Oil Pressure Gauge
 

This is a heads up for anyone who wants to install an oil pressure gauge in their Z. To start with. When starting my Z. Oil pressure will spike over 100 psi for a few minutes, then it comes down to 38~40 psi. When I rev it up. It will go over 100 psi at around 3,500 rpms. So, if you want a gauge. Get one that goes to 150 psi. I have a SpeedHut 0 to 100 psi gauge now. I have on order, a 0 to 150 from them.

Here's the pressure sensor adapter to get.

:happydance:

Yeah, I have to give credit for that. :tup:

This is a warning for someone buying a new gauge. Your gauge goes to 140. I bought a 100 and went uh-oh. I need more. :icon14:

How has your oil pressure been? At different rpm's?

Hey thanks for checking in...

Yeah cold engine routinely gets over 100psi oil pressure.
It is my rule-of-thumb to never go over 3000rpm on a cold motor.

Once warmed up, the car idles at 40psi.
Full throttle: 90 psi warm

Wow 40psi at idle? I guess these engine like high oil pressure.

Need to get that oil flowing through the cold VVEL system

He said once warm it’s 40psi at idle.

So instead of using that T-adapter in osborn's post, you just used that adapter you linked?

It's the same one that Osborn used. That's where I got it from.

What's the closest to OE look gauge found to date?

Don't feel bad Rusty, I did the same thing :facepalm: My bypass opens at about 115. I want to say after warm up it hovers around 80-90 driving & about 30 at idle.
