Is it feasible to run a mechanical oil pressure gauge fitting to this hole.
If it works for an oil feed then will it work for oil pressure gauge? SHoiuld do hey?
I wanted an electrical but a mechanical gauge arrived and I was in teh process of blocking this port off but now im thinking of running my gauge to it. Will it work?

SERIOUS. Dammit. Im gonna have to drill into the block then.
I was runnig a tee piece off the oil feed line but it casued too many problems. The weight of the fittings and the vibrations from teh sidewinder kept causing issues.
Any other places I can use.

Do you have a oil relocator?

how would you get rid of the oil light using this?
Standalone managemebnt system bypasses this so the ligth wont be on to begin with.
If you dont have a standalone then yes you will have a the light on and you wont have vtec as the oil pressure signal will be lost.

if the oil light on the dash is on, then the wire going to the oil pressure sender is grounded out somewhere.
again this is different than the oil pressure switch for VTEC.
This is what the sender going to the oil light on the dash looks like. This is located next to the oil filter with a single wire going straight to the oil light on the dash. When oil pressure is low, this sender applies a ground to the wire and turns the light on the dash on.
The oil pressure switch in this picture is the one that tells the ecu when the vtec system is pressureized. this is what the block off plug in this thread gets rid of. This has absolutely nothing to do with the oil light on the dash as there is only pressure here AFTER vtec is turned on. This has 2 wires going to it. A sensor ground and a signal wire going back to the ecu. When vtec is not engaged, this switch is off, when vtec comes on and the system is pressureized, the switch turns on and sends a ground signal to the ecu. This way the ecu knows that vtec has turned on properly. You can monitor this in aem pro/tuner by monitoring the switched input that corresponds to this input.

No. I just don't wanna run a tee piece again.
