Oil Pressure
Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone has drive-tested the oil system in the SVX for pressure: 1- Before/during start 2- At idle and cruise 3- Under load (maximum acceleration and braking) 4- While cornering (aggressive street or typical track forces) I am looking at installing an oil pressure accumulator. The main aim is for a pre-start oil lubrication run. The system allows for a 'surge' capability in case there is pressure loss due to acceleration and cornering, so I would like to know if there is an appreciable pressure drop (shown with data from a real-world test) during "spirited driving" to figure out whether it's worthwhile to spend the extra dollars, and to see what pressure range I need it to operate in. (I also figure it'd be useful to anyone else out there thinking about modifying the oil system to at least have the data up here) Thanks in advance for any data to help us out!

Re: Oil Pressure
If no-one has test results from any previous stuff:
Anyone have the oil pressure ranges from the Service Manual, or know what the normal operating pressure is?

Re: Oil Pressure
Quote:
At 176°f, and 600 RPM the pressure "is" 14 PSI At 5000 RPM its 43 PSI. The relief valve opperation pressure is 85 PSI.
