Default Need help hooking up fuel pressure guage

I've got a NX wet kit hooked up to my fuel rail right now. I just purchased an elec. fuel pressure guage and understand I will need a T fitting for the fuel rail. I plan to purchase the one that Speed Inc sells, but will I need anything else? I think I read that I will need an adapter for the T fitting so it can screw into the rail?

The Schrader adapter you already have may be able to be
reused with a pipe-thread "T"; check the threads on the
NX plumbing and the fuel pressure sender. My sender was
1/8" pipe thread and I used a Home Depot brass "T" to
connect the electrical sender to the gauge and Schrader
hose, of a mechanical FP gauge I bought to make it dual
electrical and visual reading. If the NX plumbing is all AN
then you will probably need an AN to pipe thread adapter
for the sender.

Use the DynoTune Gauge adaptor. It is 4An and screws onto the fuel rail. From that you can simply screw the Nitrous line to the end, and the fuel pressure gauge sending unit screws into the side. Just make sure you have plenty of space around the fuel rail fitting as the adaptor does not swivel.

Dan,

What is the part # for this adapter? I'm looking at your page and not sure if I'm looking at the right one. Are you talking about the single hole purge/gauge adapter, or would I need the 2 hole one?

Greg, yes the single hole will let you screw the sending unit into it. A two hole adaptor will let you screw two items into it like a FPSS and sending unit.
Be carful to make sure you have plenty of room around the sending units as the adaptor does not swivel.
Cheers
Dan
