how much oil pressure reading should i get on regular idle and much should i get at 5,500 rpm?

it varies. on a cold start it can be pretty high. on a warm start it can be much lower. search the archives and you will find a general idea of what most people see. mine varies on a day to day basis.

 

Using an OEM filter (bigger style), 20-25psi at idle, and ~70 cruising above 4000.

Pressure can change +/- 10psi by just having a different sized filter.

 

and oil lines for turbos, and restrictors, and gauges, and sandwich adapters lol as far as numbers go, as long as its not Extremely LOW I wouldnt be too concerned.

Ill monitor mine next time I drive the R and post up the numbers

 

Mine maxes out at 85psi (6kg/cm) when the pressure release valve opens and it drops to approx 78psi (5.5kg/cm) At idle it sits steadily at approx 2.0kg/cm

 

I'm using the oem integra filter and my pressures varies with different temperatures

at about 180F my idle pressure is around 15-20psi and 50psi @ 3000rpm
at about 220F my idle pressure is around 10-15psi and 45psi @ 3000rpm

I'm gonna switch over to a RSX filter and see how much my pressure goes up by at different oil temps and rpm on my next oil change
