i have a turbod gsr.. i blew the oil pump few weeks back. car sounds like its fine its not loud at all.. the gauge will say 0 when ildeing then will reach25-40 psi when reving up..maybe a gauge sensor or a blown pump??

agrn93ls

honestly if it didnt do it before and you lost oil pressure and the engine stayed running you most likely damaged the lower end bearings now there is too much oil clearence to maintain pressure at idle.

Hondoctors

Do you still have the stock oil pressure sending unit in place? And if so, does the oil light come on at idle? During cold start, oil pressure should be up around 60 to 80 psi.

i would first try switchin to a mechanical gauge to make sure its not he gauge itself, you can get one cheap at advance auto, just use it once, you dont want a mechanical oil pressure gauge permenantly in the cabin.

If that reading matches your current gauge then agrn93ls is prolly right- your bearings are are damaged.

for reference i see 90psi cold start, 80psi WOT and 32psi idle...

32 psi idle is ALOT

I personally get about 50-60 on a cold start, when warm driving Im about 20-45 depending on throttle

But after a good highway run or atleast a long period of 10+ minutes of driving consistently and I come to a stop I will get 5-10, a few times having the oil light come on actually

I just switched to a thicker oil, SAE 30 and I get 10-15 on a HOT idle

well when i turn my car on IGN my oil psi read 10psi so i think the gauge is off by about 10psi lol. so i may be at 22psi idle.

I heard from earl [dont quote me]! You should see 50-70psi cruisin oh and its not throttle-dependent its rpm dependent. I think the max on our engines is seen at 4k rpms

oil light should NEVER come on!

you shouldnt be using sae 30 oil....
after doing 5 or 6 5th gear pulls to redline 8200rpm. my oil pressure at idle is still at 20-30psi. so you have something wrong/

cruising oil pressure should be 50-70 as turbotime said.

Those numbers seem disgustingly high to me

Ive never had a car with that high of oil pressure

Maybe its just becuase I run a non-vtec sohc and the pressure isnt necessary for VTEC etc

But Ive run about 6 motors now, and theyve all run like this

nothing wrong with high oil pressue as long as it doesnt blow seals out

komat

even a non vtec sohc or ls have the same oil pressure as a vtec...

i take it back

Check this out... now when my oil pressure driops it seems to burn oil out the tail pipe.. now you all can laugh. but i do run an xs turbo , im thinking that the thing is just pushing too much oil thur the turbo causeing oil pressure to drop... im gunna try pinching the line to the turbo see if theres any difference.. the car does have a brand new set of bearings pistons and rods...thanks for the replies!

SEEMS LIKE IT... I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEM IN THE PAST.. ITS THE SECOND ONE.. I DOUBT IT DIDNT HELP RUNNING A AIR LINE TO IT THE OTHER DAY WHEN TESTING IT(WHEN I BLEW THE PUMP ON THE DYNO)I JUST WANNA KNOW IF IT WOULD SMOKE EVEN IF IT WAS THE LOWER ENDS.. THANKS
