Is This Normal?

Well I know stock gauges are a bit hit and miss with accuracy and their range of scope,

Before I'm told yes I will get an aftermarket oil pressure gauge.

I have 2 videos, the first while driving a warm car and a cold night

The second is at home in my driveway after a 15 min drive so plenty warm

The gauge is reading low and up and down allot. Driving makes little difference unless I belt it.

Is this normal? Is my oil pump getting old? Oil to heavy, or thin maby?

Normal warm days it's usually fine between 4 and 8 but it has cought my eye being low randomly before. Never had a warning light. Plenty of oil in their, will do another filter and oil change but I guess my question is their something I should be concerned about above and beyond general oil maintenance or is the huge just being a stock gauge?

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.

      With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?

      This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
