OEM oil pressure sensor pinout on AEM

Thread Starter
Are you referring to the relocation block on the engine or the filter adapter that you pull your turbo oil from? I supply my turbo its oil from the relocation block on the engine. As for the oil pressure being read from there, I'm not too sure it would be an accurate reading area, but yeah, you can use that spot for a sensor.

Just odered the 100 psi per Kev recommendation.
What is the proper oil pressure for the S2000? is it different when boosted?
Does it ever go beyond 100psi?
wouldn't 100 psi offer better resolution?

100psi is fine for the oil pressure sensor. The factory is a pressure switch, not a sensor, as has been said. You can not use a 5v pressure sensor and also have it control the light on the cluster. I would recommend using a vacuum distribution block for the oil system so there's no cluster#### of Tees and what not. Keep the factory switch there, they almost never fail and the reality is a warning light on the dash will be the first thing you notice if you lose oil pressure.

My concern is, if you pull the stock dumby light sensor, it wont be able to read anything and will set the oil pressure light off.
Unfortunately it will remain off if you lose oil pressure as well.

Old thread, but here is your fix for the dash issue when replacing the OEM on/off dummy sensor with a real oil pressure sensor as I just went through this myself.
1) remove the OEM on/off oil pressure sensor & replace it with your "real" oil pressure sensor of choice.
2) Wire the new sensor up to one of the spare inputs on the AEM EMS as stated above.
3) Connect the wire that conected to the original OEM on/off oil pressure sensor to one of the spare switched outputs on the AEM EMS
4) Enable the switched output on the EMS that is now connected to the OEM oil pressure "sensor" wire to open/close the circuit (turning the oil pressure idiot light on the dash on and off) based on the oil preasure reading that your new sensor provides.
5) Smile & drink a beer :-D
Best part is you can now set the dash oil light to turn on/off at whatever oil pressure you like, as oppose to whatever the OEM oil switch is calibrated to.

Thanks for the info.
