oil pressure guages
which on is better, mechanical or eletrical?
i want to put it inside the car and i know that there is some rule with the mechanical ones when your at the track, or atleast i thought there was.
anyways heres a link to a guage from summit, is this good enough to use? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku
if not please let me know which would be the best to use.

cheaper if you get a sun pro gauge from autozone. unless looks matter to you. i believe it is only fuel pressure is the one with the rule, mechanical must be on the outside in that case. i suggest mechanical for oil pressure....its more accurate

thanks buddy. i didnt kno if the sunpro's were accurate or not.
i can either get a summit or sunpro, looks aint that big of a deal to me.
i guess to just get one hooked up quick ill take the stock sensor out and just plug in the plumbing for the mechanical guage unless a t- fitting isnt hard to hook up, does anyone know what is needed as far as sizes and pieces?
is there any special things i need to take note of when running the plumbing line to the guage inside the car. i plan on putting it in a guage pod where the clock is at so i guess i need to just be careful at drilling the hole and put a rubber grommet around it w/ some sealant.

Let me know what you find out

i didnt use a T fitting because i ran mechanical. i just unhooked the stock one, plugged in the adapter and compression fitting and ran the spaghetti line up behind my accessories, under the upper plenum along the firewall and i poked a hole in the steering shaft dust shield grommet thing in the upper right coner and straight in the center console. easy, straight not one problem. make sure you dont pinch that line. otherwise you have to get another one.
drilling a hole is fine if you use a grommet. i dont like adding holes though. i have enough speed holes throughout my engine bay. maybe when i tear into the engine bay for a clean up i'll do it better. but my way works for now.
