i noticed that there is another oil gallery port on the head by the obvious one in the middle of the head, but more towards the back, has anyone tried an oil pressure sender on that one and if so does it read proper psi unlike the one in the middle of the head.

 

Use the one closest to the pulley. I used that one for my sender. I will take pics tmw if you want?

 

yes please do cause i went under the car and looked and if its the one i saw i dont thing it would work, it was on the back and the drive shaft is in the way so it might not be the one u mean. so please, pics.

 

oil in the head is restricted, ull get a reading, but it wont be accurate

 

I'm referring to one of the three oil gallery plugs (1 towards the left of the exhaust manifold is being used for the turbo right now, 2 is right under the exhaust manifold, and 3 is the one closest to the pulley on the right of the exhaust manifold <--- the one I used)

 

oh ok yeah those are fine than i thought u ment the ones on the side of the head

 

 

show me pics

 

see the blue circle, the ones in the same horizontal line as it

*ignore the red circle*

 

so ur using the one that is circled in blue?

 

I'm using the same one. Here are some pics for you to get the idea.

 

yes he is using the one circled in blue as you can see in the pics above this post, the plug is a 6mm allen

 

do u need to wrap the sender wire in heat wrap or something or is it safe from melting?

 

use wire loom

leave some slack in the wire to keep it away from any hot objects, do not let it touch anything in the exhaust directly(inc. turbo)

 

ok i took a look and tried to get the plug off, how the heck did u do it? there is almost no room to work, i couldnt even get my allen wrench go in. i tried to modify it but that didnt work. so how did u do it?

 

i used a allen, than grabbed the allen with some pliers, and twisted it, if you can twist ti break free, it will thread out by hand, also i had the exhaust off :p

 

ok having the exhaust off could help, why didnt u say so. lol i dont think there is any way to do it without taking it off. dangit. should have just got dealership to do it today since they are fixing my sunroof anyway, and checking all the bolts from when they installed the new motor, since i found one that wasnt tightened. and my axle is leaking greese. :P ****, im gonna take it there tomorrow and see if they can just do it.

 

I had the same issue. That thing is a royal pita.

Use a 6 or 7mm allen socket with an extension, if you strip it use a T-40 star socket.

 

I just had the dealer take that bolt off for me. It really is a PITA and they even had trouble getting it off!

 

well i tried to get it off today so id know how to do it when i got my adapter fitting, and after figuring out the right combo of tools to use, it took me about 10 minutes to get it off, surprisingly it took less time getting it back on. lol so now i know how to do it, shouldnt be to hard when i get my fitting. woohoo

u ever heard of rev for the ipod?

 

well i got my fitting today and installed my oil pressure sender, gave me some trouble, but not as hard as i thought it would be. now lets hope the wires dont melt. lol got my temp sensor adapter for the upper rad hose to, all works great, hope the hose doesnt blow apart, it tightened it pretty good, but not to much so i think it should hold. Also got my sunroof fixed so it goes down flush with the roof, they had to order a part for it, it looks great now. no just to get my windows tinted on thursday and wait for my cai, and my elm2 wirless obd2/can thingy so i can use rev on my ipod to get all the info that the performance display gives the 09's and ill be set. sweet.
