quick question, where is the best place to plumb in an oil pressure sender? and what exactly will i need to put one in my car?
thanks

You need a t-piece and plub it into where the oil pressure switch is :)

With oil pressure guage will need a pressure sensor which should come with. You do the t-piece up tight but to tight and use Teflon tape :)

where is the oil pressure sender on a 3rd gen, and what materials are needed?
thanks

It's in the oil filter housing.

Third gen have no clue

Parts needed:

T-piece
oil pressure gauge
pressure prob
Teflon tape
wire

I'm doing my at the moment but I haven't started work with connecting and runing wires. I will do a write up next month :) When it gets wire in on my hoildays.

great, thanks. do i need a custom made "t" peice , or are they generic of the shelf. also, is it like a 1/4 inch thread or what?

I think it a 1/4 thread and should be able to buy one off the shelf :)

sweet, so how does it all plumb up, if its not too much trouble to ask, and where do i get this "T" peice from?
thanks

Well I'm not sure have still got to buy mine um supper cheap or autobarn :) So any good autoparts store should have them :)

To plumb up:

Remove oil pressure switch
Install t-piece with Teflon tape wrap around the t-piece thread
Install oil pressure switch with Teflon tape around the thread
Install oil probe with Teflon tape around thread
Start car for five seconds then switch off engine, check for any oil leaks
Run a signal cable from oil probe to oil pressure gauge
Run power to oil gauge using an 12volt supply that turns off and on with the ignation switch :)

Hope this helps

No go to a pipe or hose industrial place. I got my T piece from H.I.S hose in the western burbs here. Was like $10. What i did was buy a new standard oil pressure sender unit, then take that in and get that thread for the oil pressure sender. That way you have a nice new standard oil switch aswell :D

This means I getting a free one from work :ninja: lol I already have a brand new oil pressure switch so that done but signal wire to it is knacked :(
