Lotus Boy Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi, Pretty sure my C20XE oil pressure readings are as follows: Cold idle = 5 bar Hot idle = 1.75 to 2 bar approx Hot above 3000rpm = 3.75 to 4 bar ...and these are from a mech oil pressure gauge.

k.russell Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 my electric gauge gives very similar reading to the above figures given by David. Kevin R black(but sometimes orange)-ali HPC here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavic82 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Look at SBD web site for advise but a think the hot above 3,000rpm should be between 60 and 70 psi. Mine runs at 4.4 to 4.6bar hot. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Normuss Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Mine are similar to David's but nearer 4 on cold idle. VX HPC - Loud and proud here Adding power makes you faster on the straights.

MAURY712 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 thank you for all your answer I think the trouble comes from the oil pressure sender .. i have controled the oil pressure with an old sump plug i have drilled and threaded M5diam ,pneumatic hose 4mm diam and at the end an air pressure indicator ... i hope the trouble not comes from the indicator ...i dont know how i can test it ... 😔 now the sender is ordered thank you again !! 1996 road legal 7HPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
