Duratec oil pressure sender

[boss351]

The pressure gauge on my RS170 looks like a gauge version of an idiot/warning light, either 0 or x psi, nothing in between. Is it likely that the sender on the crate engine is for an idiot light and the gauge could actually be fed with a proper rising signal for pressure?

 

Anyone taken a look at this on the Duratec's?? Do the Zetec cars have the same crappy oil pressure gauge indications too?

 

Cheers,

Discussions regarding the crappy Caterham oil pressure gauge/sender are numerous, both here and on blatchat. Replacement with a mechanical gauge is the most common route. For example:

Thanks Brad, that seems to be the way to go for sure. I did that on my old Mustang many years back (The Boss 351).
