Quick question, what is the max oil pressure on a NA SR20? I've heard it will get to 80psi at redline (somewhere around 7500). The reason I'm asking is I want to install an electrical sending unit for a new guage, and I can get either an 80 or 100 max.

Can someone with gauges answer this?

Thanks,

Aaron

get the 100psi one anyway. and and a oil temp guage then you will truly be the man-hoe and all the chicks will run to you as "chicks love guages."

Well, I was looking through VDO's catalog, and they have a 80 psi sending unit, then it jumps up to 150, at nearly twice the price! I think I'll just stick with the 80.

chicks love guages? oh, that could be a problem seeing as i'm building a custom all in one digital guage (that can also do logging).

Maybe they'll like my gas guage, its pretty exciting.

It is possible to see oil pressure higher than 80 psi, but that's only if you're pushing the car hard when it's cold. You shouldn't be doing that anyway.

I find for my use that 80 is fine (I've had both).
