You should read the whole thread.... or at least search this thread, this issue has been covered. Give me a minute and I will link you.

Can you please tell me if you used the CLOCK harness or RADIO+A/C harness?

While this write-up is great and it did help me to install my gauges, I did one thing differently and used the radio harness for the wiring. Details can be found here:

Hope this helps!

there is another write up about it on Nasioc, and thats the one i used for the power hook ups.. I used simply for the fact i wanted everything to turn on at the same time, maybe im just anal, and plus i was moving some wires behind the stereo anyways so it was already out..

A word of advice, having just completed this install today...You NEED a 1/8th NPT tap. Thought a 3/8 24TPI was the same but it's actually 27TPI. I got mine at a True Value Hardware store for $4.79 (it's found in the plumbing section).

hey i need small help, so i have this type of oil pressure sender it is about 3" long and i tried to install it under the alternator but it's too big, the alternator can't go lower because of that, so my question is:
is there somewhere smaller sender what i can use, i mean different brand sender would work with different brand gauge????? any idea? I do not want to take the intercooler off and try that gallery, sandwich i heart is not very good so i'm thinking about that spot under the alternator

twozzracer · 04-13-2008, 11:24 PM

I had the same problem. Is that Prosport Oil Pressure? It won't even fit under the IC either. I ended up using an oil sandwich after all that work I put taking off my IC and gallery plug.

no this one is not a passport, it's some brand like GlowShift, i order it because i like the gauge look, anyways i'm looking for some small sender, because i was told the sandwich is not very good, doesn't give you a raell pressure, but i might be wrong

I used the fitting recommended at http://www.clubwrx.net by pweizman.

It's McMaster-Carr Part # 44555k173, made of brass, costs $1.67, and is good to 100 psi. I just finished installing the boost sensor and the fitting works great for coming off the stock bpv hose to the hose that comes with the gauge.

From the info on McMaster, it looks to take 1/4" ID tubing (BPV) to .17" ID tubing (Defi).

Thanks for the awesome writeup. I used it to install oil pressure and boost and everything works great!

Alex STiness · 08-08-2008, 09:01 PM

Thanks bro thats a wicked right up!

hi guys need a quick response if possible installing gauges as we speak.

Was going to use the radio harness to avoid the beeping, but an aftermarket head unit has complicated that...

If i want go with the clock harness...does it sweep at the same time as the speedo etc? or is delayed?

Thanks!
