Oil pressure is supposed to go up when revs increase. That's what engines do.

If it doesn't have excessive blowby then buy a new dipstick. If it pops that out, then you either have an incorrectly plumbed catch can, a blockage in the factory breather system or cam cover or you do have excessive blowby and just don't know it

are you sure going to 8kgcm2 on a rb25 is normal?

i dont think ive ever seen 8gkcm2 oil pressure

does the idiot light come on too?

nope no idiot light

when hot it sits just under the frist line when driving gose up past 4 and some times gets up to 8

check your oil level and look for oil leaks

something is missing, it should never hit 8gkcm2

8kg-cm2 is only 113psi.

If you are revving the engine when it's cold......this is normal.

Also, if he had an oil leak from somewhere, oil pressure is likely to drop.....not go up

no i mean, less oil in the engine = higher pressure

ie i wouldnt expect a normal rb25 to hit 8gkcm2 under normal warm conditions

stone cold it might get near or just on, but when warm it shouldnt

yeah but he said his engine was cold

an old r33 gtst of mine went up to about 7kg on a cold start and if i revved it to around 4000rpm within the first few minutes of driving it would also hit 8kg. Nothing wrong with that. My GTR gets about 7 wen cold but doesnt really hit 8 i dont think, ive never really revved it passed 4k when cold. It then stabilises down to 4 in most gears while driving by the time i get to my destination and idles on 2.5-3

in regard to blowing out the dip stick, the info on how to find and/or fix the problem is in post 4 of this thread.

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
