YO880 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hi Guys, I am having some custom gauges made up to suit an R33 RB26DETT engine, I want to get Yellow and Red permanent warning marks put on the gauges to match the style of the existing gauges. I am not quite sure where i would find this information, so putting it out there for the common consensus! What would be consistent Warning and Danger levels for the following sensors: Water Temperature (degrees Celsius) Oil Temperature (degrees Celsius) Oil Pressure (PSI) Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/440048-rb26-temp-and-pressure-warning-danger-levels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
YO880 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Nobody ? from general research i can't find any definitive answers, do the following sound safe? Water Temp - 90' Oil Temp - 115' or 130'? Oil pressure - this one seems hard to find, low pressure warning should be around 20PSI?

jay-rod Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 anything 110 or over for water is bad, obviously closer to the thermostat opening temp is best ( usually around 80-90)Oil temp, i would be worried when it gets around ~150Pressure im not sure of Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/440048-rb26-temp-and-pressure-warning-danger-levels/#findComment-7220388 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gts-t Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Didn't want to start a new thread. So I picked up one of the old school greddy electronic oil pressure gauges, it has a warning setting but I've got a feeling it's going to be for excessive oil pressure rather than low oil pressure. Meaning that if I set the warning for 1-2 bar it's going to have the light on whenever it's over that. Anyone know?

Ben C34 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 A warning would be for low oil pressure. That will kill your engine. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/440048-rb26-temp-and-pressure-warning-danger-levels/#findComment-7239438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gts-t Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yeah you would think so, it's just that I already have the boost and temp gauges from ten years ago and the way u set them is to move the needle to where u want the warning light to come on and if the guage reads over that, on comes the warning light. However if I set the gauge at say 1-2 bar( it reads to about 10 bar) then anything over 1-2 bar will see the light come on, which is the opposite to what I obviously want. I may just have to install it and see Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/440048-rb26-temp-and-pressure-warning-danger-levels/#findComment-7239487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C34 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The thing is over boost and temp is bad,so light on. Under oil pressure bad so light on.
