Evo's Idling Oil Pressure
 

Just curious, I would like to know if my Evo 9's idling oil pressure is "alright" or not

My Evo has only changed its intercooler and radiator, everything else is stock
It currently runs on Liquid Moly 5w30, idling oil pressure is 1.3-1.4bar

Is it too low?

that sounds about right. mine idles anywhere from 17-20psi which is about 1.4bar if im correct

Mine has ~20" stainless line running from the oil filter housing up to the top of the passenger fender where the temp and pressure senders are located

I run ~7PSI when warm at idle. 10W-30 amsoil z-rod

stock motor evo 9

i have 3 evos in the shop..

1) 1100idle w/ 10w40 oil 28-30psi hot
2) 1000idle w/ 10w40 oil 25-30psi hot
3) 1000idle w/ 10w30 oil 15-20psi hot

I see anywhere from 90 to 100 psi with a cold startup, Im talking below 32. Warmed up is around 12 to 15. Mobil 5w30

It is going to take a while for the temperature to work its way up a 20" line. Not to mention, the unsinsulated line will give off a good amount of temperature before it gets to that point. Have you considered insulating it so that you can at least get accurate steady state temperatures?

Also, my idle oil pressure is 16-20 psi.

temperature isn't even hooked up, just the sender is there. I would only see about ~150* though (and frankly I don't care because the car is daily-driven anyhow) because of the line. so it probably shed ~30* just from that
