Have you thought of using an oil filter adapter plate? You thread the gauge sensors in this plate and then run the wires to the gauges and to power. Here's what my Mazda's looks like:

I used Glowshift gauges and a pillar pod for a Civic (since none is available for my Mazda).

You can install both oil temp and oil pressure into the adapter plate. Glowshift sells all that stuff. Also, check my pillar pod install procedure:

Honda Corner

It indicates what the tach wire looks like and where it is located in a 97 CX.

Glowshift, Mishimoto, and many other companies offer these adaptor plates. I had a Mishimoto one on my D16, and I plan on using it for my H22 once that is ready to go.

The sensors thread directly into that.
