Anyone know by chance what size the hole is for the oil pressure sensor? Is it fairly generic or am I going to have to order something specificly for this engine?

I belive it's standard 1/8" NPT sized. I've encountered a similar problem and I'm going to be getting these (http://www.dakotadigital.com/Detail.cfm?Ca...Number=ODY-03-1) to replace the crummy stock unit. Two of them will fit beautifully in the center console, right under the sound system's head unit.

get the MazdaTrix adaptor and you can use a oil temp and a oil pressure gauge off of it. I think there is only one gauge that can thread right into the factory hole, I think its a Greddy, but I could be wrong.





And for the 100000x time, Autometer sells different levels of gauges, you can buy a $18 cheapo one, or you can get a better gauge.

There is a reason why ever single NASCAR and NHRA car uses Autometer

gauges



Just because a gauge comes from Japan and costs $125 doesnt mean its the ONLY good gauge out there.

Once again people jump on the bandwagon by putting down one of the oldest and best gauge companies on the market just because they hear over the internet from a bunch of strangers typing posts in thier underwear that Autometer is not accurate. People look to blame engine failure on anything but the root cause of it- the car wasnt running right to begin with, so they point fingers and try to lay blame on everything else such as a bad tank of gas or a bad gauge. It has been said that the Autometer boost gauge is a bit off, but has anyone tested any other boost gauges?

where are the facts?

didnt know we had an autometer corporate rep among us... and im not in my underwear, im wearing a towel.

dude, that thing looks sweet. i dont know about functionality over other gauges, i wonder how the response time is

the greddy does go right in there, there might be others too though.



well the cheap autometer boost guages are all about 2psi off, some of them even register boost new in the box! imo tons of guages are a waste, the faster i drive the less i look at em

I imagine the response time is instant. They sell the gauge-specific sending units right there too. I know the digital readout is not as intuitive as a moving needle, but I'm not racing or anything so I just want something I can trust more than the stock guage. I figure an oil pressure gauge and a water temp gauge side-by-side will be sharp.
