Guy I'm attaching a heltech 2000 pro to the standard oil presure sensor getting a reading but dont know what scale to set the heltech to???? Example what voltage is say 40 pound ?????

Guy I'm attaching a heltech 2000 pro to the standard oil presure sensor getting a reading but dont know what scale to set the heltech to???? Example what voltage is say 40 pound ?????

I have the r32 gtr oil sensor

The stock gauge reads in kg/cm2, then just use: http://wiki.xtronics.com/index.php/Pressure_Conversion_Table

1kg/cm2 for example is close to 1bar which in turn is about 14.x psi

convert kg/cm2 to whatever pressure you prefer, psi, bar etc

no he means

at 1.0v what is the pressure ie 1.05kgcm2

at 1.1v what is the pressure and so on 1.15 kgcm2

it would be documented somewhere, not sure where tho

you could always use a mulitmeter and linear scale it yourself

according to service maunal at idle of 800rpm it should be 1.5kgcm2 for RB26DETT

no idea if you have std oil pump or other shit modified, but you could use that as base

ie warm up engine

drive around

come back to garage

let it idle for a minute

take that voltage as base and assume it is 1.5kgcm2 and you have fairly basic comparison

no idea if its linear or not ie lets say 1.5kcm2 is 1.0 not sure if 2.0v is 3.0kgcm2

problem is paul we are not useing the standard gauge so what we are do is inputing it to the IQ3 digi dash and that want us to give it a scale to then convert to signal the dash wants??????

Or measure it with a multimeter and have an electronic/mechanical gauge hooked up and read both for nodes throughout the range, plot this up and get a line of best fit for oil pressure vs voltage and apply this to the haltech. I doubt it would be a straight line fit.

not sure if this helps but a lot of electronic gauges have a sender unit that sends a voltage signal to the gauge, would one of them do it for you?

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
