Stock Oil pressure to Haltech?
Kinda noobish but I want to make sure. The stock oil pressure sensor only has one wire, (that I can see). So all I have to do is hook up one of the spare A/D to it? Or is there more to it? Thanks

You can also go to radioshack and make your own circuit. Its extremely easy. Look to use resistors that are in the middle of the or the most used resistance range of the sensor. I use 7805 regulator for the 12 to 5 volt conversion or use the 5 volt line from the Haltech. The link below shows how they get wired up. I'm using a 30 ohm resistor on my oil pressure sensor input.

Or spend $20 and get a three wire sending unit.

It is called a switch but if you call the parts store there are two types, one is for a guage and one for a light. I used a spare that came out of my 89 GMC S-15 4.3 v6 vin code Z, It is the correct part numberfor a 0v to 5V ranged output ... You may want to do better research before quoting people from now on.

I am using that sensor at my aeromotive fuel pressure regulator on the spare a/d input so I can plug in the fuel pressure maps that come with injector dynamics injectors. Each injector comes with a table containing voltage, dead time compensation, fuel pressure and actual compensated flow, they also handle a max duty cycle of 95%.

I used to work for Oreilly for 3 years, the masterpro is crap, seriously its ****. Fritts knows his stuff, if he posted something its to help you not to mock you. Don't let your 58 post, newbie self get so worked up, there are some people on this forum who will help you and not flame you. Relax and appreciate.
Cheers.

What matters here is that there are three wire pressure transducers out there that do not require "radio shack" modifications to install. There is the peace of mind knowing that your sensor is sending out an accurate signal with no guess work and you dont have to break the bank to accomplish it.
Personally I am using a Standard Motor Products PS-236 sending unit for fuel pressure, though I understand where Fritts is coming from, it will not work if you have a FD or crushed pressure regulator. There a sensors that range from 100 to 0 psi but I will have to look up which car used them. A C4 Corvette may be a good starting place.
And PS. JDM Drifter I am trying to help, ya jackass.

So sorry. Didn't know this wasn't a public forum. Thanks for setting me straight.
While I will apologize for my previous comment, I must compliment you for going above and beyond trying to out-do me. Seeing as I was merely stepping into make a statement and back up a very good friend of mine (Fritts), I think you took it a little further than what you should .
At any rate, again, my apologies for my comment. Good luck bud.

It is a bit more money but it would work Fritts, 150 psi AEM. Around 40 bucks for the sending unit and pigtail, not a bad deal.

I am interested in that Masterpro one....that would be a nice cheap alternative.
