Hi Peeps,
I have noticed that if I accelerate my S15. The oil light will come on after a certain boost pressure. I do not know if it is a certain rev range or a certain bar pressure that instigates the oil light to come on. Car has been de-mapped to 1.1 bar (not sure what that works out as in BHP) as it was pushing 380 bhp from its original JDM state. Any way the car can technically push more than what it does before the oil light comes on (under a Bar). Worried the engine is starved of oil or the sump simply runs low due to the stress. So as soon as light comes on I have started using this as an indicator to change gear now. Call me paranoid.
Can any one explain, help, or suggest a modification to help me understand.
Thanks
Jack
