My engine runs at 4.1 KG/CM^2 which is around 56PSI

Is that really low?

I was thinking 80 psi was what oil systems ran at?

The det and DE are pretty close to each other so I was wondering what you DET people have on yours?

thanks

It matters if the car is cold,What rpms the engine is at,Things like that..

At idle speed fully warmed up im getting 13-15psi.Cold starts around 90psi for a few seconds.

At idle I'm running 19-21psi. Cold start up under accel at around 3k rpms I'm at 90psi or higher. Cruising around in 5th at 50mph I'm around 40-50psi.

You can drive the car, I just don't beat on mine until the temp is up at operating temps...
