Where do I tap in for oil pressure?

[CCXVI]

I ordered the triple gauge pod, and other than boost I'm thinking oil pressure and maybe temp or trans temp, but I'm not sure where to tap in for any of them.

If you have a PP equipped SHO, you can tap into the aux oil cooler, as there's an unused bolt on the housing, that can be removed from the housing, drilled/tapped and the sensor then installed into that opening.

Least for oil temp that is.

Sensor for trans temp, can be placed into the smaller of the two bolts at the bottom of the trans pan.

It's the one used by tech's to check pressures.

LMK look for pics and I'll edit/add them to each of my replies. Gimme a few.

I don't have a PP, but damn that's helpful on the trans temp! Definitely going that route then.

I don't have a PP either, however the aux oil cooler can be ordered and VERY EASILY retrofitted.

Seriously it's so stupidly easy.

15 to 30min tops to do it.

That's tempting then. How much does it cost? I may go voltmeter since I've been having electrical issues lately too.

Like $100 for the aux cooler itself but you'll also need #11 in this diagram as well.

It's a matter of two or three bolts from what I recall.

Remove the old, original piece, then install the bypass part (#11 in diagram) then place the aux cooler onto that bypass part, re-install the 2 or 3 bolts, wallah. Done.

So the part from Tasca has everything you need?

 

[bpd1151]

I have old part #'s, from way back in like 2011/12. I know they're no longer applicable.

However, besides the part # I linked, which is for the actual cooler itself, if you look on the diagram the other part needed is #11.

Maybe SHOdded can help find that for 'ya?

Here's my "How-To" tutorial I authored many years ago on this subject matter.

Still works to this very day, on those Non-PP equipped owners like myself, that want (some) of the benefits of a PP equipped SHO.

Again, most part #'s are obsolete as FMC changes their inventorying system annually.

But it should help steer ppl in the right direction.

Probably will do the cooler on my 15

That bolt does not seem to be listed separately, comes as part of the oil filter adapter. The listed parts for a 2018 SHO include

There IS a bushing listed that physically looks like #11.

SHOdded always comes through.

Believe this to be The One

thanks everyone

That's really neat, thanks! I'm already $500 in on this gauge setup so I'm gonna wait on adding anything else lol.

Thanks for the info...........I have a trans gauge that I'd like to install and this inof is helpful.
Sorry but did you say this was a PP?

Actually I have a trans temp gauge, this is for pressure?

 

[bpd1151]

My 2010 is a *NOT* a PP equipped SHO.

However, I did pioneer retro fitting many of the options that a PP equipped one has.

Not all, but most. Glad the info was helpful. Makes feel good that it's still of relevance, even years later.

No, mine is for temp.

But I would think pressure can be found in a PID somewhere. You'd have to ask those owner's who are much more "techy" than I on where to go to find that info.
