    Electrical oil pressure gauge for 1500psi (100 bar), where to buy???

    Hello
    I cant find electrical oil pressure gauge which can measure oil pressure up to 1500 psi or 100 bar. Want electrical because dont want to have hot oil under this pressure in the cabin
    I want to monitor Vanos oil pressure in euro s50b30.
    Here is gauge but I want to have smaller gauge in cabin.

    thanks

    I have carburetors, and I'm not afraid to use them!

    +1. I believe that the VANOS operates at engine oil pressure levels ---- unless there is a secret oil pump somewhere that nobody has ever seen!!!!

    The s85 has its own high pressure Vanos pump, in fact if during any kind of engine repair if you rotate the engine backwards it will supposedly destroy the pump.

    You are looking for high pressure transducer
