oil pressure gauge noob question

[IV73CI]

Your incorrect IV73CI, i dont know where you pulled that minimum 30 psi figure from but different engines require different pressures. Op has a ep3r listed as his car under his avatar so would assume this is for a K20.

Minimum oil pressure test for K20a3, should be similar to Op's engine.

again ..these are manuals/guides.. for OE spec motor/oil.

use a different oil (not OEM honda oils), install a aftermarket cams, start porting the head, change pistons to a higher/lower CR, change your oil pump to a high flowing type then do an oil pressure reading ..i bet it aint OEM spec anymore

i dont doubt what the manufacturer/honda made their engines to have at OEM spec but once u start modifying then it will change. just like any other cars.

thats what im trying to say ...

Corolla GTi 4AGZE built in oil pressure gauge

which model was that? - pretty sure the AE92 GTi we are building at the moment doesnt have one?

i think the JDM model got a digital dash?

[trism]

Ae92 SX and GTi with the 4age had an oil pressure gauge in the dash.

When all else fails, consult Honda.

Real world figures oil pressure figures for B series for example. 25-30 psi at idle, 75-80 max psi. K series I would think very simular.

Thanks guy! The debate is great, i'm actually learning alot from it haha I guess i'll just have to see for myself what my car will read when I get to installing it once I bring the car for a general service

Real world Figures = Real life experiences..

Great response .. so others have actually experience the same readings as mine/similar.
