Mate,,, yes you do need a change of senders but they come with the gauges and with adaptors you can keep your original dash gaugeand it's sender. You do not need a sandwich plate thats just a waste of money. I haven't seen any sandwich plates with accessory holes for senders yet.

Neil.

i used a sandwich plate to attach my oil pressure sender for an aftermarket gauge.. $30 from jusjap.com

it had 3 holes to attach threads onto

and the gauge i bought came with the new sender that i screwed onto the sandwich plate with some thread tape.. took me 5mins on top of an oil change time to install. piece of piss.

I haven't seen any sandwich plates with accessory holes for senders yet.

lol you aren't looking hard enough big fella! On my greddy kit it has 2 at the filter head take off plate, and 3 more on the remote filter mount plate. so I can install pre cooler, or post cooler or both, plus a spare for pressue. BUT you are right though, you don't need one just to run gauges (mine is there to run oil cooler, the gauge fittings were incidental).

Anyone know the factory thread size for the RB20DET oil pressure sender? Because the aftermarket autoguage oil pressure sender I bought is 1/8"-27NPT. I tried installing this into the factory location on the engine block but it just doesn't want to screw in. I didn't want to try any harder incase I accidently thread the hole. I've searched the manual and it doesn't state the thread size. Anyone know from previous installs?

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
