I have researched this topic in the World, Club, Rennlist, Pelican and Google.
Is there any justification for this - in writing from a trusted authority? Thanks, |

A fresh or good mechanical condition T4 will make 10psi/1000 rpm hot easy.
Thing is there's many factors at play so the 10psi/1000 rpm isn't a hard rule, just a good ballpark. Plus the figure may drop slightly as you get over 4K rpm. Also many aftermarket gauges like VDO aren't totally accurate. As they get older it may flicker the idiot light at slow idle. I've seen old engines, with obviously a fair bit of wear, only making say 7-8psi/1000rpm (hot) and ticking along just fine. Any less than that and you know that it's almost rebuild time or it has an oil control issue. |
