Oil Pressure Question - location/values
Does anyone else take oil pressure from the Oil cooler sandwhich plate? Does it read higher that at the oil galley port?
I've tried searching but with inconclusive results. I have an AIM MXM for data logging, and I use the port on my JR Oil cooler for my oil pressure. It's the most convenient, and I don't want to remove the factory warning location.
I won't be able to use the oil galley port location, as that's where my Accsump will be plumbed to, so no point in suggesting that. I've read that is the "most accurate" location at the mains/crank, and if so, I assume it would then potentially read lower than at the oil cooler. Why though, is still beyond me.....
I'm currently seeing a very solid 70-90psi through high RPM's on 5W40 at 195-220 temps, so pressures are good there. Just trying to confirm if those pressures are accurate, or if they are actually a bit lower at the mains. This will help me determine what pressure to activate my Accusump at, since I may activate it using my AIM, instead of the pressure reading on an EPC valve at the galley port. If there is a difference between the two locations, the that would affect what pressure I activate the Accusump.
