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

Schweet :)

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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
