colsoop Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Readings would depend on where the sensors are located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 My oil temps vary between 80 & 90 (depending on how hard I'm driving), last summer I saw them at 100 when I was on a very spirited run My oil pressure is 6 BAR at startup until the engine warms, once fully warm I see 7 to 7.5 BAR on WOT, when the car is idling it drops right down 3 to 4 BAR IIRC. My sensors are located in a relocation plate (where my relocated oil filter screws into). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glosphil Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Just finished putting it all together. After going for a spirited drive, the following are my readings for oil Oil Temp Max 125 Degrees Oil Pressure max 8.2 Bar Temp seems high? anyone advise? Engine is very hot.

Thanks I see 80-90 on the oil temp, 100 at most of WOT runs on dyno, 125 is too hot, perhaps you could fit an oil cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glosphil Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 But its only BPU, @ 1.2 Bar, surely I shouldnt need that? I do have an FMIC and Apexi Filter though, thinking intake temps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glosphil Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Ok, been for a less spirited drive, normal driving, off boost where possible, temp reached a max of around 100. I gave it a short blast and it didnt make much difference. Earlier it was a WOT blast down some twisties at full boost. Does it seem ok?
