Oil pressure w/o balance shafts

[4wd-Eclipse]

What's the oil pressure readings during idle and cursing at 3k rpm on mechanical or electrical gauge when oil pump balance shaft removed

should be the same as stock. the Oil pump is not spinning any fast then before.

Thanx

that's not accurate. Flow does not create pressure, restrictions do. It should't decrease the oil pressure as long as you plugged the oil galleries feeding the balance shaft bearings.

I was reading a steady 2.0 bar on my six-bolt when the car warmed up without balance shafts.

I have no idea what it was stock.

Usually you will see an increase in oil pressure when the balance shaft is removed. I still have mine (although the belt is missing) so I can't give you any solid numbers, but a slight increase is normal.
