Is it used ONLY by the idiot light or does the vtec controller look at it too to see if vtec can be engaged?

 

Just controls the idiot light. No need to run one. It is suggested that you do run an oil pressure gauge though.

 

FWIW, when I installed my oil pressure guage I left the stock sender on and it caused the pressure to read WAY low (like 2psi) - scared the **** out of me!
Anyways I just disconnected it and the guage works correctly now, not sure if this was just me or everyone would have this problem.

 

What oil pressure gauge did you install? I am getting ready to install an Apexi unit.

 

An autometer phantom.

 

Cool, thanks guys. I am installing a autometer elect oil pressure gauge... removing the stock sensor should make the installl much easier (no Ts).

Is there another oil pressure sensor? Doesn't vtec check to make sure oil pressure is > X before kicking in? How does the ECU check the oil pressure?

 

so why even T off at teh oil pressure sender thing for an oil feed an not just run the line straight into the block with no T????

 

Well, I guess some of us run a turbo here. I may be wrong though

 

is that suposed ot be some smart *** remark about people that are not turbo posting on the forced induction forum????

no, it's a smart *** remark about people that live in Winter Park and driver silver CRX's

 

someone *jb* wants to see if his motor can hold over 1bar on the dyno whenever he brings it in....

 

ROFL. I honestly don't think this POS ZC is going to handle 1/2 bar... I'm finding more and more CRAP done to it. My B16 was wired better than this gdamn thing.
