Oil Pressure Gauge - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

solidONE · 01-26-2016, 12:14 AM

Been looking for a oil pressure gauge. I've actually tried a couple cheapo china ones and they did not read the signal from the pressure sensor at all or correctly. I would love to be able to log oil pressure parallel to my the data being recorded in my OFT, but I dont think it's possible.

Tried this one. looks awesome but it does not pick up the signal from the supplied pressure sensor (single wire): http://www.ebay.com/itm/251584094153...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

This one look identical, but cost 3 times more: http://www.maperformance.com/product...FRRlfgodaZUIgA

Let's see what you guys are using for oil pressure readings!

I'm using the Shadow Pro Gauge 2 "Perrin" oil pressure gauge. It works great. See my build thread for pics.

I use defi, works great, matches the dash lights, highly recommended.

Dang... ballers. I was going to cap my budget at $100 for the gauge. Maybe I should spend a bit more.

defi is really nice, but expensive lol. I believe you also need to buy a control module along with a gauge

crazyfrenchbiker · 01-26-2016, 04:20 AM

I have an AEM oil pressure gauge, and it works perfectly.

It depends on version.
I have analog Defi gauges and no controller. Also no data logging.

Ashikabi · 01-26-2016, 09:30 AM

I'm guessing all the big names line Defi, AEM, and Apexi will have top notch gauges. Gotta pay to play bro

Been using the prosport "jdm" series w/ stepper motor for oil pressure, no issues here, although I have read issues where people got a faulty sender.

I like the pricing and look of the prosport gauges. Since they do have a warranty it shouldn't be too big an issue to replace the sender. I actually made a hookup to test the sensor using compressed air, so I can check it before I install.

STRi manufactures for Defi but is moving out of the US for distribution. A few places are blowing their old stock out: http://www.iagperformance.com/STRI-6...-p/xs6005a.htm

I use VDO on my racecar and the datalogger just reads the analog voltage from the same spot as the gauge.
Then you need to figure out your own conversion coefficients.

I made a gauge pod out of aluminum and installed three 2 1/16" gauges. Oil Pressure, Boost, and Tranny Temp. Mine works really well except it's scary how low oil pressure gets at idle.
