Anybody know what the oil pressure is on an S14
I am fitting an oil pressure gauge and the one I am getting from a friend is a VDO unit and only goes upto 5 bar.

One more thing When should the chain on an S14 be replaced?


Only kidding!!!

Idle            0.5-2.0 bar     (7-28 psi)
Top Speed       4.0-6.0 bar     (57-85 psi)

The "Top Speed" is NOT the engine top speed, but rather any speed above the
point where the pressure relief opens.

So you need a gauge up to 10 bar...
