autometer oil pressure gauge

idle- 25

crusing with really light throttle (in low rpms 2000-3000)-45

crusing with a little more throtthle (in low to mid rpm's 3000-4500)-60

75% (4000-5500)- 65

throttle position doesn't make a difference for oil pressure. It's rpm dependant, because the pump is spun by the crankshaft.

Idle should be about 20psi and 3000rpm's should be about 60. Around 70-75psi when VTEC is engaged. . .

It would help if you told us the block, because VTEC pumps have a higher pressure. . .

I was told that at idle around 8-15 lbs. More importantly, you should have 60 lbs by 3k RPM. High oil pressure isn't a bad thing, as long as levels (cap.) are right etc. This is what I go by, anybody else?

generally you want 10psi for every 1000rpm

PM-Performance

mine didnt go high. pressure was like 10-15 at idle and 50maybe 60 tops under hard load

fjt

At start up cold--&gt;80-82PSI
Warmed up----&gt; 20-22psi

After a few heat cylcles or being running for some time it stays between 10-15 at iddle (iddle at 8-900rpm)

mrbsponge

you should have roughly 15 psi for every 1000 rpms until pump maxes out of course

my idle is 7-800 and its only 60-65psi at max

so my #'s are ok?

b16h22a

yea that is plenty also the weight of the oil will effect the pressure

im running mobil1 syn. 10w30

Blaze45

Im at like 85-90 @ WOT on my stock B20... is that to high? Im worried Ill blow the seals on my turbo once Im boosted...

Anyone have an idea?

Run a restrictor on your feed line, run smaller line

leadfoot78

80psi on start up, 25psi on warm idle, 80psi by 3k, 85psi max. I'm using regular Castrol GTX 10W30. I'm also using a .080 restrictor and a -4AN line, no blown seals and now leaks at all.

W O T

Im gonna run a 3an line and the end of my fitting for my feed is narrow as ****, maybe 1/8" inner diameter

Blaze45

How much pressure does the turbo need? I wouldnt think more then 50 psi or so would it?

W O T

I turbo would be plenty happy with 10psi, Id say 50psi would hurt it, thats why I thought most oil line kits are 3an line..... I dunno, I know they dont need much though

leadfoot78

oops, u are right i have a -3AN line, my mistake

Rod.

start up 75psi

warm up 30 psi
then a few mins later in idle it drops down to 10psi

hard driving 60-65psi

Does that sound kind of normal

Gsr_Hybrid_theory

if it makes u feel any better... in an 04 nsx idle... the damn guage BARELY moves... and like 5k its like 30ish and at 8... meer 60-70 lol.

when i drove it out of the shop to gas it, i looked at the guage and freeked out... then was told "its normal for oil pressure to be minimal" i dont like that
