Normal Oil Pressure Levels

What are the normal oil pressure levels for the D16. I just installed an oil pressure gauge and I want to see if it's accurate. When warm and at idle it's around the 25-30psi - during driving it reads as high as 100psi at less than 4k rpm. Is this right for our motors??

Thats about right. Maybe a little high on the high end put they could easily see 90 psi.

Yea, seems right to me, just a little high, but nothing I would worry about. The highest I saw my race car at was around 90, but I never looked at it while I was racing either.

Probably just old oil :P

I idled at 25 in my b16 and hit about 66-67 at the top end. But it was also vtec, I never did see the pressure drop that people talked about.

Oh and if you think yours is high?! My aurora would run at times up to 120 psi.

When we first first first built the engine in the LX, it would peak 6k rpm @ 130 PSI according to the gauge in the ashtray... now it's around 80-ish @ 3k up. idle around 20-30 PSI.. next one I build, I'm going to chamfer the oil holes and remove the oil idler in the block deck. ( that little brass looking plug... it's not necessary, it's just there to block excess oil flow, which it's been figured out, doesn't actually hurt anything.)
