    1gb not revving or idling properly

    I once had an issue of my car running, but not revving past about 2500RPM. Turned out that I forgot to plug in the TPS.As others have suggested, always check mechanical timing and ignition timing to ensure they are at base settings.

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    That's good info. I do in fact run the Wix 51381 filter as well. I get them at a local O'Rielly store. I have always used the larger filter, as in my mind, it has more filter surface area. I had no idea about the gasket or the opening pressure. This might be something to look into in the future.

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    I did try a mechanical gauge at one time, but I got similar readings as the electrical gauge. I was using a cheap gauge, so I didn't trust it nearly as much, but I used it to try and confirm my readings. I may try again at some point, but I'm satisfied with what I'm seeing now. I will likely...

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    My oil temp gauge does not show 140, its lowest reading, when I collected this data. My coolant temps are around 200. My oil temp sensor is located in the port leading out to the oil cooler. My cooler is a larger than OEM unit. My oil pressure sensor was relocated from the above pic and swapped...

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    I installed a new sensor. I'm still not happy with the number I'm seeing at idle, but it never goes below 10psi when warm. I haven't gotten the oil temps up to even read on my gauge (140*), but I'm not seeing any odd numbers either. Cold idle pressure was much higher in the 85psi+ range and...

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    Curiouser and curiouser. Before taking the car out to test things again, I went ahead and swapped the oil feed line to the sensor with the one to the turbo. (Opposite of this pic. Ignore the third sensor. That's an oil temp sensor in the outlet to the oil cooler)While driving and the car was...

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    Lots of info to respond to, but here it goes.I put a shim inside of the pressure relief valve "cap". I was attempting to increase pressure, not reduce it by adding a thicker crush washer. My EVO3 had a 1mm crush washer while the 2G unit had a 1.24mm unit. I stayed with the 1mm unit to keep...

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    This where I stand now: I measured both my EVO3 and 2G oil pressure valves and all of the parts. There are small, but measurable differences between them. In some cases almost 1mm. The crush washer itself was .24mm different. I looked back at Jafro's numbers and mine aren't quite the same. This...

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    I just looked at my stock 2G unit, and the plunger is more obscured than this pic of the EVO3 unit. I can't find any pics of it without porting, so I can't confirm how much was taken off. Looking at others' pics, it doesn't seem like I went any further than anyone else. I'll try a shim to see...

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    That was my thinking as well. It would be pretty easy to "shim" the spring and preload it so it takes more pressure to open it. So if the issue is the pressure relief valve, then the preload would increase idle pressure. (low flow pressure) At least that's my understanding. I'll have to look...

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    I pulled the pressure relief valve. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Measurements to a stock 2G unit seem the same.I did port the EVO3 unit, but I only went wider, not longer. I don't think this would affect idle pressure much, but by going wider it should reduce pressure at all RPMs. I...

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    I wasn't aware this was an issue. It seems to only affect warm idle pressure. Does the thermostat have anything to do with this? I'll have to dig around to see what info I can find on the relief valve unless someone has good info handy.

    Resolved Another "Won't Stay Running"

    This is a 2G 7 bolt with a 1G head and CAS. The trigger plate is facing the correct direction. The issue has been resolved, but I still don't like how the timing marks are off with the Fluidampr. I might swap on a stock unit just to see if the marks are the same.

    Low Oil Pressure at Idle

    The BSE has been on the car since it was "new". I did a basic rebuild before putting it in the car. It now has about 23k miles. The low oil pressure showed up about 2 years ago.Yes, the turbo oil feed. I was going to check that too. Obviously it's difficult checking on a hot engine, but I...

    Resolved Another "Won't Stay Running"

    I get that there might be some differences in deck height, but the belt itself should compensate for variations. The crank mark on the block lines up fine, it's the pulley mark that seems off.
