Oil Temp / Press Gauges Installed

[pchio]

I have installed the oil temperature and pressure gauges. I am using the Greddy Oil filter sandwich ($65) to connect both sensors. I would say it is a high quaility product and installation is very easy. I have it on my car for 2 days already and no leaking so far.

I read that from Greddy website about I should use the oil filter for the 4AGE. But I think that is too small and may not have enough oil flows. So I test fit our KA filter on it and the O-ring fits perfectly, so I decided to use my original oil filter.

Btw, my greddy oil temp gauge shows 85c -90c constantly after my car is fully warm up and my oil pressure shows 2-4 kg/cm at idle when the car is cold. About 1 kg/cm when it is warm and 4 kg/cm at 3000 rpm. I believe it is normal, right?


Here are the pics. Enjoys!

Also, does anyone know is it safe to install another sandwich adapter (for oil cooler) on top of my current adapter? Or do you know anyone actucally did this without any problem? Please let me know, thanks in advance.

w00t! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one whoring those splice connectors. :D

Both sensors for the oil temp and pressure should be replacing your stock sensor connections. The fittings on the adapter you purchased can be used for what you are using them for. However, if you want to add a filter relocater or an oil cooler, you will need both of those connections that you are using right now. I am using the Defi gauges and for the most part, for the oil anyhow, my connections are using the original or stock slots for those gauges.
