Ok, so I just swapped out my f'd Avenir and swapped in a new BBDET longblock. I must say this one seems to be running much better, no cold idle problems, etc. I was wondering though, what is the ideal Oil psi for a "warm" car? My gauge is reading 22 psi at idle (1000 rpm, still have to adjust timing, etc), is this too low? Any suggestions on fixing it? Thanks

SR20DEVIL the FICD on the Avenir SR20DET is not the same as the Bluebird niether is the IAACV but I believe the problem is only with that FICD as that are rated in different ohms (you can see it stamped in white letters on the connector and different part numbers) and the IAACV just appears to be a better design (newer).
