how is it bad?

 

Pressure is not everything... You need VOLUME to be able to properly coat everything to reduce friction as oil is suppose to do...

Think of it like this... When you turn on a water hose, it comes out at a constant pressure and flow, but if you kink the hose, the flow is reduced, although the pressure will increase... normal= normal pressure and full flow, kinked = higher pressure BUT restricted flow... Kinda see where Im coming from???

Also, think about it like this... When you take a piss normally, the piss just kinda rolls down the back of the urinal... Now, if you try to push the pee out faster, making it come out at higher pressure, it kinda just splashes off the back of the urinal and goes everywhere... Therefore, it coats the urinal better with LESS pressure

 

good explanations the second one was sick but still a valid and good explanation.

 

ok................now i get it!

the pissing part helped the most!........lol

 

its a kinda shitty analogy, but it works...

 

What is everyones input on shimmed oil pumps? Ive been contemplating the process for myself but Ive only heard good things, I would like to hear the downside to it....

 

too high of pressure can be bad. Don't really know what too high on a honda is. But I'd guess you wouldn't want more than 100psi.

 

i have around 40+ at idle.gets to 60+ reved.20 sounds very low for a vtec engine.does your vtec pick up.I know vtec takes around 50 to kick in.

 

i dont even know if i do hit vtec... all i feel/hear is boost

after driving for a min it does go around 40's to 50's i believe.. i havent paid that much attention since it hardly gets driven any more. (not for much longer though )

 

driving around you should have atleast 60 psi with a vtec oil pump.i do have an itr pump but i dont think they put out any more pressure then others.is your pressure realy high at start up.my first start its around 55 then goes down some..good luck with it but i would be changing that pump out before its a huge problem..
