Oil Pressure Gauge

[damnthesenames]

I already did a serach, however I did not find the ansewr to my question. I just bought an 89 LX-i and am looking at putting an oil pressure, among many other gauges in... are there any write up's on how to do so?

Thanks,

Basicly the Oil pressure sensor or the oil line will hook up to the same port that the old sensor connects to... If it's electrical you migh be able to use the stock sensor.

The mechanical one will need teflon tape and the adapter fittings to mate the pressure line from the guage to the port.

Another question, what is the pressure supposed to be? I know its going to vary, but within what range? my I6 Supra is anywhere from 20-40, what should I be expecting here?

well I get up to 75 - 80 psi 3,000 rpm and it goes up a little from there. I'm not sure what it is at idle... I think normally it's 55 - 65 psi at 3,000 rpm.

My head gasket bleeds oil some... but I check the oil level constantly and there is not even a noticable drop.
