Where to put oil pressure gauge


Subareubs

Recommended Posts

Hi team,

I have finally got my EJ254 back together and running and I am wanting to check what the oil pressure is like. I would like to know where the best place to plug a gauge in is and also what gauges you would recommend as I don't want to bother with some cheap ****ty SuperCheapAuto ones. I don't want any fancy boy racer **** I want a good quality tool at a reasonable price (if there is such a thing).

Cheers

DacerX fitted a set of Prosport Halo gauges in his RA. Oil temp and pressure being two of them.

He got a sanwhich plate which you attach onto where the oil filter usually screws onto and then the sensors bolt on there.

Here's the gauge:

I think on the block itself is bung that you can use to fit either an oil pressure or temp sensor, but don't quote me on that.

Ok so picking up on the old thread, finally got around to getting a gauge, adaptor nut from the wreckers and installing it. I put it on the rear drivers side oil gallery port (the one next to the crank case breather). Now at this point I am fairly certain Frank (the Lancaster) has run a big end so the gauge install is basically pointless. I did however notice that when I fired it up from cold the pressure on the gauge went off the charts, maximum pressure on the gauge face is 80 psi.

What kind of oil pressure should I be expecting? Did I put in the right place?

Cold start pressure, especially in winter, will routinely be over 100psi.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
