   Oil Pressure/Amp Guage Install
Member

Join Date: Jul 2006
I just ordered the A Pillar Guage Pod from DEJON POWERHOUSE for my GXP. Since I already have the boost indicator built into the DIC I was thinking of installing a oil pressure guage and Amp guage in the pod. Has anyone installed either of these guages and how big of a job is it? How did you install the electric oil pressure sending unit for the oil pressure guage? Did you have to install a "T" fitting on the existing factory sending unit to install the gauge unit? I would appreciate any info on either guage and recommendations for brand name of guages.

I have installed an oil pressure gauge, a voltmeter, and a temperature gauge. You can't install a "T" fitting for the oil pressure gauge because the 2.4L doesn't have a sending unit. It just has a switch that indicates that there is , or is not, oil pressure. You will need to install a sending unit unless the GXP has one. I believe I saw a post that indicatied that the oil pressure sending unit or pressure switch on the GXP is very difficult to get to and that it is easier to install a sending unit in the same place I did. The following post details how I did my gauge installation.

Unique Custom Gauge Pod

I found the installation to be quite easy. Let me know if I can provide you with any more information.
