What Should My Oil Pressure Be?

[matt98eclipse]

Hey guys i have a few things wrong with my car and cant seem to figure out whats wrong! On my datalogger i have been getting alot of knock even when i free rev it. Car smokes blue none stop warm or could. And today i installed a after market oil pressure gauge and notices i have extremely high oil pressure!!

The only thing i could think that would cause my high oil pressure is when i installed my 16g the oil return line it came with was a bit smaller then the factory one.

What do you guys thinks wrong?

what exactly are your oil pressure readings looking like?

 

[matt98eclipse]

WOT-a little above 100psi
Cruising-around 60
Idle-about 25/30

idle is good
cruise should be 40 - 50 area
wot 80 area
IMO...

do a search on porting the oil filter housing, but may just need a little cleaning..

What range should my oil pressure be at?
What is to high and what is to low?
and what is the TARGET range i want to keep my oil pressure at?


Heres my setup. (not sure what all is needed to calculate proper oil pressure)


7 Bolt Engine (fully rebuilt)

Balance Shafts Eliminated
JE Forged .20 Pistons (8.5:1)
Eagle Forged H-Beam Rods
Eagle Forged Crankshaft
ACL Race Rod & Main Bearings
Stock 7 Bolt Oil Squirters (new)


Everything else is stock for now.

The rule of thumb is 10psi per 1000rpm when the oil is at operating temp. This will be after ~30 minutes of driving since it doesn't get to temp as quickly as the cooling system.

 

[Rabbi]

so at 3000RPM the oil pressure should only be at 30PSI?

i dont know iif this is right but it is what my oil pressure gauge reads. so you can compare.
cruizing 2500-3500 around 50 maybe a little less.
then i hit the gas and it goes up almost the same as my tach.
red line is like 100 psi..
any way thats how mine is
good luck

This is mine but this is on a 6 bolt

Idle=25
Cruising around 2500-3500= around 50
WOT= 100 if not a little higher!

What would all cause hi oil pressure? Im still haveing this issue.
