Oil pressure take off???

[nissanman312]

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?

[Tricky-Ricky]

Can you not just T into the std oil pressure take off point, or at the switch?

[nissanman312]

What I want to do is run it into the ecu

 

[Tricky-Ricky]

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?

[nissanman312]

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

Easy job. What input you going to use?

 

Let me know what you want to do.

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

[nissanman312]

Out of interest what presures should I be seeing from a healthy engine

When cold and hot

[Tricky-Ricky]

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.
