested above!

Does this just do the same job as the sandwich plate adaptor then? How does it replace it?

by the looks of things yeah. Just add a tee peice like you would a boost hose for your gauge and add the gauge's oil presssure sesnsor in.

If you use a T piece, don't fit a cheap one, some have a tendency to crack and snap off. As you can imagine it won't do the engine any favours and could result in an expensive repair.

Another option would be to run a braided line from the pressure switch port on the engine block to a distribution block mounted to the chassis, you can then connect the pressure switch and sender to the distribution block.
