Right chaps bit of advice needed.
Numero un issue... oil pressure pain in the arse...
I've got an electric gauge and the dash gauge wired up, on cold start the dash gauge reads 4 bar and the pod gauge reads 40 psi?..
Once hot the dash gauge reads 2bar and the pod gauge reads 20psi.
On high revs neither gauge moves.
Today me and Mr ash plumbed a mechanical gauge in and on cold start oil pressure read 40 psi, once warm it read 20 psi on tick over, on high rpm it read max 35 psi .
Is 35 psi enough as not to smash my engines back doors in? Just so you know the same readings showed on my c1j before rebuild with its original oil pump and with a replacement oil pump (not new but checked on rebuild for scoring etc) so any suggestions or has any1 had this same ball ache .
Issue número der.
Intermittent miss fire after gear changes on boost. 1st of all a new fpr has been fitted, cosie fuel pump new fuel lines and braided lines. Fpr has been set to 6 psi . Reason for these upgrades are because I was going to tune her up for 200bhp (well mr ash was) but as issue número one above reared it's ugly head , the tuning has been knocked on the head. Until solved.
On boost after certain gear changes I've noticed there is a "hold back"/misfire " this has started since overhaul of fuel system. It's happend in 1st gear setting off on a roundabout. Overtaking , in between gears etc,. But not all the time. I've been using a afr monitor and it is fuelling spot on mid 11,s on boost at 1bar of boost. I've changed the plugs and re checked the new plugs today and they have a nice clean burn on them. Also compression test done today to at mr ashes auto shop. ;). Showing 150 on 4 pots.
So there we have the two issues. Has any1 got any ideas /advice cheers chaps, :scratch: mr ash feel free to add or correct anything I might have missed or got wrong :agree::cooter:
