Hookup For Electric Oil Pressure Gauge?

Jun 11th, 2003, 09:47 AM

I just went and purchased an Electric Oil Pressure Gauge. I have a 98 200SX SE (if that helps). I don't know where to hook it up, or if it even can be done. PLease help, any feedback will be helpful.

the easiest method for hooking up an aftermarket oil pressure gauge is to tap into the stock oil pressure sender location (on the back of the block near the filter), you need to use a T fitting with the proper threads. the stock sensor uses a 1/8 BSPT and most aftermarket gauges are 1/8 NPT, there is a company that makes fittings specifically for the sentra sr and ga engines, I forget the web address... I'll post it when I get home (its George Roffe's company)

is there any way to hook it up electrically through wires or do i really need to run a hose?

if you get a elecrical oil pressure gauge you wont need to route any oil lines into the gauge itself, but you will still need to install the pressure sender on your engine. the "sender" will send the pressure signal via wires to the gauge.
