Is my oil pressure low?

This is why I think it's good to do a build thread as people go along so issues they come accross they can be helped along the way and it's all kept in one thread for your ease of reference.


yeah dude, i have a build tread under the showrrom.. ill update sometime this month with all the problems i ran into so that way if anyone else goes through a first turbo project it might help them.

you dont have to calibrate aem widebands innovates are a pain in the ass Definately figure out whats up with your oil pressures on say a 70 degree day your cold start-up pressure should be around 60-80ish idle and around 35-50 hot idle, should NEVER drop below 20. If your smart dont boost until your on boost is 11.5-12:1 afr. change your oil too running that rich off boost is polluting your oil with fuel.

With the Innovate you do not need to remove it for calibration. As long as the car has not been run for 24 hours then just hit the button.

Didn't know that about the AEM cause I've never used one so that's news to me, thanks learn something new all the time. Guess something's up with his tune then for sure.

True, I forgot that - just was thinking from when I first install it but I usually prefer to take the sensor out anyway to be certain it ain't "sniffing" any fumes at all during calibration, not that hard of a job.

I use to do that but my car sits unused for a few days in a row normally. You do have to do the original Innovate calibration for new sensors in free air.

I drove the car around the house like 5 times after first start. But yes an oil change will be made asap because I used the cheap fram oil filter for start up.





I'm thinking it's the actual feed line that doesn't give me a good reading because the oil psi goes to 60 when driving.

And I even changed the line to a stainless braided line (no leaks)





Its weird though because if I lower my fuel pressure then my oil pressure goes up.. Anyone have an idea why this could be happening.?

Also what weight/type of oil are you guys running on your turbo betas?





I have an idea to check if my oil preassure is actually low. Check it out,



So im thinking to put the stock2.0 injectors on stock psi (40psi)

And check my oil psi at iddle to see if its that? What do you guys think?

oil pressure and fuel pressure are only related by being on the same car, unless your wires are funked up or the fuel pressure is causing engine speed changes.
