    Oil Pressure Gauge Question

    I was wondering, and I believe im right, but want to make sure. No matter where I install my oil pressure gauge, if there is lost pressure anywhere, I will know right. Like if the oil feed line busts, the oil pressure will drop. or will it not drop. I am thinking that it would drop, but am not sure. I will be running the oil feed from the factory location on the block under the exhaust manifold. Just a little thing that popped up in my head before I install the oil pressure sensor. Is there any where you guys recommend installing it?

    If there is a loss of pressure, you will know! and you can install them wherever you want, even under the hood, or you can run yur feed through the rubber sealed guide holes in the firewall.

      I remember something about this over off of Miata.net, some of the miata oil gauges wouldnt show a pressure drop until the motor was already fuked or damn near about to be.

      I cant find the link for it, but yeah if your boosted oil pressure is really important.
      The T3 BP MX-3 conversion has begun, and is taking forever & will kill me.

          So with the Miatas it was just a problem with the gauges? I have an Electrical Autometer gauge, so... Allright thanks guys.
