Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys just put a second hand td42 in my trol just wondering if this is where the oil press guage is ment to sit.. it drops a little when revving..

Oil pressure should rise when you rev it, not drop.

will check it again i think it started to rise when revving the other day this pic was taken idleing when i first got it running.. might have been filling oil filters..

Most GQ oil pressure gauges are really inaccurate. I've got a VDO gauge in my wagon as well as the standard gauge and the VDO gauge shows 5 bar at revs when hot, 2 bar when idling. The standard gauge shows maybe .5 bar idling and 2 when revving. Get an after market gauge for peace of mind. My 2c worth

Sorry, lost a line in the previous post somehow. The VDO gauge shows 5 bar hot and revving, 2 at idle, while the standard gauge shows 1-2 hot and revving and .5 at idle. Get an aftermarket gauge, IMO

im gettin around 30psi at hot idle and 50-60psi hot driving at speed. if that helps

how do you run an aftermarket oil presure guage aswell as the standard one. Don't you need to remove the standard sender unit inorder to install and aftermarket one?

mine reads around 2 and up a little when reving. TD42 430 000 kms

ive seen the sender units that screw onto your oil filter or something but yet i am looking at getting water temp and oil pressure guages for it..

how have you hooked these up?

there is a port on the exhaust side they use for when you put an aftermarket turbo on you can use that for an aftermarket or put a t peice in where the factory sender is

i have a 't' piece in the standard oil pressure switch spot. autometer gauge goes in one side, stock oil pressure switch n the other.
