Where is your pressure sensor located?

When warm:
Max oil pressure should be 75-80psi
At Idle oil presure should be around 25-30psi.

See here too. Its a B16a, but same deal.

i know mine only shows 65PSI -70PSI for vtec activation.
You should be teeing off from the oil pressure sensor on the block for accurate reading

Worst advice ever!!!!

Not having a stab at you man but i don't reccommend T pieces at all.

My block now needs to be welded because of a T piece.

Sandwhich plate is the way to go for mounting purposes :thumbsup:

All depends on what part you use to T it off. I used a speedflow fitting no issues at all. The sandwich plate does not give as accurate a reading.

You can get relocators also which are supose to be better

How does a Sandwhich plate not give an accurate reading?

depending on which place you T off you get different readings. THe Original Honda spot where your OEM oil pressure reader is would be the best as that's where honda is getting their signal for the ECU, so i would have thought that's the best place to get the reading also

that is only when you have an oil cooler sandwhich plate. In this case you put your 'pressure' in the plate after the cooler and your temp before the cooler. (This way your monitoring 'pressure' going into the motor (after cooler) and you can see if its withing spec pressure)(Temp can be monitored as its picked up from the sump (before cooler at its hottest) where you want it) Works out a treat. You can monitor pressure going into the motor and oil temp at its hottest as its being picked up from the sump.

If you have a plain old sandwhich plate. Then theres no issues at all.

add a sandwich plate and run it off that, or make up a bradied line (30cm) and mount the oil pressure sender some where else off the block.

Mine also broke off which had a t -piece to the block. Mine was pretty easy to fix with the "easy out" drill bit.

I'll post pics of my block once i get pictures. I've got a nice chunk off the block.

Sandwhich plate all the way.
