The book says oil pressure at 750 rpm for the 1st Gen Turbo is suppose to be 11 psi. Thats nice, but what is the WOT peak oil pressure? I'm not saying there is a limit or its bad if its over a certain amount, but what is the peak oil pressure the 4G63T motor usually makes? I ask because Garner is running 20 something at idle (but he has the balance shafts removed so that could be why). But when he gets on it, it goes to 100 psi right away and maxes out the gauge so it could be more. I want to make sure something isn't messed up and there isn't an oil passage clogged and making it run higher oil pressure. This would explain why the external oil cooler lines popped off and split open in the past.
WOT @ 6-7K rpm oil pressure anyone? -------------------- |

Very interesting topic. I'm sure my oil pressure is probably off the charts as well. When my motor was rebuilt the guy put a shim in the oil pump which gives it a little higher oil pressure. It doesn't get into the red on the stock gauge but it comes close when I'm driving when it's cold out.
