I have recently purchased a boost and oil pressure guages and was wondering if anyone could help and tell me how to fit these...

I am just wondering if anyone could tell me exactly where i need to join the tube for the boost guage on to the engine

and also with an oil pressure guage...

Photo's would be greatly appreciated...

Mate you've posted this same question in every forum including Car Audio!! Is that really necessary? Do you think that everyone does that and it is normal and acceptable? sheesh!!

If you'd bothered to search or even look in the Performance forum you would have easily found this thread with a full explanation and photos.

Some people need to grow a brain and think for themselves...

You're millimeters away from getting banned from this forum at the IP level. I kindly answered your question and pointed out that you dont need to spam this board for a response.

Grim...I apoligise it is just that i am having alot of trouble finding how to install a damn oil pressure guage...

Plus thanks for that page you gave me it was extremely useful!!

Do you happen to know if i can use a mechanical oil pressure even though my skyline has an electrical already??

blx - i dont see why you can't use your mechanical one as well, on my old pulsar i was using the dash one as well as my autometer one too.

i dont know where you would get a signal from tho...

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
