Digital Oil Pressure Gauge?

Been looking around and have yet to find a digital oil pressure gauge that has a sending unit with a high enough pressure threshold to accommodate the series 2 higher oil pressures..

There's mechanical gauges, but i was looking for a Digital gauge, anyone know of any?


Thanks

since all the Oil Pressure threads are zillions of posts long and I don't feel like reading...
what does the Series II oil pressure top out at?

Somewhere in the realm of 150-160psi i remember reading...

I was seriously considering getting Mazmarts oil pressure mod... but my current gauge tops out at 100psi...

Edit:

156psi for the series II

Is 145 max psi not enough for Series II? Here is a link to Prosport Digital Gauges.

Sorry did not hit the go button very quickly.

150 - 160 PSI?!
My '05 has never topped out my gauge which can read up to 100 psi. WOW.

The RB gauges are maxing out on guys with the Mazmart OP kit. There are pictures in the Mazmart OP discussion.

As I posted before, my Prosport goes t o 150, that is high enough, you will only see that high of a pressure in extreme redline driving situations.

With the Mazmart oil pressure kit, my Summit gauge would work over 100 psi but wouldn't display the leading "1". A much better cheap gauge is Glowshift which runs 0-145 psi.

Ive been using Glowshift digital gauges for a while.

They can read 0-145 psi.

The RB kit is a mechanical gauge and only goes to 100PSI, how could it possible read up to 200PSI? I have the Prosport premium and it goes to 150PSI but i have to admit that it crapped out recently after only a year or so.

I thought there wasn't a sandwich plate that fit the s2 since the filter is in a tight spot
