Results £15 sender
Discussion
Just fitted the £15 oil pressure sender ,it sits at 80psi on idle ,I`m wondering if it`s ok to leave it at that .
Would it worn me if the pressure dropped .
A Universal 1/8" NPT oil pressure sensor, pressure range from 0 to 7 BAR (0 to 100 PSI), resistance for this sensor is 33 - 240 Ohms.

Thats great oil pressure, you should be able to happily rev the engine to 8000rpm now! Might make 400bhp if you get it on a RR... That sender must be the best bang for your buck we've seen for a long a time.
Normal senders must really take a lot of oiling to reduce the pressure so much!

Never
Mine still follows a decent external gauge, the sender you bought is definitely different.
Not to mention wrong, I recommend getting your oil pressure checked with a decent professional quality external gauge.
At least this way you'll know what genuine figures you have, & what you're looking for from a sender.
If you want to manipulate the output of your current sender so it follows your true pressures you could always get in touch with Spiyda Design.

I wonder if this amount of oil pressure helps spin the crank in any way increasing power output?Normal senders must really take a lot of oiling to reduce the pressure so much!
That knocks that one on the head! I'll stick with the one that Dave recommended. 60-65lbs when cold, 55lbs-ish when hot and running, 45lbs when idle and driving under 2000-2500 rpm. The only other ones are the original TVR types that used to be on the classifieds, although I think he's sold out now.
If you were getting standard readings on a standard sender, then you know that your current readings are incorrect.

Yes I`m getting standard readings but it leaks .If you were getting standard readings on a standard sender, then you know that your current readings are incorrect.
Could it fit a resister to offset a bit ..

Do you guys have modified pumps or pressure regulators- I think thats far too high for an RV8 (??)If you were getting standard readings on a standard sender, then you know that your current readings are incorrect.

I`m wondering if 33 - 240 Ohms is incorrect ..Chimongas may of been sniffing again .
if it`s reading 80 and should be 60 the ohms must be wrong .
A bit rude there Daz...if it`s reading 80 and should be 60 the ohms must be wrong .
33-240 ohms sounds a pretty standard sender ... the chances are more likely that your sender is sending incorrectly or that maybe you have a different series of gauges (for example mine are the early Black Rimmed ETB ones) which use different senders.

It was only having joke ! mine are the later gauges ,do i have the wrong ohms 33-24033-240 ohms sounds a pretty standard sender ... the chances are more likely that your sender is sending incorrectly or that maybe you have a different series of gauges (for example mine are the early Black Rimmed ETB ones) which use different senders.

People seem to have a good joke on me !

Let me check, because I received a different one of Ebay and it didn't register at all when I put it in. I'll have a look later/ tomorrow and see that the resistance value of it is.if it`s reading 80 and should be 60 the ohms must be wrong .

Are they wwagging me Bigus?
Taking the p
s again !
I only wanted to know what the ohms range is on the OE sender.
Oh, I assumed it was a bit of banter between you boys, however judging by your response that was not the case.Taking the p

If I had thought it was anything other than fun I wouldn't have quoted them.
Sorry bout that.
