oil pressure and oil temp gauges
Monday, June 01, 2009 2:00 PM
I bought prosport gauges for my car. I went to order the oil filter adapter plate so I can hook them up easily and they dont make it for my car. I need a m18x1.5 thread on the adapter plate. Does anyone know where I can get one to make my installation a little easier?? I didnt quite know what category to put this under. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You may have to get a few fittings to make it work, but there's an easier way to do it. Just above the oil filter on the back of the 2200 (should be the same as your 2.2) block, there's a plug you can remove to access oil. It's the same port we use for oil feed on turbo builds. The "bolt" you want to remove (if memory serves) is square in the center and you can use a 1/4" ratchet to remove it.

You dont want to use that oil filter adapter plate. Like Agent said above, take one of the sensors our behind the block, get some brass fittings and hook the gauge up that way to give you an accurate reading.

Yes i already have an oil feed line coming out of that for my turbo. So you guys think i should just get some t fittings and screw both sensors into them ???

Replace the oil pressure sending unit (stock one) with the oil pressure gauge unit. There should be another spot on the back to tap for oil temp.
