PICS AND VIDS boost, fuel press. and oil press. gauge install

Here is a video of my gauges

here are the pictures of them at night

Boost Gauge
Before

After (using the provided T fitting from the Gauge)

Fuel Pressure Gauge
Before

After (The fuel pressure gauge did not come with a T fitting)
This is what i had to buy from the local HOME DEPOT
Since the Pressure Sensor has a 1/8" PT treading, I bought:
1 X 1/8" Female Pipe TEE
2 X 5/16" X 1/8" BARB TO MIP Adaptor
2 x Hose Clamps

Oil Pressure Gauge
All I needed to buy was a Oil Sandwich Adaptor [M20 Pitch x 1.5 for HONDA] with the 1/8 PT fitting (i believe 1/8 is pretty universal, but MAKE SURE you check what your sensor is treaded before buying)

Pictures I don't have, but where to tap I can explain.

Boost: usually taps anywhere in the turbo/sc vacuum system. If done properly, you should have a vacum manifold into which the vacuum lines tap in. This manifold would have a port available to attach the boost line to.

Oil Pressure: Are you oil cooling the supercharger? I know on a turbo oil cooled setup, a oil filter sandwich adapter is used, and it has 3 ports available to attach an oil pressure gauge to.

Fuel Pressure: This can be done easily by just tapping into your fuel line right in your engine bay, the one that leads into the fuel rail.

I hope this helps a little!

Re: boost, fuel press. and oil press. gauge install

i got the sandwich adaptor for the oil pressure. so the oil pressure is done.

is there a specific fuel line i need to use?
the product manual states "feel feed line"

as for the boost gauge...im still unsure which one to exactly tab into

For boost, i'd think you could tap into an available vacuum nipple on the intake manifold. I know the I4's have one that's just capped, the V6 might too.

Re: boost, fuel press. and oil press. gauge install

can i use this vacuum line?

Re: boost, fuel press. and oil press. gauge install

Is that an FMU, or FPR? It doesn't look like a vacuum line.. Fuel probably.

Re: boost, fuel press. and oil press. gauge install

thats the FPR/
and it is a vacuum line.
nva av6 over at v6p helped me confirm that line can be tap for boost

i just need to figure out for fuel pressure now.

Re: boost, fuel press. and oil press. gauge install

my fpr is tapped for the boost line as well. letme kno what u use on the factory fuel rail, adapters,connectors, etc. i would appreciate it man.

I updated the first post with where i tapped in my gauges

 

[1NonlyAccord]

what brand of oil sandwich plate did you go with? I heard Gloshift from ebay leaks. also did it come with the bolts to seal the holes not being used?
i need to get one for my oil pressure gauge;since i went with mechanical.
