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.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      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.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
