hey guy's

got my r32 gts-t rb20det for four months now

but i have a problem at least i think

my stock oil pressure gauge is busted know problem

so i have a aftermarket oil pressure gauge

when its cold he is running around 5kg max

when the oil temp is at 60

on idle he is running at 1,5kg

when he is fully warmth up at 75 the oil pressure gauge says 0.5kg?

but when i am running at 3k rpm pressure is 3kg when im boosting around 4.5kg

engine running smooth no knock or what ever should get the oil change't with mutol 10/50

should i be scared?

Seems to be not much wrong at all with those numbers.

As the oil heats up, it gets thinner and doesn't need as much pressure to pump it around the engine. As the engine revs, it pumps more oil in a given time, and produces more pressure (resistance to flow).

And you shouldn't use anything much heavier than 10/40 oil.

i find it a bit odd lol

because the red light from the aftermarket gauge goes on when im not revving

every time when i am standing still for a cross-section or stopsign i always play with the engine to keep oil pressure up

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
