What Oil Pressure should I have on a 94WRX
Im going to fit an oil pressure gauge to keep an eye on things and couldnt find anything on the search to find out the actual normal readings for a 94WRX import. 
If anybody could advise plus an easy fitting gauge apart from defi would be helpfull

it varies slightly from engine to engine, the tighter they are the better pressure etc.
my 95 WRX,when HOT,
idles at 2 bar
cruises at 5 bar
COLD startup is 6 bar
Hot readings could be a little better,but its 13 yrs old,75k on it etc and prob been thrapped in japan !
hope that helps
some people have COLD startup at 7-8 Bar etc

Depends on the oil too. In these winter temperatures I had 7 bar cold startup on 15w50 Motul 300V, and now have 6 bar on 10w60 Millers CFS.
Hot idle is 2-and-a-bit, hot cruise is 6ish.
'98 STi4 with rebuild 10k miles ago.
