VRTrickster 0 Posted March 18, 2007 Can someone please tell me what sort of pressure I should have at 2000 rpm? And what is the Maximum Im likely to see at say 4000-5000? That would be great cheers ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HiAsAKite 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Warmed up or not? At idle I see 4 bar when cold, within a few minutes its down to 2 bar and when fully warmed up it will sit between 0.5 and 1 bar at idle. doing steady 70-90 in 5th (circa 3K+ rpm) when fully warmed up will also see around 4 bar oil pressure generally try and always keep oil press below 6bar until its warmed up... can't recall what the pressure was at 5-6K rpm though..sorry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VRTrickster 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Should I be seeing 8-9 bar hot or cold at 3-4k ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben16v 0 Posted March 19, 2007 warmed up 2 bar at 2krpm is what you wanna be seeing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 19, 2007 Should I be seeing 8-9 bar hot or cold at 3-4k ? Cold, yes, it's possible. Hot, no. If you've got the VDO gaugaes, your pressure Sender is f'cked basically, or has dirty contacts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HiAsAKite 0 Posted March 19, 2007 8-9 bar at 3-4K rpm- To reiterate the above, cold- yes you cold easily see that, warm- no- mine probably sits between 4 and 5 at those rpm warmed up. Hopefully its your pressure sender playing up ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VRTrickster 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Im sure when I tested it at around 70 degrees, idle was around 2bar then revving it to 2500-3000 it hit the end of the gauge, 10bar gauge a think! The pressure seems to rise fairly rapid with the revs. I was thinking what would the pressure be at 4-6k ? ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted March 19, 2007 HiAsAKite, my numbers are the same as yours.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VRTrickster 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Right well I done a retest this evening and I think all is well! Engine nice and hot, idle was just above 2bar, increasing to 2000rpm it raised smoothly to about 3.5bar and around 3-5 at 3000 ish. I guess everything's pretty normal then ? Oh and the gauge is only 8bar, so I was getting worried over nothing lol! :roll: Cheers for all the feedback guys ! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HiAsAKite 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Cool!- 8bar gauge? How odd...didn't know you could get those.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
