okay i have just got done turboing my b18 CRX and something tells me im having a problem with oil pressure...cause it seems really low. at idle its like down to 20psi but shoots up like normal when i take off...ideas anyone??? if anyone knows what the normal idle pressure should be then let me know and maybe any problems that you might think i might have...i also have this loud squeeling sound (kinda like rusted or worn out brakes...but louder) but its only when im actually going...does that have anything to do with the turbo??? cause i was thinking maybe it might just be my tranny cause i know its really low on gear oil cause i didnt get to fill it after i slapped it back on...let me know what you think...thanx

 

10psi is the lowest it should be at idle, and 50psi @3k. Mines wont go any farther then 50

 

that pressure sounds normal to me, my b16 runs about the same at idle.

 

I have my sensor mounted in my Turbo Feed line....

ZC engine

-I have about 9psi at idle(fully warm)
-about 55psi at startup(cold warm up)
-and about 50 psi past 2500RPM

Mine also won't go above 55 though.

 

how long have u been running the car with that pressure, also what gauge do u have?

 

Have been running it like that daily for over 8 months.

It is the turbo it self that is giving me the wacky readings

It is a Electical AutoMeter
