130 :scared:

I would be worried if mine is that high, will have to keep on eye on it.

Yeah, when I switched to custom oil cooler lines my oil pressure increased a bit. I'm not sure what guys running the stock oil coolers and lines see with the Mazmart oil pressure regulator.

IRC OD was running in the high 70's with his.

9krpmrx8 07-01-2013 10:22 AM

Really? Let me ask my buddy, he is NA and running it.

9krpmrx8 07-01-2013 10:24 AM

Yeah I just asked him and he says he has hit 130psi. He is NA (street port) and running the stock oil coolers and lines.

Carbon8 07-01-2013 10:25 AM

Should I be worried? Seems to high.

Wouldn't popping one of the washers out and only running 2 out of the 3 lower my PSI. If so its a simples fix.

9krpmrx8 07-01-2013 10:28 AM

Well with my Pineapple engine and their regulator I only hit 100psi max. I guess it will depend on what Pettit does. I'm not sure if 130psi is too high or not. My buddy and I kind of have a feeling it is but that is just a gut feeling and not based on any actual data, :lol:

Carbon8 07-01-2013 10:56 AM

I will keep on eye and upload some logs,

Off topic question, I have decided to go No2 and am debating a new TB.

Has anyone on here had any experiences with the FEED TB I know its bored larger, but I can't find any threads or relevant literature on it.

200.mph 07-01-2013 11:46 AM

idk about an aftermarket tb but ive seen a lot of guys port/polish the oem ones. im still thinking of selling my kit and i have a spare tb

Carbon8 07-01-2013 01:16 PM

Im still thinking about buying your kit

Is it a new or used TB?

I would love to know the difference between FEED and stock. For a 900 dollar price tag you would think I could find some specs.

200.mph 07-01-2013 01:20 PM

when i was installing my kit i was a little nervous about spraying at the wrong time and popping my uim so i bought a used uim and tb off a member here. i did a lot of reading before going n02, thankfully i never had a problem

Carbon8 07-01-2013 03:05 PM

Well when your ready send me a price and some pics.

9krpmrx8 07-01-2013 03:06 PM

I miss my nitrous at times.

Carbon8 07-01-2013 03:13 PM

Says the guy with a turbo :suspect:

It will be alright. You have your boost to hold you close at night.

9krpmrx8 07-01-2013 03:16 PM

:lol: Nitrous is just so easy. The only downside is filling bottles. If I were to do it again I would buy a huge tank and filling gear.

I would say the oil pressure is too high, the bearings will start flacking

this happened a long time ago with diesel trucks, manufatures increased the oil pressure because more is better, long story short they turned down the oil pressure and there motors lasted much much longer

Carbon8 07-02-2013 10:28 AM

Yesterday was one of those days I would have ben more productive if I stayed in bed. Long story short tapping the LIM was not on my to-do list.

If you decided to sell and Carbon passes on your kit let me know.

Carbon8 07-03-2013 08:11 AM

Engine Bay Preview, ready for fluids and will be able to start it up.

Anyone know why my headlight dash icon stays on all the time? Even when the key is not in the ignition, that and my security light flashes.

9krpmrx8 07-03-2013 02:29 PM

Do you have HID's? You should have relocated your battery.

Carbon8 07-03-2013 02:48 PM

Yes, I have hid's.

I don't have the high beams or the fogs connected at the moment.

I didn't relocate on purpose, I will be making a tray and going with a race battery at a later time this summer so I just left it be for now.

9krpmrx8 07-03-2013 02:49 PM

Oh well that is why then :)

FazdaRX_8 07-03-2013 02:53 PM

looking good, I was hoping for a wire tuck, but I know those take lots of time.

curious why did you hook up the air pump? you don't have a cat anymore
