LOL *Strongly* suspect your numbers are off by a factor of 10 somehow, in which case 14.5 and 58 psi are good numbers. That's with the oil warmed up and pressures stabilized?

whopps, guess it is 100kpa and 4kpa. haha! so 14.5 psi and 58 psi? damn these kpa reading, I wish defi made them in psi instead

and yes that's after the car warms up, so is that normal or a bit low?

Per the '94 manual numbers should be >11 psi at idle and 60-70 psi at 3000 rpm.
