I have a H22A. After I installed the oil pressure meter, I begin to worry my engine.
The meter shows below:
cool engine start - 6 kPa and goes down slowly when engine warm up
normal driving - 2~6 kPa
when idle - 1 kPa after few minutes driving

After 3-4 mins hard driving:
idle - 0.5 kPa

I worry the oil pressure is too low and the engine has something wrong.

Is there anyone can tell the H22A normal oil pressure is?

 

not to be a dick but convert your numbers,

kpa = gay

according to your given info using kilopascals

your oil pressure is

cool engine start 6 kPA - 0.870808 (below 1 psi)

normal driving 2-6 kPA - 0.290269 - 0.870808

Your oil pressure at idle should be near 35 psi , and around 65-75 under load. SO there is couple possible wrong things here.

1. Your reading the gauge wrong
2. You hooked up the gauge wrong
3. That **** is broke (the gauge)
4. Your engine should be a motlen chuknk of metal resulting form excess heat created from oil flow
5. YOU SMOKE ENTIRLEY TOO MUCH CRACK

your gauge read in kPa X100??????

recheck the provided info is your dash oil light on.? that goes on when there is 5 psi oi lress of oil pressure

 

Hi EK4,

Actually, there is no waring light from dash.

I am quite confusing coz fews ppl told me that H22A should have a lower oil pressure that the B18C, B16B and other VTEC engines. And there is no any strange noise and smoke from engine.

yeah i would tend to bank on the gauge then is your stock oil pressure sensor hooked up?
