View of where it goes ive try looking but the pictures
On there inter net are way to blury, can any one post a picture
Of where it is or tell me rufly where to look
Please help!!
Thanks

Huh?

Do you do regular track days? more than 10 laps at a time?

If the answer is no, then dont waste your money.

you can put the gauge wherever you think is practical....up to you really

Think he means where does the sensor for the oil temp gauge go

The oil temp sensor goes in a sandwich plate directly above the oil filter.

I thought that too, but it looks like he typed it on the mobile while whacking one off & didn't even check to see if it makes sense, so I'm not sure.

I think I figured it out. Here you go.

I have looked above the oil filtre do i have to take the oil filtre of to see it?
What should it look like? What am i looking for?

yes, you need an oil sandwitch plate between the filter and block to mount the temp probe/pressure sensor.

Is there a way without drilling holes??

Maybe a trip to one of the forum recommended workshops is in order, get them to fit the gauge for you.

I only say this due to the fact you're considering drilling holes in your engine! :confused:

I just need to know where i can screw the sensor into

Any suggestions on where to by these?

Or can i use the second oil gallery closest to the firewall?
(i alrdy got a oil pressure sender in the font under the alternator)

Seriously, where in Gods name did you learn to write?

Pictures say 1000 words....

Safest way...Buy the Subaru oil gallery adapter:

It's about $15 from your local dealer

Done & done & no oil leakage fire hazard.

P.S. if you don't know what an oil filter looks like, don't even bother attempting the above.

hot tip: get a proper 8mm hex drive to fit a 1/2" drive socket, it will be bloody tight as, trying to get it off with just an allen key will lead to fail ;)

This should be moved to the mechanic DIY section and stickied. Great post Rosco!

Obviously the whole post :)

I thought I'd posted that ages ago...I searched here for an hour lastnight & no luck???

Rossco - are you getting nicer to noobs with age? ;)

If i'd found the thread I originally posted that info in I would have!

But, If I can't find it what hope does a newb have??

Rossco love that step by step instruction :)
i think you just "MIGHT" have saved this guy's engine...

be good if you could do one of them for an ej207 install rossco ;)

It's the same deal, exactly the same.

P.s I can't take the credit for those photo's/step by step, I 'borrowed' them.

I did this to my car when I fitted my Defi's a year or so ago.

as an ej205 or an oil temp sensor?

[QUOTE=Jordiee;512962]as an ej205 or an oil temp sensor?[/QUOTE]

All EJ20 crankcases regardless of year have the same blanked off oil gallery & plug.

hahahaha no i meant a step-by-step photo instruction for an ej207 engine build
i was taking the piss

probably should have made it more obvious

Man you have serious 'no idea what you're posting, so you'll change the subject to what ever sounds good issues'

Also:

something like [URL="http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2070967"]this[/URL] would be awesome when you get started Rossco.

sorry marc,
how is my first post "be good if you could do one of them for an ej207 install rossco"
showing "no idea"?
the "one of them" in the post was referring to the step-by-step photo-instruction rossco just posted regarding the oil temp plug

when rossco said "exactly the same", i assumed he had understood my previous post (which was referring to an engine build not a temp sensor install) and was suggesting that an ej207 build was exactly the same as an ej205 build

i didn't think it was exactly the same, so i double checked whether rossco had understood my question by posting "as an ej205 or an oil temp sensor?"

it turns out he thought i was saying 'can you do a step-by-step oil temp install for an ej207"

which i wasn't

now you've made me hijack the thread

thread answers the question(s).
