oil gauge
 

HI it’s been long time since I was on. I just got down putting a new engine in my 88 supra, and also put a new stack turbo in. I had a few questions for the surpa pros.

For the oil gauge on start for me it stays in the middle bar between the big gaps, now when I let it warm up it sits just under the 40 mark.

Now my questions to you all is when at idle were the oil gauge supposed to read and when under boost "doing 80 or so" what should it read?

thanks.

ppl in arizona hit me up. i would like to ask you all questions on what i should do next and always looking for ppl that know every about the the mkiii. "make sure i dont fuck shit up :P"

does the oil pressure ever get to the 80 or 120 mark?

i cant find out whats the pressure is supposed to be at.

when the car is cold oil pressure should be around 40psi maybe a little bit higher.. and at idle it should be around 10-20 psi depending on the viscosity of the oil.. and if your doing 80 on the freeway oil should be close to 40

srry couldnt help you more than that white, my gauge does not work.... lol sits below zero unless im about to start the car then it jumps up slightly to just below the 0

thanks man that helps a lot. :)

now i dont have to think every min. that maybe my top end might be deprived of oil.
