Default ***89 PSI ToO much Oil Pressure???***

OK i just installed my blox oil temp and oil pressure gauge.
I have a b16a with 9-1 compression and eagle rods and i'm running Mobil 1 10-W-30, under normal drving it sits around 60psi then once its alittle harder than normal driving it jumps to 75-80 and then when i'm boosting alittle bit like 3/4 because its not fully tuned it jumps to 89Psi is that to much?

Also my oil temp is around 210 F and then sometimes 225 on a decently hot day

Thanx for the help guys going to get it tuned in 8 days just want to make sure nothing breaks thanx

Pressure is perfect, temps could be a hair lower but nothing to worry about.

What type of turbo do you have BB or journal?

Yea, make sure your turbo has a built in restrictor. If not you need to get one from someone like atp-turbo.com

Also it is a good idea to run an inline oil filter. I got one from summit. I made a thread not long ago and someone pointed out the one I ended up getting.

is the filter media reusable? have you noticed it picking up anything?

89 psi isn't bad at all.

Under WOT my friend's gsx gets to like 100, its funny watching it peg at the end of the gauge

just FYI, tuning has nothn to do with oil pressure... its good, or its bad...

89 is fine... id put a restrictor on it though to save the turbo

Pretty dam sure (99.5%) it has one built in. You do not need to add another on.
