Locate oil temp sensor.(I have heard its on the bottom of the oil filter assembly)

Get a heating pad

Heat up the heating pad.

Using an infrared thermometer find the max temp achieved by heating pad

Put key to position that oil temp will start being displayed, I think the acc or on position, I will need to confirm with my ecutek cable

Start data logging

Get a first temperature reading of the oil assembly without the heating pad using the infrared thermometer

Wrap oil filter assembly with heating pad. Leave for about an hour to allow the entire assembly to get heat soaked.

Take a second temp reading of oil assembly

Review the data

Find what data moved

Now that you have the PID that is moving you must determine how the data translates into the cold temp reading you got and the high temp reading that you got

That should be the PID and the equation needed for the custom PID in torque

Anyone want to do the leg work on this one since I'm 2000k from my car?



Sent from my flux capacitor using Taptalk
I can't do it yet as I still don't have my FR-S hopefully someone would do the leg work, also curious about determining the equation, can you be smore specific on how to determine the equation? Also when do you plan on travelling back 2000k?
