Do a google search for ECU pin outs on an WRX it will list the sender unit on the ecu, that is where I taped for my air/fuel when I have that one in the car.

all you need if its an electronic gauge is power and ground

no man hes asking hows he hooks up an oil pressure sending unit...hence not factory. why would anyone want anything to do with the shitty factory sensor. By the time that oil light comes on your dash your motor is already fucked

Ideally you would want a gauge that alerts you when the pressure drops >10... However, generally with an oil pressure failure thats pump related there is no time to prevent damage before its to late.

I have a STRI 60mm eletronic with warning light gauge. I think my sending units fucked up right now cause at cold starts i get 40psi and it like to drop to 6-0 psi after warmed up at redlights.

maybe its almost time for a new built motor

Just looked into their gauges, they don't look bad.

I'm looking for a in cabin FPR gauge, however i'd like an audible alarm on it, anyone know if they exist in 52mm imperial?
