Hi all
I would like to install an oil pressure gauge on my EJ25 conversion.

From what I have read you can add a new sender from the extra oil port at the rear of lock (nearest the bell housing)

However I am unsure what sender/adaptor I need. Any suggestion on where/what to get.

Thanks

pick your guage and sender as a set is best IMO, the sender will have a thread listed, then see if the sender fits in the area you have.

Usually people remove a switch and need to keep the switch so a T Piece is is needed, typically a T piece will have one male thread to match the hole in the engine that the switch came out of (M10x1 in a wbx), one female thread the same to refit the origional switch, the other thread size is for your new sender

so a m10x1 to 1/8 npt T piece would allow a 1/8npt oil pressure guage sender to be fitted to a wbx, if there is space.

On a wbx these isn-t space so a remote t piece is needed, this has an extra length of pipe.

If you have a spare port and no origional switch is needed then you just need an adapter, not a t piece.

You will need to find out what thread the engine has, your sender will be listed in specifications.

Thanks for that
Have you any suggestions on where to get the sender/adapter?

Have a look on eBay, plenty on there. TIM do some decent gauges.

So I am thinking I need an adapter from NPT to BSP thread.

need to find out exactly what thread in is the engine
what normally fits there will help?

Demon Tweeks is a good place to look at what's available.

Heres a Vdo gauge from Tweeks, cheaper than Tim

Can be bought with either M10 x 1 or 1/8 NPTF thread
As said you need to find out what thread you have on the engine
