yet another curiosity question

[pbghost]

was wondering if it's possible / has anyone added an oil pressure guage on thier busa so they wouldn't have to rely on the idiot light.

yes

plus the idiot light doesn't come on until it's waaay to late.

Basically, you can run the oil pressure gauge line right off of where the oil pressure switch is. Or T it off and have both.

the only problem may be with the pressure sensor. I've had the sensor fail twice from excessive vibration. Now it's remote

how did you hook it up (remote) , is it a standard guage / sending unit package, or mix & match. thanks for the input. I hate idiot lights, been leary relying on it for the last 8 years.

mine is a mix n match setup. I tee'd where the OE sensor is. added a short oil line and just bundled the pressure sensor with the rest of my wirring. This was it doesn't get all of the vibes from the engine.

by remote, I think he mounted the sensor away from the motor.. a piece of AN line or suitable oil pressure line from the motor, to the sensor (sensor tied to frame or floating?) Removes the sensor from engine vibrations..

that's the ticket
