ProSport Evo Gauge install then 1J Crank Pulley destruction

[OneJArpus]

Installed an oil pressure gauge in my car a few nights ago, then that same night boom, the crank pulley decides they want a divorce and they just split up on me! Good thing i wasn't going fast, and i was doing a u-turn it just mearly bailed and fell on my splash shield... any how here are some pictures

Here is the gauge installed. It is the EVO Series

Then while driving the pulley breaks!

Taking the front bumper off for the tow truck driver (not 100% bolted down for this reason so i dont go destroying my lip)

This is how it looked when it got towed

NOW i started work, taking off the rad/hydro setup for more room.


damn you stock pulley!!!!!!!! I was very lucky that i was only doing a u-turn and the pulley fell off with out destroying anything other then the pulley itsself.

The replacement ATI Super Damper

wow, lucky, was the crank bolt just loose or it was something else?

the pulley separated because the rubber was worn.

Does the gauge come with the sending unit? Does it screw right in or did you need to use an adaptor?

Bolt was on tight... but like said the rubber that bonds the ribbed part tho this sheered off

the pulley separated because the rubber was worn.

YES! That pizza was really good despite the size

Does the gauge come with the sending unit? Does it screw right in or did you need to use an adaptor?

comes with sensor and it is 1/8 npt and will screw in to any fitting that size. I have an oil filter adapter with 1/8 npt holes for sensors. I use 1 for turbo feed & 1 for this sensor

Liking the gauge, at first I thought it was a combination oil pressure(inner digital read)/wideband (outer ring), looks good man!

As for the crank pulley, that was a fast replacement, did you already have it waiting for just such an occasion?
