Ok, I just hooked up a oil pressure gauge, and I had put on a sender unit to the existing hookup near the oil filter so it can read the oil pressure, and when hitting it hard, my gauge goes to around 100psi, is this normal? It seems high to me. Thanks.

Is that with or without balance shafts?

How high? My oil pressure used to be 100psi at WOT on my digital Stri DSD SLMII guage. Now it's like 120psi. I don't know what could of caused me to have higher oil pressure. I didn't change anything.

I don't know how high because my gauge stops at 100 psi. But it reaches 100psi very high in my rpm range. So I'll guesstimate around 110 to 120 psi.

I have a 100% healthy bone stock engine with 70k miles on it and oil pressure at WOT on my mechanical gauge reads around 120psi. I always run 10w30 royal purple.

Obviously not. You need a new seal for you're oil cap.

Or an oil cap period, mine leaked, but then I got a new one, nice pretty new one lol, with an eagle emblem sketched in it. Pretty cool. Anywho, yeah I have a basically bone stock with 65k original miles running royal purple as well. Heh, cars are alike lol.

Mine, without balance shafts, is in the 45-55 psi range. Idle should be around 20 psi.Hey I got a cap like that too, much better than my stocker.
On topic - So if 100-120 is normal at WOT, what should it read at idle and crusing? I'm about to install mine this weekend.
