my oil pressure gauge is starting to go out so im going to replace it with an defi aftermarket gauge and i was wondering if i could just put the new sensor in the factory location or do i have to tap an oil line. also if i do replace the stock sensor with the aftermarket gauge sensor will it mess with the ecu or will it just light up a light on my dash?

the us sender is on the passanger side of the motor, if you look at the drivers side there is a port plugged where the jdm sender goes, you can use that port and not effect your stock gauge, which btw has no effect on the ecu, just goes to the gauge, not usre if it;s metric, npt, or bpt?

thanks ive been trying to find out where to put the sensor in for a while so when the gauge actually comes in i can get it installed quick. but where is the port for the jdm sender is it near the oil filter or on the complete oppisite side of the motor?

filter is on the drivers side, the jdm sinder is in a line block on the drivers side, look up the jdm engine comversion instructions
