I have the stock oil pressure guage and at idle the neddle stays just above 0 and at around 3000 rpms its a little below half way. It goes up closer to the top on high acceleration. Is this normal??

Shouldn't this go in the 3rd Gen section?

Yes, but the stock gauge SUCKS. I have an aftermarket one and it reads 2 kilos at idle when warmed up. At WOT, it hit 8+...but the stock gauge reads slightly higher than half... <_<

The stock guage is known to get stuck from time to time also from the oil pressure sender getting mucked up and getting a poor connection. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Well that is what I thought J had implied. A copper coil is a copper coil it is all about the sender.
