Whats the idle oil pressure, whatever it is set the warning to about 0.1 bar below, so if ots 2.6 bar set to 2.5, 2 bar set to 1.9. that stops the beeper going off all the time at idle.

120 is a "good" level for oil, I set boost to just under my peak but suggest you set to 0.1 over and then you'll know when you overboost.

Thanks for the Reply guy's

Bob
Have just let the car idle When Cold, The oil pressure is reading between 6.0 & 7.0 (x100kpa) Or do i need to let it warm up then check the idle pressure ?

Have set the Oil Temp to 120oc

My peak boost reading on the s.e.c.s. Monitor is 1.37Bar But seems to hold about 1.20, 1.25 Bar Suggested setting ?

Sorry for the Q's But would like to get this set up Correctly, Had the Oil Temp buzzing all day Sat, Now know how to change

Thanks in advance again

Tiny if you set the oil to 6.0 (x100kpa) it will be going off all the time I think mine is set to 2.8 x100kpa ( just bellow walm idle)

my secs says peak boost is 1.37 but think thats a bit of over boost when watching the gauges Im sure it goes to around 1.3 but Im sure Bob will be able to tell you if this is right . I have it set at 1.30 + a notch and it only really sounds on cold nights or when putting your foot flat to the floor in forth, doing say 2k revs to 5k

I had an MY01 WRX before my JDM STi.

Bob mapped it (TEK3) to 1.28 bar on a fairly warm day on an accurate boost gauge.

The SECS read the ECU value as 1.39 bar. When the winter came round the gauge read a max of 1.3bar but the SECS showed 1.45
