Stock Oil pressure Gauge Versus Greddy oil pressure gauge

[nowayout]

Finished installing my Greddy oil pressure gauge last night.

It seem that the stock oil pressure gauge is about as accurate as the stock boost gauge.
Which it's junk.

My Greddy electronic gauge react ten time faster at least.

I woundering if any one else can comfirm too?

Maybe later tonight we will fine out how accurate the water temp gauge is too.

Which I wouldn't be suprise if it the same way too.

i agree 100%.. the stock oil pressure gauge is junk. You can have no pressure and wouldnt even know it on the stock gauge.

Sweet how hard was it to install?
I think my next gauges are EGT and OIL pressure!

Not that hard at all.
Took me able $30min and another 30min to let the car run to check for any leaks.

Does the greddy oil pressure gauge have a sensor similar to the stock one, in that it does not deal with vacuum lines?
I used to have the autometer mechanical oil pressure gauge, and I just didnt like the way it uses a vacuum line. I wanna know if it's a sound investment.

the greddy one has it's own pressure sensor.

works great.

Tap it into the plug that's nest to the oil filter.

theres no comparison the stock is a guess at best just like the vac/boost

Greddy actually has its own pressure sender that sends an electrical signal to the gauge. Very accurate and responsive.

does it go in place of the stock sensor?
I've had a mechanical one and an npt fitting took the place of the stock sensor in a socket just behind the oil filter.

There are a few places you can put the sender but I do have mine in place of the stock sender.
