Waiting on brake parts, got to change my master cyl and pass side rear wheel cyl, had to order some decent flare wrenches and fluid as well...

Well the car runs and drives and I believe I fixed all the leaks and small ish... Its 85 in NY and the car ran cool around town, and I have the slim fan wired on all the time so thats good. I have the brake parts ordered so they should be here soon. Now the only issue Ive noticed, is that the car had great oil pressure, and it still does, at idle its about 25-30 psi hot, but it doesnt seem to want to get over 55psi, and wants to stay that way from 3000+ rpm... Im running 10w-30 and I still only have less than like 25 miles on the engine, do you guys think that could be trouble? I adjusted the clutch and the car feels much better to drive too

so your driving it?
oh can you tell me the deka pt number for that batt?
etx14. I didnt really drive it much at all and im still not until i get things ironed out... The oil pressure is making me think maybe the screen or the filter is getting plugged or somthing

why wheres it at?
25-30psi at idle (1200 ish rpm) but it used to go to 65+ psi after 3000 warm and cold. Now it only seems to want to go to 50-55psi warm from 3000rpm+. Im concerned that somthing is wrong with either the pump or there is junk in the pickup etc...

chaned to a different brand of oil filter?
I actually noticed a couple of psi diff when switchhing from a kn oil filter to a regular purolator
whats your normal oil pressure when warm? I have a wix filter... I havent changed the oil yet though

I'll have to double check, but I believe it's in the 55-65 area. I'll get back to you on that one.
I'm using 20-50 as well
Also I was thinking, I need to find the correct spark plug wires for my car. I have the cyngus obd1 conversion kit, so the NGK wires i have dont even come close to fitting, what are good wires that fit?

sounds like a oil pump issue. if anything you can shim the housing. Those togas are known for epic fail. yet some say its good. My oem at idle was 25-30 and at 3k it was at 40 and at full wot 98 plus. no matter where im at if i smash it it jumps to 95

im thinking of swapping to a new oem honda oil pump but majestic honda doesnt seem to carry anything for our cars anymore, so im checking other places.

wtf!
that's my line.
with the 10w-30 im only at like 50-55psi warm over 3k. I have a new honda pump on the way, so im going to try changing it, the oil, and the oil filter.

like almost 3 years dood. I blew up the stock motor with my first turbo setup, then put in a built motor, had problems with that, sold my turbo setup almost entirely, started over and built an almost all new setup and here we are today.
