nissanman312 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I know you can take a reading from the sandwich plate. but did I see there was somwhere you can tap into the block for a more accurate reading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Can you not just T into the std oil pressure take off point, or at the switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 What I want to do is run it into the ecu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Ahh I missed the ECU Tec in your sig, so I presume its got an analog input trigger for fail safes, so you can calibrate the input for a pressure sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Yeah that's the plan Litchfield do the same with fuel pressure Aswell with a sensor on the fuel rail. So having them both put on if I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea mark Ian is doing some work on my car soon so ask him to do this while it's there I just didn't know where the best place to take the pressure from was and what was needed to do it I guess he will. I just wanted to learn it Aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Out of interest what presures should I be seeing from a healthy engine When cold and hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Not sure if the HR is much different, but the DE should see 14 psi at idle, and 43psi at 2,000 rpm, cold pressure will depend on what the pressure relief valve is set to, I wouldn't expect the HR to be much different, most modern engines run similar oil pressures these days.
