based on the service manual its in spec.

 

sounds fine...but a little on the low side. my old b18b with 125k miles was 20-25/75-80psi

could be because the sender hack?

 

my sender is messed up, and i think the lower reading are scewed

 

yeah you should be fine.

i had a funky T setup for my oil pressure gauge and oil feed line for the turbo so that the sender wouldnt put weight on the T fitting off the block.

the downside was that it seeped oil over time.

 

your oil pressure is perfect!

excellent cold start pressure due due to the clearances that were chosen and the weight of oil being ran. Idle pressure is good but will probably go down a little after it ends up settling in around 750rpm idle once tuned properly.

good job & glad to see you drove it again!

 

im running castrol 5w-30 right now then i will switch to Mobil 1 syn 5w-30 later. I think im going to cut the filter open today and look at it today. Im still getting a CEL. I have to check it out and find out what it is. As soon as i turn the car off its clears. Im thinking it will deal with my O2 sensor.

 

yea figure out what code that is soon!

 

Well i just cut the oil filter. And the good news is NO METAL. I will try and get the code tonight.

 

Well the code is a 1. I went in and disabled the heater circuit to see if that will help.

 

yay no metal
