having trouble with oil pressue and what not on a boosted d15b...

getting about 15-20psi at a warm idle, and 40-50psi crusing at 2500-3000rpm according to my electronic oil pressure gauge.

i know the stock oil pressure light will come on really low, like at 5-7psi, but the light now comes on with the readings above^^. not driving it at all because i dont want to risk the bearings, but just wanna see what other's input is.

 

Post up some pics of how you have everything T'd, chances are something got fouled up with the factory sensor.

Reset the ecu, see if it goes away. If not I think you'll be ok, I'd trust the gauge over the "idiot light" anyday.

 

i thought so too. at the moment i still wont drive it, just until im absolutely sure. not worth risking it, right?

i'll get pix up today

 

Pics for sure

 

 

i dont think he wanted a pic of ur car............................

 

i would trust the gauge over the light

that light is triggerd by a ground. check to see if you have a short on the sensor wire. if i comes on really dim, it could be a bad gauge cluster or bad ground on the cluster.

 

I know the ecu won't reset the light....obviously he has an electrical problem somewhere, so it makes sense to start with the simple things.

 

OEM sending unit might be bad.
