Oil pressure??
I’ve installed some Prosport gauges today and just wanted to know, is it normal for the oil pressure to be over 100 psi (gauged maxed out) on start up?

Yes, as long as it drops to around 85(ish) when the oils warm and thinner. even this depends on the type of oil used.
Mine was something similar on a cold start.

I saw 10 bar on my old Blitz gauges and immediately took it to Enginetuner. They found a stuck valve (something like oil release valve) causing the high pressure.
Most of the time mine runs around 8 bar cold, 5-6 bar warm and 3 bar at idle.

Got me thinking going to have to watch it now.
I'm paranoid enough about it having spent rather alot rebuilding it now i'm going to be like morgan freeman on acid watching a horror movie..

Ok, been out in mine today, just above 2 bar at idle when cold, 6/7 when driving cold then between 4 and 5 normal driving when warm but did notice it dipping up and down dependant on the revs went as low as 2 and a half.
Not sure what it's doing when i give it some beans as i'm too busy piloting the rocket ship

Hmm, 2 Bar idle when COLD ?
idle Cold should be around 6 Bar+
2 Bar idle is usually when warmed up.

when first started it is about 6.5 bar and like you 4-5 mid revs and as the revs drop further so does the needle, then at hot idle 1.2 / 1.3 bar.
It is a forged type r with shorter ratios so not sure if this makes a difference.

1.2/1.3 bar pressure at warm/hot idle is still bordering low,too low id say,anything below 1.5 id start to think hmmmm
maybe a gauge thing,or oil grade,maybe replace oil if old,so dont panic yet LOL,just keep an eye on it/ear out etc
