My oil pressure at Idle is as the Helm manual suggests. 10 psi at Idle and greater than 50 psi at 3000 rpm. Sometimes after the car has been working hard on the freeway, it will idle with 8 psi. Heat causes the decrease in pressure at idle. Oil cooler coming soon.

How do you convert Kg/mm to PSI? 1: 14.XX??

conversion to PSI (Pounds Per Square Inch)
To Convert From To Multiply By
KSI to PSI 1000
KG/M2 (Kilogram Per Sq. Meter) to PSI 0.00142234
KG/CM2 (Kilogram Per Sq. Centimeter) to PSI 14.2234
KG/MM2 (Kilogram Per Sq. Millimeter) to PSI 1422.340
KG/MM2 H Bar (Kilogram Per Sq. Millimeter Bar) to PSI 145.0383
Bars to PSI 14.5038
MPA (Mega Pascal) to PSI 145.0377
N/MM2 (Newton Per Sq. Millimeters) to PSI 145.0377


At idle, I'm usually around 1.0 kg/cm^2. After a hard run on a hot day, it's gone down as low as 0.5 or around 0.8. Pretty low, it scares me. I hope it's just the heat and that an oil cooler will help. 1 kg/cm^2 = 14.2234 PSI (so half of that would be about 7.1 psi).
