Wow, that's from 85 - 114psi. Bar, by the way, is damned close to the same as Kg/cm^2: 8bar = 116psi 8Kg/cm^2 = 114psi.

Keep in mind though that oil pressure is not static, some increase per higher engine speeds is normal (if it wasn't going up I'd be worried).

Any way, that's a lot higher than I would expect to see from a Toyota of that vintage. What weight oil are you running? Did the previous owner do any of their own work? They may have modified the oil pump's relief valving. Look for the pressure specs per RPM for that engine, it may be fine... I really don't know.
