I installed my Gauge today and it always shows 50 psi reguardless if I am iddling or at WOT. I know that we have an intank pressure regulator, but I think that I heard from some other members that there gauges actually read 100psi under WOT.
Any thoughts on this?

 

dont really know much about the psi except that i believe the stock setting is suppose to be at 40 psi if i remember right. but that was for a k20 swap into a EK civic. this info probly wont do much, but im pretty sure under WOT you should get i higher PSI reading cuz you should be pumping in more fuel per second.

Do you have any programming done??? cuz if you do your fuel map may be off and that could be a possible route to look at.

 

My gauge usually reads 51, and doesn't move, whether it be partial or wot. Now the oil pressure on the other hand...moves all of the time!

 

Ideal pressure while idling is 47-53 PSI. Straight out of an RSX service manual.

Doesnt say anything about WOT pressure. But i think as long as it doesnt drop while under WOT then you should be Ok because the puel pump IS keeping up

 

fuel pressure should not move. if it start dropping, then....either u need a bigger fuel pump because yer running 300+ hp. or ...something ain't right.

 

oh yea oil pressure is supposed to be 100psi.

I've never seen 100psi... 85 at wot, yes, but not 100.

 

it should be around 50psi at all times. It doesnt use a rising rate regulator like return system Hondas.

 

let me check the helms on oil pressure. i thought i remembered reading 100psi

 

well helms only mentions min oil pressure at idle and 3000rpm. doesn't mention a max.

ppl were reporting anything from 80-a tad over 100psi at redline WOT.
