zx6rblue 100,000Ks and still going strong. Donating Members 381 Member For: 18y 29d Gender: Male Location: Launceston Tas Posted 24/01/08 12:10 AM Share Posted 24/01/08 12:10 AM Hi ho, Just got my flash box back from C&V and the problem is now solved. Anyway had my gauges fitted yesterday and put in the 8Psi tune today and went for a quick trip up to the shop. When I went full boost(just to check the flash tune was ok ) I notice the warning light on my oil pressure gauge came on. It had gone way upto 120 and over on full boost. Is this to be expected or could there be a slight problem. The gauges are PP auto Xforce and were fitted by an auto sparky and mechanic. Oh and very happy with the 8 Psi tune want to make sure all is OK with the pressure before I put in the 10 Psi Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41979-is-my-oil-pressure-getting-to-high/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll notice when you accelerate the oil pressure will climb, this is the engine making sure there is plenty of oil lubricating everythingWas the car warmed up, or was it still cold, try this when you have been driving the car for a while Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/41979-is-my-oil-pressure-getting-to-high/#findComment-624719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
