Gauge install in s197?

I'm Ed but anyways my fuel sensor adapter came with the fuel rail kit I bought from Aeromotive. Nice quality kit but I did end up getting a few different angled hose ends to clear my inter-cooler plumbing. You may or may not have the same issues as I reversed the plumbing on the Whipple kit when I did my engine bay clean up. I do not have a crossover between the rails either. I pretty much bought the kit and then configured it my own way.

What do you need pics of? Do you have an install manual? I think I got mine still sitting around somewhere.

Bottom right you can see the factory fuel line going into the distribution block. From there it splits for each fuel rail. On the block is a provision for my fuel pressure gauge. On the passenger side fuel line is where I mounted the fuel pressure sensor and adapter. It only measures pressure from one side and I have no fuel crossover even though it came with the kit. I run the vacuum line from the manifold through a little brass tee which feeds my boost gauge.


Here is the actual adapter for the sensor. It just goes in line with the fuel line.


Here it is installed on the strut tower showing the factory fuel line, distribution block with sensor port on the top and the FRPS adapter.


Another angle.



Hope this helps with the plumbing. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Thx a lot, so this block under the sensor you gut with the kit right? or different order? I have modified the OEM fuel rail with 90 angel line and installing the sensor with another 90 degree line on after market port from ebay, I have one concern with the fuel rail if it will hold the pressure, if not then I will need new one like yours.

That one looks like it attaches to the fuel rail in the stock location or am I wrong? Mine goes in line with the fuel line and is a foot or two away from the actual rail. Does that piece attach to the fuel rail?

If you want to install it in line you are going to need a piece like this pictured on their website on the left. The black piece with the two screws. The sensor bolts to that and the fuel line goes in one side and out the other. I don't know if they sell that piece separate or not.
