Re: Is there a low oil level shut off?
ah just to give me peace of mind I guess in case I lose the oil return line from the turbo or something. Or the pressurised one to the turbo. I like to drive it hard at times and I just worry about stuff.
Honda generators have shut offs and I remember my brother's old supra turbo wouldn't start. The dipstick showed no oil, we filled then it started. The manual mentioned the shut off as a safety feature if the oil got low.....makes sense to throw a switch in there to save a motor.

hmm i see. yea thats a legit case you're stating. all i know is that we have a low oil light lol
i guess thats about as close as i can get. i was considering getting the g-force oil pan mod that has those plates that help keep oil in the pan during aggressive cornering. but i doubt im going to get it.

Re: Is there a low oil level shut off?
I didn't know there was an aftermarket pan. Do you mean the low pressure light that looks like a little oil can with a drip or is there a different light on our dash?
How low were you that made your light come on? Ouch btw! I can't imagine the motor liked that at 8k! lol

idk how low it was, but i was doing autocross when it came on for a brief second when i was hitting a u-turn. and i put in about half a quart of royal purple and it never came on again. lol

Re: Is there a low oil level shut off?
Mugen, Spoon and Hytech all make one that I have seen. The Mugen and Spoon are not direct bolt-ins IIRC, the Hytech is the K20Z3 oil pan modified. You also should change oil pumps, a modified OEM S2k pump does wonders. Now low oil shut-off, if you are boosted you should be running a oil pressure gauge, on of the big three most people suggest.

Re: Is there a low oil level shut off?
would be awesome if they had that feature.
and not saying that it cant happen but losing any oil lines to the turbo would be a hard thing to do if they've been properly secured. 3 years of running a boosted setup i never experience any loose lines or anything like that.
I wouldn't worry about it too much.
p.s. oil pressure meters are a handy thing for boosted cars.
