got my oil pressure and temp gauge to fit, got a T piece to fit both sensors, but where on the block do they go?

Ive seen some people have fitted it just above the oil filter, but on my engine ive got a braided pipe from the turbo plumed in there, i think. Plus accessing it it crap, just no room?


is there anywhere else people fit them thats easy to do?

i fitted my 2wd yb where the oil pressure switch goes inbetween where the starter and mowdime/oil filter area. theres adapters/fittings on ebay it will take the oil pressure switch as well i think it comes of the main oil gallery there. feed the pipe through the bulkhead on the same side theres a handy grommit near the top over the ecu happy days

I use the escort cos 2 way adapter, it allows the senders to be angled into a good position away fromthe inlet
its the one on the left of this pic

For oil temperature, you can get adaptors to put them in the sump plug hole.

I used a remote braided jobbie from Burtons from oe oil port in block, then used a 3 port block, mine is on an escort and I have my oil feed/AIM oil sensor and oe VDO unit on there, mounted the port block by making a bracked and using a p clip next to the engine mount

Any photos of where on the block? As i just cant get at the feed pipe below the plenum above the filter extention arm

You can just see my unit beside filter, i comes off a braided line from block, then into another port block where i have turbo feed, AIM dash oil sensor and oe vdo oil pressure unit for banana pod gauge in car

Ive just had a good old look and route around but cant get to it.

Take it i need to really remove the inlet manifold?

Mine was done with inlet off, but also as I have a wrc breather there it makes it even less accessible, I had to run what I have as I still needed to use the original VDO unit, Saph's don't have that

No need to remove inlet.

I just cant get at it from above, well i cant see what or where im trying to get to from above?

Is that where the factory oil light sensor is? As i cant even see a wire going to anything around that area?

Yes mate it is where the factory oil pressure switch is. You need to T off that for the gauge. And you can get an adaptor for oil temp gauge which replaces the sump plug.

Ive got the T piece, its just i cant see where the factory switch is?
