water temps/oil temps/oil pressure

[grenade180sx]

i have never found exact numbers for any of these things

water temp... what is a normal range for a RB20/25/26 to run at?

oiltemp (no oil cooler) -

oil pressure- at idle and going up to redline?

thanks for any help guys!

Im curious to this also, I just bought a Oil pressure gauge, I think I got the wrong one though as it requires a line to be run to it and I dont want an oil line running into my car, so I guess I need an electronic one with a sender unit. Any thoughts on this?

these numbers were posted here, by a moderator (don't remember which one) for oil pressure, referenced from the R33 FSM:

Idle 1.5bar/21.8 psi2000rpm 3bar/43.5 psi6000rpm 4.6 bar/66.7 psi

do you have the FSM? if not, get one and flip through it.

The pressure info is there for sure, but since the gauge cluster never came with an oil temp gauge or a means for measuring oil temp, there probably isn't any factory specs on it. I could be wrong, but I've never run across them. I am sure it isn't much different than any other motor out there since they all use the same oils.

Yes. Just make sure to get a STEEL sending unit fitting and not brass. The brass fatigues over time and will crack at some point leaving your engine to lose oil pressure.

I'm normally at around 82c at idle for water temp.

I don't drift, but hot lapping it down at the local drag spot it'll get close to 90c sometimes. Up in the mountains through the twisties, I think 95 was about the highest I saw. Drifting, I wouldn't be suprised if you were hanging out around 95c. Starting to get over 98, 99c and I would be getting out of it and trying to cool it down. I think damage starts around 110, 115c'ish
