oil pressure gauge

[Asa-James]

finally got mine wired up at the weekend, just wondering whereabouts they should be reading as mine looks to be a bit too good!

it has settled a bit, but moves a lot when revved

It will flutter up and down. Looks about right on choked idle to me. Will drop on normal idle and spin up to the top under acceleration.

and you can tell your mates its a boost gauge :thumb:

That's about right, mine shows that when cold, but once fully warmed up at idle is almost a mirror image to that.

/\/\ What he said.

When cold, the oil is thicker & will show higher pressure at idle.

When the oil has thinned, idle will show a lower oil pressure.

Fully warm idle should be around the first mark-middle, and no lower.
Once you get to about 2k revs it should be max and stay like that.

When cold it will be max at any revs.
