i had a oil light yesterday so i installed a 2000- gsr oil pump on my 2000-b16 and the oil pressure gauve hoovers around 20psi at idle , when i drive at high rpm around 7grand its at 75-80psi. i know this is not normal or good for my oil seals in the turbo. is there anyway i could lower my oil pressure or would this problem just be a faulty gauge???? i have a sun pro 0-100psi oil gauge.

 

that oil pressure seems pretty normal, perhaps a little low idle pressure, but i dont know the specs!

 

i thought 15 psi at idle was normal and 65-70 psi at high rpm but if my readings are normal then im good.

 

idle mabye little high.. what type of oil is it btw. and do you have the pressure at all times, does it go down after some driving?

 

its 10-30 weight oil and yea the pressure is like that after driving as well. stock b16a2 type r cams 00gsr oil pump

 

Same pressure on idle and throttle as mine...and im running a stock GSR motor.

But then again my oil level is a bit above the high mark...so check your oil levels too. That may contribute to a 20ish psi at idle (assuming 15 psi is normal).

 

thats normal oil pressure reading dont worry about it.. what - line are oyu running to the turbo is it -3 or -4

When Vtec comes on it should hit about 75 to 80 psi.

i believe its a -4

 

i would run -3 instead as well too much oil to the turbo is bad thing
