Depends on the running temperature. When I first turn my car on, it hits about 80 psi. After fully warm, it drops to a minimum of 12 psi. That is with my B18C1.

while driving, mine is at about 80 and when at idle, about 18. I think max would be be at about 85.

Wow, I put a brand new pump on mine and I think the most I hit is like 55 or 60. :thinking:

It may just be my shitty Autometer guage....

I did replace my rings this weekend and now the pressure at idle when cold is about 40 psi and the pressure at idle when hot around 10 psi. I don't think this is right. Maybe I jerked the oil line to the gauge when I was down there.
