I installed my gauge right at the head. That bolt right next to the vtec seliniod.




Well my problem is that when i step on the gas it jump up an down, which is fine. but when i hold it down around 6k, it jumps way up. 70psi. If i really rev the **** out of it it will go past 80psi. Does this seem right? My old gauge did that but i had a enydn oil pump an they said it was fine. it goes back down after i release the throttle. For some reason i think my old gauge moved faster. can i get some help?


heres a video of whats going on. but i was told its fine for a mech. gauge.Only reved to about 5k

also what readings do u have for every day drivin. it seem mine it kind high

 

That's next to the distributor where the VTEC oil-pressure switch was, right? I was gonna install my Autometer oil pressure sending unit there, but it didn't fit because of the dist. Did you just ground out the line to the ECU?

 

i just removed the plug that was there. its the screw that has the allen head on it. not the vtec oil pressure unit

 

what size and thread is that hole? i cant find the right adapor to fit it

 

its a bitch. 1/8 pipe. it was reall tight. we mearured an the thread was 10mm with 1.0 thread. but if u thread some 1/8 pipe in first(slowly)...it will fit. like I said..it was a tight *** fit. but with some typhlon tape it will work like a charm.

 

how does it affect pressure readings if your getting it through this source, as where you were getting the source from behind the block where the oil pressure sensor is?

 

it seems to be the same. i asked my buddy what he gets for reading. there the same as mine.
