Krambo Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Are we talking logged events by software or observed via gauge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 id say logged because the guages are so off. im running the lpe oil pump too. but is there anything bad with higher oil pressure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 now i feel like a need an upgraded oil pump after seeing everyone else's psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpspecial Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 That is logged for me as well, not by the gauge, by the gauge its gets pegged to the far right on wot runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleyperformance Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 higher oil pressure is good, but it does have a tiny bit of extra draw on the crank. people have told me that it robs power, but i saw no loss on the dyno.... its just too small and gives such little resistance IMO to draw much power. the main positive to it is prolonged engine life, and just a tad safer operation IMO. i like to install high volume pumps on anything high hp/rpms. i use the aeroforce to read my pressure.... and yes the stock gauges are pretty off, mainly the ECT. its usually off by +-20 deg.
