oil pressure gage

[rollin thunder]

Has anyone put any other oil pressure gage besides the cycle one off type that i have seen ?.

I have a multifunction gauge in place of the speedo that shows oil pressure. It is an electric gauge. I bought a kawasaki drain plug, drilled and tapped for 1/8" NPT, treaded a 90 degree elbow in, then threaded my sender into the elbow. My sender is about the size of a D battery. Its just one wire from the sensor up to the wire harness.

How much did this set up run you?.

Here is mine, I don't think I have $60 in the whole setup.
I disassembled the gauges from a Sunpro mini gauge kit
Altered the coolant manifold to fit the temp sensor, drilled and tapped a Kaw plug for the oil (did this part a while back when I was using Autometer gauges)
then Wired in some LEDs with resistors for the trouble lights and a toggle switch for the Tboost.

I saw that Innovate makes them in a kit which includes the sender. E-bay has them, but they are pricey at $190

What numbers do you get while it is running?.

With the stock oiler, I was a couple psi at idle when warm. With the higher output oiler I'm around 10 at idle and in the 80's when the RPMs climb. Starting it when cold, the psi is higher, but that drops as the engine warms up.

Too much! I do like it though.

Like KJ, I have a HD oiling kit. I just finished the gauge setup at the end of the season so don't have a lot of riding time in with it. Readings were pretty similar to KJ's.

Anyone know of a cheaper route for RPM and Temp in one gauge?? this will work perfect and then i could install oil P where the temp normally goes. But i cant find a cheaper one

I bet it would work.. But it's out of stock :confused2:

i found other sites with them in stock.. Actuall found a full digital one with 2 temp sensors Just so expensive!!! i only want the tach for maintenance purposes seeing how I have Ecliptech shift lift and its pritty acturate at 1k increments... may just do away with tach. Save stock one and hook it up if i ever had to adjust anything to certain RPM

Koso has some real neat gauges,tachs all in one units .

 

[donnelly317]

yea i kind of like the stock speedo and the ecliptech light on it... if there whole set ups were like 150 - 200 i might debate. But for 350 i could find cooler stuff to do lol.

 

[wildweasel_pt]

Look at PLX devices. thats the neat stuff... LOL... OLED fully programmable gauges.

I went that route for a while. Just a shift light and a speedo. When tuning I plugged in a tach.
