also which oil would you recommend to run instead of stock 0W20 ?
cooling the turbo down needs more head dissipation = extra load on the oil
I got my DEFI oil press\temp gauge installed recently
On a warmed engine (90С\190F oil) engine runs 1-0,9 bar \ 13-14 psi oil pressure
On the road the oil pressure seems to follow the tacho pretty fast and pretty straightforward in most cases - 2K rpm for 2bar \ 30psi , 3 for 3bar and so on till the bypass at 6 bar \ 87 psi sharp , no matter how you redline the engine
of course, when it's cold, the oil press could be higher
I wonder how safe is running 13 psi idling on this waterish 0-20W
I got used to see 30+psi idling on my EJ20's and EJ25's , but the oil viscosity I used was never lower than 10-40, mostly 5-50 and 15-50
Maybe there is a sense to reconsider oil viscosity, what would you say based on your monitoring for FRS?
