what oil pressure does the rb25det run at, at tickover and through the revs please if anyone knows?

I have f**ked my engine by having a blocked oil strainer, (don't ask, long story!) but at no time did the oil warning light come on. I am getting a replacement engine fitted and thought of fitting either a depo gauge with a settable alarm on it or a higher pressure oil switch like this

This is the cheapest option and at least the light would work then when there is still enough pressure to save big ends and main bearings etc. Or is the tickover lower than that?

I do not want to be caught out like that again. Some vehicles have the oil warning light fitted to a oil level switch which is totally useless in my opinion as you could have a full sump and no oil pressure!!

When I relocated the oil filter and installed the gauges I fitted an oil temperature and oil pressure gauge.

On start up it runs around 50/60 psi, when hot and running it drops to around 45 psi. At hot idle its about 20 psi.

Temperature is about 85 with normal driving. Given a real good push up the Mountain it can get to around 110.

Have always used Fully Syn Nulon 5W-40 with 80k addative

After fitting the F/F plenum I still get a gurgle from the back of the motor after a hard run, but if I let it run for a minute or so, stationary,

it does not gurgle. Have got an oil cooler to fit soon, but wanted to get some braided lines so it looks better.

Link sell an oil pressure sensor which when wired through the link will turn the engine off while oil pressure is below a given figure for the rev level. Sadly for you its not much use without the Link as the switch off point needs to be variable. If you set it to trigger an audible alarm below a certain figure that would probably be a pain at idle and on starting up.

I have got a depo oil pressure gauge and sender on the way, a bit starwars for my liking but it'll do what I want, will mount it in the centre top right air vent, already fitted r32gtr gauges below the aircon but they are boost, oil temp and volts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
