my friend has a 95 eg with an ls vtech swap. the problem he told me he is having is with the oil pressure. when th car starts up he oil pressure idles at 80psi on the gauge. after warming up 60 till driven where when driving it is at about 80 psi and idle is at like 25psi. is this weird?

 

Oil pump, Spun bearing, or broken piston ring land.

drop the oil pan and look on the screen of the oil pick up. You can tell if its the bearing or oil pump by what type of metal is on the screen. If no metal then its more then likey the a ring land

 

i think the problem keeps blowing the oil pan gasket out.

if its the oil pump how much does that run to get replaced and also the car runs good no knocking pinging or any noises doesnt blow smoke or anything.

this isnt first hand so it all the info i got so far

Doesnt blow smoke then its not the ring lands

Just because it doesnt make noise doesnt mean that the oil passage on the bearing isnt blocked or spun.

like I said before.. Drop the pan and pull the oil pick up off. There all 10mm bolts and take 10min to do. Its well woth it.

 

thanks alot man im gonna check it out.

 

On my b20vtec when I first start the my gauge reads 75psi at idle. When its fully warm its 25psi at idle and 75psi full throttle.
