oil light on idel
Im having alittle trouble with the civc, Maybe you could help me come up with a soultion?
I was having problems of leakage with my old pan so I got another one and welded a -10 fitting on to it. Welded the fitting inside the pan and out, Bough a SS -10 line with areo fit fittings. Well Today I had a little extra time at the shop so I went ahead and installed it all. Thinking this would solve all my problems Right.. Well it didnt lol. Now my oil light comes on when Im at idel and there is small amounts of oil in between the Hot and Cold sides of the turbine. I checked the oil level and its kinda over the fill mark. Any Ideas?
Along with this problem My boost gauge reads 25hmg of Vacum this scares me because it never used to do this and my gauge tops out at 30 lol. When I first installed everything it would read 15 (tops 20)
Let me know what you think.
Car: 1995 civic Eg Obd1
Engine: B16 Oem H.G with ARP headstuds,
Turbo: T3 To4e open 3in D.p

Re: (2point2)
The oil pressure sender will turn on the dummy light at or below 4psi of oil pressure. Either your dummy light wire is shorted to ground (if it always stays on), or you have almost ZERO oil pressure at idle. The latter indicates a bad pump or spinning bearings. IMO no car should have a turbo w/o having a boost *AND* oil pressure gauge.
BTW most Hondas will idle around 20-23" Hg (thats inches of mercury, inHg). Some gauges ship 1-2psi, which is ~2-4" Hg

Re: (HiProfile)
Well I went down our makes **** 1320, at the end of the run the light came one when I was at idel. I shut the engine off got out and over looked the engine trying to find a leakage point. I saw small amount on the turbo its self but not enought to be concerend.
So could it be that there is to much oil?
