THNX for the info TBIRD. WOW ask and you shall receive. Can't wait for my stuff to get here. I went Fuel Pressure since I am adding Nitrous, Oil Pressure cause I think it is important. Nirous on tank.

BTW... I got my Nexus gauges off eBay from Thunderbolt Motorsports.

You've done your homework Ron, it wasn't luck. I think the gauge install will be the easiest out of the s/c install.
I went with the Nexus gauges too: oil pressure, fuel pressure, and boost. Got them from exotictruckandauto.com. Those three gauges and the control box $800 including next day shipping.

Since I am going with the ZEX Nitrous Kit I called ZEX about the Fuel Pressure Gauge. They said I could either drill and tap the backside of the block or 'T' off to the gauge. They said there would be no problem with either method.

i think its easier to just get the motoblue adapter. it plugs in between the stock fuel rail and the Fuel pressure sensor. takes all of 2 minutes to install, if that and you dont need to drill and tap anything.

Does the MotoBlue Fuel rail adapter have 2 1/8 NPT ports in it? I'm trying to figure the best was to set up the Nitrous and Fuel Pressure. If I get the MotoBlue adapter then I have ZEX fitting I don't need. Guess I could put in on E-bay.

Dropped my Zex fuel rail adapter off this morning at a local automotive machine shop to have it drilled and tapped for a 1/8 NPT, 15.00 or 20.00 bucks. He also fills bottles so I know now where to go get the bottle filled.

I realize this is an old thread, but I was wondering if anybody knows if you can get the Motoblue adapter without the gauge? Just hoping to not have to drop another $50 bucks, 1/2 of which would be going to a gauge that I already have.
Also, has anybody installed a oil temp gauge and, if so, where did you mount the sending unit/fitting?
Thanks, and happy 2007

That place had just the block for $50; Jegs has just the block for $50 + like $12 in handling........ may as well buy from rpmoutlet for $50 and get the extra gauge. That's what I'm thinking about doing, and since it has 2 ports I may leave the gauge under the hood and still have the gauge inside too- maybe it would come in handy sometime
