Oil Pressure, What does your gauge read.

[Mikecam]

Just wondering what your oil pressure gauge is reading with the sled warmed up at idle. Thanks

At start up it reads 62psi, then drops down to 35-40psi after warm up! This is at idle.

Just out of curiousisty, where did you guys tap in with the sensor?

I tee'd my pressure gauge with the stock sender. If you don't the machine won't run.

Gotcha. Thanks. I was thinking of this to go with my water gauge, but I have not yet decided if I really need it, my sled is still stock. ( for now )

Me too with help from blackGt. Thanks blackGt. Mine shows about 30 at warm idle and 50 at start up so were close.

Nice job!! Just ordered my wideband 02 from Auto Meter to match my other two.

 

[Mikecam]

Where is that one going? I thought I could put one more on a bracket in the middle but didn't know what to get. Whats a wideband o2 ?

Mikecam, can you tell me where you got your guages.

 

[Mikecam]

Picked them up in canada at a place called princess auto. I found them on sale the day before I was going to order from summit racing

Auto meter is what you want. Go straight to there site and check where the nearest dealer is. Look up #5727 for oil pressure and 5737 for water Temp.

Just another thought. Check out livorsi.com. I bought some new gauges for my boat from Livorsi. You can get all kinds of different combinations of colors for the faces and rims. Just my 2 cents.

I'm going to put it right in the middle, using the 2 5/8 gauge pod. I'll have to use some kind of riser block to sit the gauge high enough. The wide band 02 is an oxygen sensor that will tell me if the sled is running to rich or lean. part#4378 from Auto Meter.

 

[Mikecam]

Where do you hook it up. OEM wiring or do you have to buy a o2 sensor. Thanks

 

[blackGt]

You have to weld a bung in the exhaust, then install the o2 sensor. In my opinion thats the best way to fine tune your machine (if you have done mods.)

Would this be the same for a 08 Vector ? I plan on doing this to my Vector as well looks realllly gooooood
