New Oil pressure sensor location question

[Datsrboi]

First off the TSRM Most likely will not answer this question and a search result will not help considering I do not know what this second location is. My car is completely drain of oil and coolant so I do not know what this location is.. But as you can see in the picture. I understand the stock oil pressure sensor circle in red is right there. I know the ECU does not require it but does take readings off it as many other members have told me. Because of that I do not want to remove it or have a T fitting to stick on an aftermarket one which to me will do more good and help for me while letting the stock ECU have the stock oil pressure signal still.

My question is the second location I am seeing is block off with a bolt. Is this too an oil port or is it a coolant port? I can not tell for myself because my car is completely drained of oil and coolant so I will not be able to figure this out. I was hoping someone would. If this second location is indeed good for a aftermarket adaptor for an aftermarket oil pressure location I will surely put it to use.

Thanks, Datsrboi

That'll work...if you want to measure coolant pressure. It's the block drain.

I was gonna say something to that effect.

I yank those things out and put petcocks there. Makes life easy on turbo cars.

Datsrboi: If I'm not mistaken there's an oil port just to the rear and low of that.

Indeed it is...it's the feed to the turbo

Get rid of the Fram filter!

 

[Enraged]

is there any locations on the drivers side of the block to measure oil pressure? if so, any idea on what thread pitch it is?

Hey, no CRM allowed. Gear up, flaps up, shut up

Damn, I completely missed the orange can of doom...

 

[Datsrboi]

Haha so much for that idea. Thanks.

As for the frame it was free. I do have mobil 1 oil filter on stand by and want to waste the frame for like 50 miles when I start the car up again to make sure to cleans out anything that might fallen into the engine when i clean the head surface.

That's the only good use I can think of for a Fram

Jet - LOL...gotta love "old school" :biglaugh:

That's the passenger side, obviously.

how about the one just above the flange for the turbo oil tube? (just above the bottom stud)

You need an adaptor.
