You can use same sensor ( maybe) if its a 5v sensor to log fuel pressure.This is a better use of a log
.
That entirely depends on your needs. For a street car, probably not. A gauge with a peak recall capability is usually enough, like AEM X-Series.

To clarify, your saying that I should log oil psi over fuel psi?You can use same sensor ( maybe) if its a 5v sensor to log fuel pressure.This is a better use of a log
For something like oil pressure which is a lill more important to monitor live, with a gauge.
Oh sorry I just reread it and I gotcha now. Your saying that it wouldn't really make sense to log oil pressure because it should be constant and if you don't have it, then it you can't exactly run a log to begin with because you'll break the engine if it's not broken already.
100%
oil pressure is not constant by any stretch of the imagination, but keeping tabs is easy with a gauge. a peak-style/recall feature is handy to know your max when your eyes should be the road.
Sorry, I meant that it's not an adjustable thing like boost or fuel pressure. The range is constant, but maybe that's incorrect too.
Fuel pressure I feel does not need to be monitored all the time (just periodically checked) like air fuel ratio does. If I had 2 inputs and had to pick what to log, it would be boost and AFR. That is just me.
No, that's correct, it should be reproducible depending on oil temperature and is entirely RPM dependent much like fuel pressure is intake pressure/vacuum dependent. However, it's much easier to maintain a constant oil pressure to give enough time to view on a gauge. I figure that's what you meant
If two, same. Incorrect fuel pressure, while not providing an exact number, would at least present as an AFR inconsistency. Very "out of the ordinary" MAF compensation/VE requirements would also occur. Once you see that weirdness, one could swap to a fuel pressure sensor as an input temporarily to see if that's the underlying issue.I have owned DSMs for almost 30 years. I have never logged oil pressure, but I loved having a real time gauge. Crazy part is I used to run an analog one back in the day with the vinyl hose.
