madjoker14 -> Re-installing oil guage (5/3/2008 4:50:57 PM)

Sup all,i had made a post on this topic befor but i did not provide the correct information so i am trying it again (hope this is better)
but i want to install a oil pressure guage to my 99 ex civic, i went to a couple of shops and they told me $100+ to install, either they dont like me or really want to rip me off so came here to see if i could get some help

I have a silver bullet series oil guage, has some vacuum hose but dont know where to install in my engine(wild guess;the oil pressure sensor), if someone could tell me how to install or a page(s)that show how i could install this.

no body got any info on this gauge?doesnt have to be on this exact gauge but any other oil pressure gauge,as im assuming if mechanical it has to be vacuum and maybe i could apply it this style of gauge for my civic

Might want to buy the copper tubing kit, because I wouldn't trust the plastic tubing[&:]( I'm running the plastic tubing but my gauge it's electrical, so no oil going inside my car) carrying oil inside the cabin where it will start leaking oil at the ends or break and spatter you with hot oil while driving[&:] 


As far how you can installed it, the easiest way would be to buy an oil sandwich adaptor which sits between your oil filter and motor and has a fitting to connect an oil gauge. Or you can tapped into the oil sensor with a "t" fitting. If i remember correctly, the oil sensor is to the top right of where the oil filter is.
