Looking to get an oil pressure gauge for the cam. There are 2 different types. I just need to know if 100 psi gauge is enough for the 1mz engine.

Just wondering, where are you going to tap to read for the oil pressure once you install the gauge??

most of the time people T into the Oil Pressure Sending unit. (thats what i did on my 5s-fe). The 1mz should have one too

or the easiest way is to get a sandwich adapter for the oil filter

chances are that you'd want to run an oil temp gauge as well

There is only so many gauges I can fit in my 3 gauge pod..... 3. Haha, I am have a boost already and I am going to put an AFR in there. Idk, I saw the sandwich adapter. There one that works with our oil filter? Would be much easier to install instead of T'ing it on.

I have a transdapt oil filter relocation kit which I use to add extra capacity to my oil, help with oil cooling and also so that I have additional room to T off my hoses so that I can run both an oil pressure and an oil temp sensor off of it

a simple sandwich adapter will also give you the inlets that you'll need to just install the sensors
