Oil Pressure 60psi on the Highway

[Fuzz420]

For the last few months i have been noticing that i get 60psi on the highway.Im not concerned, but i thought the n/a oil pump has a relief a 40psi.Even in the hot summer i was getting close to 60 on 90 and 100 degree days, with the car fully warmed up to operating temperature.I still have the stock gauge so im not sure how accurate it is.My question is, it possible i have a turbo pump?Also seeing that my pump is healthy, would nebody see any problems with running boost on the motor with this pump.The motor is in good running condition, and im kinda skeptical as if i need to budget a turbo pump in my project.

10w-40 all year around

perfectly normal

PSI under load is usually 36-69 PSI for NA and turbo i believe

might just be because its winter and it takes a bit more heat up the oil..

ok good stuff.No worries then i just have healthy pump is all.The pressure between my old pump and new one is night and day.

yah,
Im starting to worry about my oil pressure its a bit lower then normal. But then again i did mess up my oil pressure needle and im using full synthetic 10w30 oil. i usually read about 10-15psi @ idle and 36-40~psi at higher rpm.

Cant wait to do my rebuild

pushing 137k on the motor, might be safe to throw a new one in when i do the rebuild

i did everything according to the book. Low milage motor, new oil pump, timing belt ,gaskets and other small things.

it was the best $180 i spent

How much are oil pumps? I think I'll look into putting a new one in as well while we're putting the JDM GE in.

usually $100-$200 Matt

i checked the jay marks toyota i seen them for $189 i believe i got mine slightly cheaper, but its worth every penny, get that on your jdm ge ASAP, thats what i did, it gives you peace of mind.

So is it just a new OEM pump? Or aftermarket?
