no its not the gauge direction that changes, its the lighting. Like this http://www.mimousa.com/products/179_b.jpg nipper -
If this is all on a test stand, you dont need anything from the TCU to run. Fuel injection does not work well on gasous based fuels. If its alchol you will do better. The tranny interacts with the ECU to momentarilly reduce power during upshifts. The TCU takes alot of information from the ECU, but there is nothing neceassary from the TCU to run the engine. Just look at a manual nipper

Oil pump?
nipper replied to e4620's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
the oil pressure switch is set at a very low threshold. If for some reason you were getting 5 psi at 3000 rpm, that is not enough lubricant. The light would never come on. nipper -

Wow thats wierd. Usually when something like that fails its because an oil journal was blocked off by sealant. Usually the oil pumps are speced out before the engine is reassemebled. There isnt a lot to an oil pump, a couple of gear, a spring, a check ball, and a housing. If its a factory short block, its built by (forget who it is down south that makes diesels). I have been very happy with my short block. Also you have these rascally carbon units assemblying them, and they have been known to err. nipper -
