Oil Pressure Super High - Is This An Issue?

Hey,

Have been driving my 26/30 for nearly a year now, and there have never been any oil issues.

Just noticed this morning that even after warm up and the 30k drive to work, the pressure wont drop below 7kg/cm2. Usually starts up at 8 and then after warmed up drops down to 3-4 kg/cm2.

This engine has never been flogegd (redline set at 6800rpm), and is driving on a comfortable 10PSI. Car makes about 310 RWKW on 10PSI.

Just wondering if the oil pressure is genuinely high, will this cause any problems??

I have checked oil, plenty in sump.

negligible blow by from rocker covers. Also no excess in cam covers

Water temp is fine, and oil temps dont seem to be elevated when i check.

If this is an issue, where shold i be looking to fix it up.

Thanks in advance guys

What pump are you running?

The only real issue that could arise is your turbo seals if you havent restricted oil flow to it. If thats all good then dont worry, as the relief valve is inside the engine and too hard to get too to try and adjust. If that is even a problem, could just be your standard ops sender as stated above.

If you really want to be sure, tee in a oil pressure gauge and find out.

Running an N1 , and a GT3582, so when we built the engine, the appropriate restrictor was fitted to the oil feed.

This is a new problem, over the last week - however given taht i dont seem to be consuming any oil, i figure i may just wait until I rebuild the car in 6 months to race.

Thanks for teh help

high oil pressure is your friend - mine does exactly the same & recommended by my tuner & many others that know their stuff!

how else would you expect the oil to enter high tolerance areas such as bearings :ermm:

310rwkw @ 10 psi doesnt really add up

Sorry miss-typed should be 15PSI - Dyno graphs are posted in Hybrid section.

The whole point of the question was - given that my oil pressure has previously sat at 4-6 kg/cm2, was the fact that it is now at 7-8kg/cm2 indicative of a problem, or a faulty OPS.

Popular opinion is taht its not an issue and just a shot OPS.

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
