How are my numbers?
I finally got my new oil pump installed, and have been driving around on my car since yesterday. My idle oil pressure is between 15-20 psi, and just driving around it is between 50-60 psi (depending on rpms) while driving. My vtec is kicking strongly again, i.e. not in-and-out like it was with the old pump.
I have seen some other numbers when I searched, but I wanted to get opinions on what my numbers are. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Those are pretty high numbers.

Thanks! It didn't take me too long to put it back together, just a bitch to keep the cams and crank timed when putting the belt back on.

What oil pressure gauge are you using? Every car that i have worked on (honda) with an oil pressure gauge never sees over 60 crusing and is always 10-20 at idle. Only time i could see 80 would be revving high. What is your reading when your in high RPM?

Re: How are my numbers? (Luserkid)
Being that I am using a manual oil press. gauge, is it normal that it takes a couple seconds for the gauge to read correctly? I would think so, but just want to make sure. I know that in my truck, pressure reads almost instantaneously from about 55 psi cruising to about 70 at WOT (on an electric oil press. guage of course).
