I have been watching my warm oil pressure and I feel its low. I have replaced the rear oil cooler header when I assembled my new turbo spec motor. My idle pressure is always around 15 lbs warm, its just the pressure when the motor is running around 1900 rpm going down the road. Its around 38 lbs. Now if I'm running at 2200 rpm it will be around 43 lbs. I have read the pressure should be between 40 and 70 lbs at 2000 rpm. I'm assuming this is a warmed up oil. So I'm going into the regulator and see why its low. I'll probably either stretch the spring or add some shims to it. I can make a shim pack from any thickness. At this point I really don't know how much of a shim adjustment I need. I may even build a test stand but thats some ways off right now. Any imput out there???
