I guess the 2.0 Nubira engine is a lot different than the 1.6 lanos ?

The 1.6 has the pick-up tube in the crankcase but the oil-pump itself is on the front (lower-right corner, facing) of the engine and under the rear timing belt cover)
On the lanos ? you have to remove the front t-belt cover, power steering pump, the timing belt, rear t-belt cover, the oil-pan and the oil pressure switch connector also the crankshaft position sensor than you can actually remove the oil pump.

Hope you don't have to do all this on your engine?

An electric oil pressure gauge would be the easiest. A quality one would be very accurate.
But you could do a mechanical one if you can find an oil galley on the outside of the block with a plug in it. Than with some fittings? You could do it.

just to clear something up, the oil pump on the 2.0 nubi is on the front of the motor behind the crank pully and looks like this

the oil pressure gauge will be T'ed off from here, one of the two unpluged holes pictured in the front of the block

i may be wrong, ive never done a oil pump on a woo. if i am wrong, sorry (and thank you for correcting me) its just that every engine ive been in its been inside the oil pan. it wouldnt suprise me if daewoo did it different on the 1.6. either way good luck on the oil pressure guage.

you might be thinking of the "sump," which is the oil pickup tube. most every oil pump is driven by the crank and is mounted in a similar location.

im used to small block chevy's, and such which has the pump inside the pan. i grew up with a old skool dad that rebuilt s/b's in the garage. thats how i got into cars and performance

I think i may have found it but its very hard to get to and i cant really see it. But im taking it to a place tomarrow to get an estimate on the install, i called and he said around $40 to $45, wich idk if thats good or bad deal?.?. I thought i could just tap into a pre existing line lol...

gse_turbo · Post by **gse_turbo** » Wed May 02, 2007 4:10 pm

for $40/$45 i'd just take it in, and take the picture i posted also so they don't have to fight it.

the other option is to install a remote oil filter, then you couls tap into that.

good luck,
