Hi just wondering what oil prssure you have.

New motor RB30/25, RB25 oil pump, RB25 oil feed restrictors in the block. 110psi cold with 20W-50 garbage oil for run-in. Haven't got much oil temp in it yet to see if it goes down. Does anyone else get high pressure cold? Has anyone experienced by-pass valves sticking in the pump? The pump was pulled apart and looks to be in VGC before install.

Please help. Thanks.

On my RB25DET I get between 7.5 Bar (108 Psi) to 8.0 Bar (116 Psi) on a cold start, drops to 2 bar at idle when it's up to working temperature. So 110 Psi (7.6 Bar) is good oil pressure for a cold start :) I'm using 10W40 Motul 300V Synthetic oil.

You guys made my day!!! I was just about to pull the sump off and I really wasn't looking forward to it!

The gauge is TEMPORARY for tuning- autometer pro comp liquid filled mechanical gauge (not that it makes much difference) and i bled it properly.

I might try and get some thinner oil to start with now to drop it a bit. Thanks.

2 thou bearing clearances and a 10w30 oil

If you have more oil pressure than above then there is something wrong....unless you have set it up for those pressures.

Plus if you read the manual it will tell you similar figures.

BTW...nice attempt at sarcasm but those figures are accurate. Even with an N1 oil pump you shouldn't expect any more than 80-90psi cold start.

    • Every time I have to buy new tyres I question what actual difference it makes between running $40 tyres and $300 tyres and whether it's worth it. Because that's a massive difference to the wallet. But then I did go to a driving training at some point which also included emergency braking and swerving in the wet. In part I think it was meant to show people how bad it gets. Funnily enough what I took away from it is that I can go much harder than I thought in my car. I presume mostly because of decent tyres. Some of the other cars there were shocking to behold. And a bit scary that cheap tyres are probably a lot more common on the road than decent ones  
    • I'm pretty sure that is just straight AI generated word soup, where did you receive that ad (facebook)? They misspell Pirelli twice, no human eyes looked at that before it was posted. Incidentally, I am running the chinese pirellis on my V37 and they are.....OK....I didn't go looking for them, they were just what the shop had in stock in the tall size that car needs. LIke any brand, you really can't trust the brand's reputation to apply to every product they produce. Pirelli make good and crap tyres, all with the same logo stamped on them, and all with an attempt at price premium due to the brand
    • Welcome.  It's unfortunate,  but a lot of these vehicles just haven't had regular and thorough maintenance for a long while. Once its back up to scratch, it should provide fun and fairly trouble free motoring.  Keep us updated with what you're doing with it.
    • Ya thankfully I've been able to drive it, it's pretty fun however I noticed yesterday while driving to work that my left side of the car is very wobbly, like any bump I go over it jolts the whole vehicle and pulls the steering wheel, I kicked the wheel a few times once I got home and it's a very distinct metal on metal clunk, so I guess I need to take a look at my suspension, maybe it's a control arm bushing or tie rod
