Fitting gauges.

[Donato]

Im needing a little help in fitting my HKS gauges..

I have the oil and water temp ones sussed, however where exactly is the best place to tap the oil pressure guage into?

Cheers in advance

anyone?

anytime I\'ve done it in the past with other cars, you remove the oil pressure switch, put a T fitting in its place so you can run both, theres also sometimes a tapped hole in the oil filter base

Thanks mate.

Did you get your wipers sorted?

na not yet cars under 2" of snow, it was bad enough taking my bumper off yesterday after another hare incident, couldnt feel my fingers after

Hey Donato, if you find out where to tap it into I would like to know.  A garage refused to fit my oil temp/pressure gauge as they would have to drill to fit it.

i think u can get a sandwich plate for between oil filter and engine..try re worx..

had a quick look at thinkauto & they list both sandwich plates & T pieces for a mazda.

All engines have a tapping on an oil gallery to take the oil pressure warning transmitter, we make a range of T pieces to screw into this tapping, T pieces have one male thread to screw into the oil gallery, a female thread to take the original transmitter and a female 1/8 NPTF tapping which allows a pressure switch or a 1/8 BSP female pressure gauge line to be attached via a MMS10-3-3 adapter.

thread should be 1/8 BSPT but that might be for non rotary best to check with one of the builders.

Hi Donato,

Hows things?

I got recently purchased a Greddy sandwich plate especially for the RX7 for the oil temp and oil pressure sender units from Edge Tuning in leeds.  The holes tapped are for 1/8npt threads.

Cheers,

Hi mate,

Good thanks. Hows yourself?

I will get round to fitting the gauges at some point...:rolleyes: they are fitted into the dash and sensors have been run into the engine bay, just havent connected them yet...i have a sandwhich plate for my old HKS gauges that i removed but havent done to much investigating yet...
