I ran it in my ka-t car for all of 8 minutes. My oil pressure went crazy with that thick goop in my engine. 50psi on idle warm isn't exactly what I'd call normal and the car felt like a complete slug... I hope you have a better experience.

 

i'll see what it does at operating temps, a few extra psi wouldn't be bad, but 40 at idle would be a bit excessive.

we'll see, i'll let you know how it goes.

 

filled to the hump on the dipstick like normal (RB26's tend to drop oil press under boost if oil level is between the hash marks on the stick, it'll shoot to 80psi, then fall off. fill to hump of stick? no drop off).


so far, you're not that far off kevin with your observations... oil psi took a jump...

idle - 25-28psi, up from 20-22psi
cruising - 50psi, up from 40-45psi
WOT/full boost - 80-85psi, up from 75-80psi

cold starts? all i gotta ask if it's okay to hit 100psi at a taking it EASY 3k LOL...

other than that, not really noticing a big difference... powerband feels a bit smoother, engine is a bit quieter, turbo seems to be uneffected, although spools a little smoother...

could just be fresh oil making run a bit nicer, i mean, it's been 3200 miles since I've changed it.

 

It made my car feel like a slug. I noticed a difference immediately so I dumped it.

 

Just been buying and selling parts lately, waiting for my parts to get in.. Pretty much given up on this thing running anytime soon.

fuck.

 

Bought tires and didn't get raped. Score!

 

ugh, i need to get some Cooper Zeons from sink...

 

that thing going to be sorted by Thursday?

 

I sincerely hope so! I ordered them today and they are in stock with 3-5 day shipping and the tire place is literally across the street from my house.

 

stripped my bay down and pressure washed it to prep it for some bay work . gave it its first bath in 6 months to a year
