Oil pressure guage on an ECO?
Thursday, April 28, 2005 11:21 AM
I think this is the right forum, if not, sorry. Anyways, I just got a set of guages from Jason, and I'm wondering how to install the oil pressure sending unit, while still being able to keep the stock idiot light. Where is the stock guage? What do I need to install the aftermarket unit? Any help is appreciated.




I may not know much about cars, but I know two things....
1) Breaking things is expensive, and
2) Horsepower isn't cheap.

Sorry, yeah, I have those instructions. I just was wondering where the stock pressure sending unit was. I've seen in other posts, how the 2.4 guys are using a t-fitting to retain the stock "idiot light" on the cluster, and have the guage working in the pod. Where abouts on the block is the stock sending unit?

Look on the drivers side of your block. Theres 2 little plugs you can take out and screw this into one of them adapter

Its number 2278, much easier than tapping your block.

I can't seem to find the plugs that you're talking about. Could you give me a little better description? Are they on the front of the block? Underneath the intake manifold? Maybe this picture will help. Am I in the right area?

Ya the picture is right. BUT you need to get a 12X1.75mm to 1/8in NPT adapter to make it work.
