Can anyone help ???

I got a r33 gtst and the oil pressure never goes under the second line (before the 4) but my friends RB25DE r33 goes all the way down to close to 0 when its idle.

The car makes a weird sound when its at idle (she calls it the gremlens) but its like a howling sound. Could that mean the oil pump is stuffed?

as soon as you raise the revs by at least 300rpm the sound goes away and oil pressure goes back to normal levels. (just before the 4 or abouts)

When driving its fine......

Whats up with the beast ? does it really matter to have close to 0 oil pressure on idle ?? The engine is NON turbo...

When I put 5w-50 fully synthetic oil in my car I had the same problem. I then put some 10w-50 in and the problem went away. My conclusion was that the oil was way to thin for the engine.

This may have something to do with the problem your friend is experiencing.

I thought it was 7.5W-30 factory recommended. I'm using 5W-30 and don't have any oil pressure problems. I actually slightly over-filled it and I was waiting for some of it to burn off but it's not happening.

As far as i know on a proper idle from factory specs when the car is at optimal operating temps it meant to sit on number 1, 1.5...

I been using 5-40w oils the pressure is exactly the same as in facotry specs, i tried a more expensive oil 10w-60w abit high but oh well though i tried it, the oil pressure was sitting at like 3-4 nearly double, it was too thick, very high tech engines and the oil aslo dosent get around everywhere it supposed to be. Probably wouldnt go over 10-50w maybe 10-40w would be perfect.

the stock gauges / senders read low, regardless of what oil you use (i have tried many viscosities) when warm. I have an aftermarket Trust oil press gauge and when i'm revving it the stock gauge reads just over 4, but the trust one is at about 6-7. Don't worry too much, @ idle the stock reads about 1, the Trust one at 1.5. :D

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
