Pressures/Temps?
Hi. Not a paranoid question but a curious one.
What sort of oil temp/press's should i be having?
Onced its warmed up oil temp rises to 210f from 180f/190f normal driving. Pressure is 75 psi once warmed up and dips to around 40psi when on idle-(when engine is hot).
Water temp's seem to average around 90c. Goes up to mid 90's when driven hard and 87ish when taking it easy.
Are these all normal? (still running with std tmic.)
Car is a v6 type r, 2.5, 3"decat +H&S pipes, d/v, Apexi ecu, vf23hybrid.
Cheers,
Doug.

Had some gauges in for about a week - similar values too...
Have not noticed my oil temp get up to 210f yet, normally about 190-200f max.
Oil pressure, once up to temp, is about 80psi when cruising and 40psi at idle so almost exactly the same. However when cold it's almost off the gauge, up to 90 or 95psi I think, but pretty sure this is still ok.

Yeah, you should let her warm up to around 180f before any serious driving. Should notice that press. drops to around 75psi at the same time. Just a case of letting the oil warm up to thin down and cover all those luvly internals!

I can imagine it would take some serious track work to get it up that high!
Thankfully I've not seen much over 200f so far
