Default My oil pressure guage

Finally got me one of these from glowshift for $80 something dollars. Very easy to install

oil pressure at cold idle or highway is 50-60 psi
after 1 hour highway run hot idle is 15-20 psi

Does this one use an electronic sender or does it tap right in to the oil pressure with a tube?

Hey redwhitekat, just curious. Does the Ultra Gauge show oil pressure? Hope you had a great 4th!

can you show a picture of where it connects? you didn't have to do anything other than plug it in where the existing sensor is and then the OEM sensor plugs into the new sensor plug?

no you don’t touch the original sensor you take the plug out where the oil cooler line would connect to

This looks great. I'm currently trying to figure things out with the 2003 D2 I've got. I've pulled the M20 plug to try to use an oil pressure tester there, but the kit didn't have any fittings for it, so I'm trying to get the sensor above it out to be able to read it from there. I'm wondering if it would just be easier to use this type of gauge to test the pressure, if it's accurate enough... The pressure test kit I have isn't electronic.

Can you link the kit you bought?

Did it include the sensor with the gauge?

Did you need an adapter? The gauges on glowshiftdirect.com seem to show an 1/8-27 NPT fitting. Can you link the adapter?

Can you show us how it needs to be wired in the D2?
