Oil Pressure Gauge

vctwhitepearl · Nov 17, 2018

Seems like vital information missing from the stock 1.5 Turbo with a tune..... Can anyone offer any suggestions for those that don't have one?

I'm surprised all the gauges we have for the SI is fuel and coolant temp.

Would be more useful if we had a oil pressure gauge or a OIL temp gauge.
The temp gauge and the fuel gauge are HUGE and they could have made them both a little smaller to fit another gauge or two there.

I'd be interested in more gauges myself.......subscribed.

There is no sensor for oil on this car... at least not that I'm aware of

I know SiriMoto and Greddy have oil cooler kits that have provisions for oil pressure and temp sensors. Both kits are kinda pricey $600+ range. You could also get an oil filter sandwich plate but I've heard it takes some grinding to get most of those to fit in the L15. I wanna know alittle more about my oil temps before i drop $600 on an oil cooler. Ive been trying to learn more about arduino. They sell shields with canbus support. I see alot of people using it to add sensors to cars. Its pretty tough, Ive never tried any programming before so we'll see if I can get anywhere with this.
I guess I could always just duct tape a barbecue grill style meat thermometer to my oil filter as a super super cheap option... lol

I do know that Honda stated the 1.5T does not produce any excess heat...at least at idle. So I don't think oil cooling should be a priority. Any thoughts?
