i have an oil presure gauge ,not yet fitted but i know u need an extra part. its a coupling between the oil filter and where it screws up to the plate and it allows the oil pressure sender to be srewed in. not shure where to get this part yet

when positioning those guages.. just make sure you dont position them too low because this will cause you to take your eyes off the road for longer than is desirable

Maybe look at those Meercat/mearcat guage pods? and mount them up near the dash somewhere?

lol 20% of male babyboomers according to smh today.

anyway.....the voltmeter just needs ignition, earth and maybe headlights on so its easy. the easiest way to do the oil pressure gauge is to install a remote relocator for the fuel filter at the same time it will have fittings for the sender.

or you can pick up adapters so you can put it next to the standard pressure sender, vdo make one for instance (pirtek) but you will need to know the thread for the new sender and the standard one.

Yeah, like Duncan has mentioned, it's not a bad idea to fit an oil filter relocation kit when you do the oil pressure gauge. I bought one of the rust GReddy ones. The lines are Earls ones with braided covers, so they're a bit hard to manipulate when you're fitting it on, but it's worth it in the end so that your oil changes are that little bit easier.

Just make sure you check that there are no leaks when you are done...

      I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.

      BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...

      Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂

      And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
