How-to - oilpreassure light !

[KristianAE86]

Since the AE86 does not have an oilpreassure light as standard.
i have made an how-to - as to how you easily make on fit your car.


When driving - it´s way easier to focus your attention on a RED bright light - than on an guage way down in the clusters.


So here´s how its done.

1: purchase a suitable red 12V light (or other colour you prefer)

Oops...... sorry - wrong picture...

2:

here the right model of light - it´s a rear facing lights for an trailer

i attached an 14W bulb - so it will SCREAM at you

For the AE86 the mountingpiont is very nice just as i have got it on my car.

Step 3:

Attach red/black wires from light to engine bay

Step 4:

remove oilsensor from engineblock - located in front of oilfilter.

it may be very hard to loosen.

Step 5:

Purchase suitable Y/T crossing for oil line with same
thread as oilsensor.

[KristianAE86]

Step 6:

Purchase suitable oilpreassure sender from an Honda Civic - will fit from -Civic/CRX 84 -91

[KristianAE86]

Step 7:

fit these object together - not forgetting the very important threadtape.

[KristianAE86]

Step 8:

Reattach onto engineblock & fit the correct wire to the correct sender.

DONE.

Thnx Kris...

I hope im not being an ass, but thats the wrong way to wrap the treadtape... When you screw the fitting into the block, the tape will actually come off and then the joint isnt liquidproof. Its ment to go the other way around :wink:

Great idea though
