Engine bay oil pressure gauge

[Norm01]

Searched and haven’t found much. Does anyone have an engine mounted oil pressure gauge setup they could share pictures. Interested in installing one.

Why - don't you have one on the dash?

I’d imagine you could use an adapter to install a mechanical gauge on the engine, but I’ve found that the gauge and warning light are adequate.

like that idea.. I have a mechanical temp and oil pressure in the engine room on the boat... super helpful and good double check... why not on the Porsche's??

Probably because one can't exactly go into the engine bay when the car is moving. The double check of the Porsche is the pressure switch and the pressure sensor. Both independent and in different locations. More than adequate for me.

Exactly, I like having a direct read gauge in the engine bay to correlate to the dash one where a pressure is transformed to an electrical signal and then the electrical signal is transformed to a mechanical needle reading.

There is a replacement block that pelican sells that the oil pressure sender screws into that has a pressure gauge. I bought one several years ago.
