Oil pressure reading question
Currently installing a Greddy turbo kit on a 95 civic d16z. It has an electric oil pressure guage. Wondering what the safe oil pressure range is on about 5-8 psi of boost. Thanks for any help.

I guess it is more for peace of mind to know where everybody else's is at. I don't know how I would go about changing it....I was just curious.

If it's low, he might want to replace the oil pump.
The pump is driven directly by the crank - by about 3000 RPM a good pump should reach 80 psi, then the relief will open.
