anyway, today was the first time i really drove much in the car since i fixed it, and the sensors have been hooked up.. obviously, im still burning off all the excess oil thats in the exhaust, but the sensor readings didnt really jive with me, but who knows they could be normal, but to me, i wasnt happy..

at startup

AFR:14.70-15.30
water temp: warmin on up lol
vacuum: 20-21 in/hg
EGT: warmin up
oil pressure: 50psi
oil temp: warmin up



ok, when the car is warmed up the sensors are roughly as follows

AFR: 14.70-15.30
water temp.: normal ~100deg. C
vacuum: ~21-25 in/hg.
EGT: 750 deg. F
oil pressure: 15-16psi
oil temp. 180-210 deg F

the line for the oil pressure gets RED at 210, and it just kinda hangs RIGHT there.

during normal driving, no boosting as follows

AFR: varies
water temp: normal ~100 deg. C
vacuum: varies
EGT: 950 deg F
oil pressure: 60-70 psi
oil temp: 210 deg F

boost guys, lemme know what ya think, or any other info you may need.

where do you get your oil sensor feed?

i'm getting from the sandwich plate and the pressure is around 30-40 psi, and also my vacuum reading is at 25in/Hg constant, and EGT is 800-900 deg. F when idlen and the car is completely warmed up.

im getting my pressure from the sandwich plate right by the oil filter.. it doesnt go that low (15-16) until its COMPLETELY warmed up.. until then it sits around 40-50

Normal mang from what I know.

For instance, my Dad's Chevy Nova when cold is at 80psi, and drops down to 25psi when warm. Assuming muscle cars work the same as the rice burners, your oil pressure is fine.

any more opinions... PLEASSSE
