Oil Pressure Gauge on D2
1 Attachment(s)
After ripping apart my 2000 D2 and seeing many mods I want to do and am doing, I would also like to add the oil pressure sensor. In the thread on adding a sensor to a 2003 D2, they mentioned the earlier years used an oil cooler and so the unused plug port on the oil pump/timing cover couldn't be used. Nothing was connected to my port. I do have an oil cooler, though. Why wouldn't I be able to use the port that has nothing connected?
to clarify the location I want to use for a pressure sensor, see the picture below: Attachment 37745 Anyone see any issues with using that port? |
Use a sandwich adapter on the oil filter. It is much easier in my opinion.

I have a lot of information in my 100k mile service thread on installing my oil pressure gauge. In the top right of each post there is the post number. Look for post #86 and 87 in my thread. https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...o-month-47324/

I am cheap, though. And I can drill through the plug, tap it for the correct thread, and not have to buy the oil filter sandwich. I just want to know if there would be any issue doing it that way. |
yes you can do that if you do a search you should find a post or two about it.
I two would vote for the sandwich adapter. Sandwich adapters cost about $20 on ebay, you will have that much $ in the proper tap and fittings, not to mention time. |

The reason I ask is bc I was under the impression that the glow shift for $45 was complete except for the actual gauge. Thanks
http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/image...PSI_Sensor.jpg The setup from glowshift comes with everything except 1) a pod 2)sandwich adapter 3) extended wire harness (I used this but you can make your own) 1) Gauge ($59)- GlowShift | Tinted 7 Color Oil Pressure Gauge with Electronic Pressure Sensor 2) Sandwich Adapter 3/4 unf-16 ($29)- Oil Filter Sender Adapter - 3/4 unf-16 3) Extended harness ($5)- 7 Color Gauge Series Extended Sensor Wiring Harness This is all directly from Glowshift. You might be able to find the parts cheaper somewhere else. |
if you want to go mechanical you can do it for like $30.
