In my eyes, if your idle oil pressure did go up, its a false sense of "better" and if anything is restricting volume flow rate.

I am not sure what caused it to go up, The only thing i can think of is leaky oil lines...
damn man if I ever saw 8 PSI I'd have the oil pan off that day.Quote:

yeah I would too. You guys need to put some new bearings and oil pump in if you haven't Mine used to be 12 too, but has been running 20 PSI at 850 RPM now for 4 years.Quote:

My car is getting new paint and 99 converted then after that I will be saving up to take the oil pan off for a new pump and bearings. I barely drive the car so It'll sit for a little bit until this issue is fixed. :P
good plan
Raised my idle to 800-850 and now my oil pressure is consistently reading 18-20 psi and after numerous of wot pull 15-17 psi after boosting.
Does this kit come with the adapter to the oil filter housing for the lines? I know when tu buy this kit from other places its a separate purchase. Is there anyway this kit will bolt to the stock location instead of pushing it to the passenger side?
