supraguye Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Just Intalled an oil pressure guage in the sup ..... crusing, I get 40-60 PSI .... however, when I stamp on it, the guage locks at the max reading - 100 PSI What numbers should I be really looking for?

bignum Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Where is your sender installed, it does make a difference, it will go over 100psi though especially on cold oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 In an oil filter sandwich you can easily make 116 psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 The lexus bolt gave me a more acurate reading Just been looking at doing this to fix a leak... Can this be installed 'engine in'? Is it a complete pig to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebsteif Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 No it's easy to do, i saw a how to somewhere. I'll search It's also called an Union bolt * 90401-19008 Union Bolt * 90430-20016 Gasket * 90301-68005 O-ring (Optional) http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=103387 Found it: http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/oil_sensor_mod/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Be nice to see a photo FAQ of the installation process. I bet there needs to be some strip down of the engine in order to get access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 All i had to move was the power stearing reservoir iirc, but you do need bendy arms and bendy socket things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 One person job, or is an assistant required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsportcars Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Just read that write up in the link above. Very handy way of doing it. I assume you could also take your standard union bolt out and get it drilled and tapped to suit your new pressure sensor?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
