i thought that was for the vtec, i need the one that sends the pressure from the block to the ecu.

what I'm needing it for is to hook up my oil pressure guage. Or if some one knows of a diagram that is labeled what ecu pins are what I may can pick it up from there

That is it, it's not for VTEC.

The only thing I can find on the back of the block is my knock sensor and my oil filter, nothing else what so ever.

this one has a T adaptor on it, but you can see where it is located. to the right of the alt and left of the oil filter, then a little up. :thumb:

Thank you so much, now the problem is i have to put a fitting and a T in it so my sending unit for my guage will fit. Anyone know what thread size i need to fit in the block?

It was kind of a PITA to install, and I'm usually pretty good at working in tiny spaces.
