Just got my new motor put in and tuned. Now my oil pressure gauge (mechanical) shows what looks to be fairly low oil pressure. I am at 5psi at warm idle and at 3000rpms I am at 36psi. This seems a little low to me. At 6000rpms it is at 65psi which to my knowledge is plenty. Can anyone comfirm what the helms says for warm idle and 3krpms pressure? My oil feed line is a little larger than my old one I picked up from http://www.fast-turbo.com and was wondering if a larger feed line would lower pressure at all. BTW this is a fully built b16 by JG with only 100 miles on it and a brand new oil pump. Could it be my bearings and the way they built the motor?

 

you should be at 5-10psi on a hot idle and on an ls at wot maybe 50-60

 

do you have an ls?

 

I have a fully built b16 for boost.
