    Shimming the bypass spring on the oil pump

    I was wrong as well, I was looking to increase pressure a little at idle. The last motor that was in car at cruise only went to the first tick mark on the oil pressure gauge and at idle would hover about halfway between that line and the 0 mark or just about the 0 mark which made me a little...

    Shimming the bypass spring on the oil pump

    I thought about running a 15w40, I think I may go to that if I don't like what this stuff does. Has anybody run a 20w50 in their car that didn't have a decked out motor? Chris

    Ebay turbo?

    I have used some ebay turbos on several turbo cars that I have either owned or turbo'd for friends and most of them have held up. I had a T3/T4 on my old Integra and it held and ran strong for 8 years and last I heard its still running good. On the other hand I have seen some that I chose to...

    Shimming the bypass spring on the oil pump
