4AGZE Oil Pressure Gauge

Postby beeker » Sun Nov 13, 2005 8:20 pm

4agze (from AE101)

I want to hook up a Oil Pressure gauge, but dont want to loose the factory light / and am told ECU engine shutdown on low pressure (true ?)

Here is a pic of below the car looking up. Is the sender with 5N on it the pressure sender ? (assume yes)

What about the unused/plugged hole to the left of it ?

If it has a factory Oil Pressure sender, can I simply get an Oil Pressure gauge that can also use this same sender ?

I'm a novice on this topic, so all help appreciated.

that plugged hole is the block water drain.
yes the sender with 5n on it is the switch for the dash light,
the ecu wont shut the car down for low oil pressure.

if you buy a brass T you can run both off the same pressure port,

or else just run the guage, as with a guage you wont need the dash light.

A lot of people reckon a t peice will break off fairly quickly with the vibrations from the engine, resulting in a large oil leak.

don't do brass, do it in S/Steel, try engineering supplys like Blackwoods/Paykel, or hydrolic hose places...

Brass is fine if you remote mount it,
but then you have to also earth the brass.

I'd still remote mount it depening on the size of your gauge sender if it is electrical not mechanical

I ditched the factory sender on my AE92 GZE and went with a remote mounted electrical sender. No problems at all.

BTW: Do the AE101's only run an oil light and not a pressure gauge like the 92's did?

Yes. AE92 have gauge only from factory ( most)
So you will have no light?

So if I remote mount it, who can make me up the high pressure flexible piping ? Recommendations ?

Sorry, new at this.
