yah another oil pressure ?
i have about 400 miles on the new build
d16z6 with a toga hv oil pump
at startup i have pretty hihg oil pressure.. once the car warms up 190-200ish
it gets low..
at idle its like 10-15 give or take
and at wot 65-70
when its starting to warm up i have 80psi all day long but once i get to 180 deg it just gets low..
is this cause maybe my bearing clearences are big?? or what im running 10W30 cheap **** to break it in.. tuning this sat gonna put some Amsoil in it what weight shoudl i run to help my pressure>? and is my pressure ok?

Re: (stinker504)
i know it isnt a gm, but the general says 10psi for every 1000 rpms, so idle at 750, 7psi is considered normal. are you running race bearings? where the clearances? thou? thou and a half? 2thou? the looser the lower.

Re: (THEDirtyDseriesWOOT)
It depends on how hot it gets there in the summer. You will want a thicker oil if it gets hot and a thinner oil when its cold outside. You could go with a 10w-40 or a 20-50. If you go with the heavier oil and it gets cold outside make sure you let the car run and idle for a while before you go smash on it....
