Just want to say Thank You to my Prosports Gauges--They saved my motor!!!

[Mo87NA]

Well, its now 1:15am and I'm just getting home from an eventful night. I've got about 60 miles or so on my new set-up and I'm still working out the kinks. Today my Prosport Oil Pressure Gauge saved my motor from killing itself. After cruising at about 55mph, my Prosport oil pressure gauge began beeping, blinking and going nuts. I looked over at the stock gauge and it also read 0. I knew immediately something was wrong. I shut the car off and coasted into and empty parking lot. The culprit was a blown oil re-location line. There was oil EVERYWHERE. Not to mention, I just washed and waxed her today too. To make a long story short, my good 'ol pops stopped by and we patched her up so I could get it home. I always knew gauges were important, but I guess it's different when you experience it first hand. Sorry for the long post, but I feel lucky I'm not writing about how I just wasted 3 years......

oh that was lucky... hmm might get me some

and i gotta have gauges that beep n what not! hehe

 

[RacerXJ220]

Nice save.

Might be an idea to set it to beep at 5 psi not 0
(glad ya caught it before any damage was done)

 

[Mo87NA]

Luckily it was set at 5. I made the mistake when running my oil filter relocation of not using high pressure multi-duty hose.....Live and learn I guess.

Yep, gotta make sure you do it right the first time - but damn good catch from those gauges!

 

[Mo87NA]

Sure was. I feel pretty lucky....Its unbelievable how small the hole was too. Guess there's tons of pressure going through those lines.

aeroquip socketless hose and fittings are nice compromise from ss hose.

still rockin a supra Mo? for some reason i thought you were getting out of it. Mines down for paint and bodywork, and maybe even a nice turbo motor i have sitting here!

My aftermarket gauges just blink not beep lol.

 

[LilMissMkIII]

Hey mate, that's awesome to hear... Think it might be a reminder that aftermarket guages are a wise investment!!!!

 

[Mo87NA]

Yes they sure are. Yeah Cas, I'm still in the game. It's been down for almost 3 years, but shes up and running. Me, Shaeff, Slow66 have been working on her for the past month. It's come a long way, but def. worth the wait. Once I'm comfortable the motor has been worked in well enough, off to the dyno I go....

talking about.
