Oil Pressure To Ecu Question

I have an RB25DET Neo in an R32. The oil pressure gauge reads at 8 on idle and goes off the gauge when revved. An oil pressure test showed that the motors oil pressure is spot on, so it's an incompatibility with the 32 gauge and the RB25 pressure sensor.

My question: The RB20 and RB25 ECU pinouts show that oil pressure information is not relayed back to the ECU so it must go straight to the gauge, hence I'm thinking I can just buy an RB20 oil pressure sensor and fit it with an adapter to the RB25 motor, and this should give the gauge the correct reading without stuffing up anything in the ECU. Sound right?

Seems you're thinking is spot on, champ! :cool:

Schweet :cool:

Bubba: I have this awful desire to keep the car as close to factory in appearance as possible with the exception of a non-factory paintjob :P I'd like to get all OEM gauges working as they should. Next problem to solve, the water temp gauge ;)

water temp guage is the same thing need to use the rb20 sensor but not the ecu one.

and yeah as the others have said use the rb20 oil pressure sensor and you should be right with the oil pressure, my series 1 rb25 sensor seems to work fine with the dash but i'm sure they changed it with the neo

there are two water temp sensors one for the ecu the other for the dash, just fit rb20 water and oil pressure sensors to the neo.

      Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
