anyone in here have a jdm 7m? NEED HELP

[Insidious Surmiser]

did any of you have to change out the oil sender (brass bell shaped thing to the right of the oil filter) for the usdm one? someone said it needs to be done, but the wires plugged up fine, not to mention i can't even get it off of the usdm motor which is in pieces and outside of the car... :1zhelp:

i dont remember changing mine so i thing you're fine, but someone who knows for sure will chime in

I put the one off my old engine onto the new one. I bet the engine you got is an early 7M as I'm not sure that there were differences on the oil pressure sender design JDM vs USDM.

I just changed it because it looked different.

i had to change mine since the JDM one didnt work.

supposedly, since the JDM sensors read in a different calibration, the pressure reading would be incorrect, which is why i changed mine, too.

As shaeff stated, the jdm one reads in kg and the usdm reads in psi.

dammit... yah i started her up last night... it acted like it wanted to work for a bit (but was way off, obviously, then kept rising to like 90 psi, then to zero... this is w/ the car running, pluss my power steering pump is whining like hell, so i might as well get down there and replace both

mine did the same thing for a while until it killed the gauge

well, at least it ran for the first time in like 9.5 months... man, the fuel line for the cold start injector was TOAST the first time we cranked it... fuel was ghushing from that line :-/... now i've got that smoke from the turbo (i think it's the wrap) and the throttle body gasket is leaking... it's a wierd gasket, so i'm gonna get a rubber one w/ gasket sealer n put that on in a bit
