Ok I took her out one more time befor i called it a night.At idle (warm)its pegged at 26psi and I idle at 950rpm now at 2000to 6000rpm im at 75psi but it never gets above 100psi or 85psi for that matter.So i think im gunna try a heaver oil to see if i can lower it alitle more but it seams like the car has more kick for some reason maby just in my head.

Ok so I know now that I can no longer run my oil feed line for the 16g of the oil filter housing due to the higher oil presure.Now I have to get a feed line so I can run it from the head but im still worred about if the pressure being to high but my good friend at PINA is helping me out so ill figure it out.

People run too high of oil pressure to turbos all the time after rebuilds and wonder why the turbo is failing. I would never install a turbo without a flow orifice, new engine or old. It's a 5 dollars safty item. I actually have a second electric oil pressure gauge that is getting plumed in before the turbo during the off season on the Evo. I am very cautious of oil pressures since the car is almost at redline for a half hour at a time.
Very nice build by the way. I hope to see you out at meets or the track.

Ok did a few runs and way too high of oil pressure now with the thicker oil. I think i'm going to put back in the 10w30. The oil pressure felt better there. I fixed the water leak on the turbo, and now with the wiper motor gone I think I want to hide a zex kit up there.

I need to sand it alittle in some areas and polish it. I got the font suspension almost tore apart for the new shocks and bushings. I'm going to powdercoat all the pieces. I also tore apart the calipers to have them powdercoated to.
