Oil Pressure Gauge

jpit · 03-16-2010, 03:48 PM

For those of you thinking of adding an oil pressure gauge, I would recommend a gauge that goes up to 145 psi. I just added a gauge and the oil pressure(when cold) can go up to 110 psi. Even when the oil warms up I have seen 100 psi when accelerating quickly. Most of the time the pressure is between 40-60 psi.

Wow that's a lotta PSI lol. Guess 40/80 isn't the norm with the pump we roll with heh.

That may explain why some have had problems with their oil cooler lines...
