Just changed my oil with liqui moly 5w-40 and oil pressure is way better at all temps. Maybe the lucas was a lower viscosity then rated not sure

How does that oil stack up in the ratings ?

 

Is it known to break down sooner then other oils ? We know Mobil 1 5w-30 breaks down to a 5w-20 fairly quickly.

 

Ok where would I find this information?

Startup pressure checks out to me. My car idles hot at 750 RPM @ 25 psi on 5W40, but it's an OEM block. Where'd you set clearances at? Oil pressure look good on power?

 

oil pressure is good on power and driving, its only at very hot idle where i have an issue.

So I built my motor about 8k ago, using sti crankshaft, eagle rods, manley pistons. and king bearings. new subaru oil pump

Engine is running strong and clean no issues there.

I just installed an oil pressure gauge and i have a few questions.

 

so today its 85 degrees out when i let for work this morning and on engine start my gauge is at 90 psi. by the time i get to work about 10 minutes at idle im around 17 ish. but lets say i go and do some highway driving for extended period of time or go and do a few pulls or just driving back roads is where i think i may have a problem, after those scenarios my oil pressure at idle is like 10-12 psi. If i bump the rpm to like 1k i shoot up to like high 20s almost 30.

 

is this normal? or do i have a issue?

the oil im running right now is lucas oil 5w-40.

how do the cams affect normal daily driving? still easily street able?

wow those look great, where did you source the seats and cost?

Are those rpf-1 regular silver or sbc?

 

There the standard rpf1 silver color

Nice. I'd be interested in some more details on the motor rebuild.

 

Sure what's your questions

Finally added some 17x9 Rpf1 wheels and 255/40/17 tires

Any questions feel free to ask!

Thanks guys !

For suspension I kept the stock blisteins and used swift springs . Whiteline rear adjustable control arms and poly bushings in the front control arms.

The interior is like new which is great! All I did for that is my gauges and a good detail. Used prosport premium halo gauges

Dont have much pictures for this part but for injectors I got injector dynamics 1050x injectors and a dw 265 fuel pump. Deleted all air pump stuff. For exhaust I have a cobb downpipe and magnaflow exhaust. For the clutch I'm using a exedy 15803 hd clutch. ACT racelite flywheel. Grimmspeed top mount intercooler, grimmspeed pitchstop mount and all group n engine and transmounts.

I wanted to keep the Subaru Burble so I got Tomei UEL header and uppipe. Wrapped the header with included wraps. And for the turbo I got a Kinguawa 20g turbo. 8cm housing.

For the heads I added stainless valves and 80# springs keeping stock cams at this point.

Now it's time to remove the motor and get to work! For cylinder number 4 rod bearing had spun. So I got a Sti Coated Crank, Eagle Rods and Manley pistons. Also got a 11mm Sti Oil pump.

Hey all giving a little build list for the Spec B I just finished. I bought the car sight unseen from copart, first time I've ever done that. I knew it would come with engine problems so I prepared for that. When I recieved the car i was splendidly surprised on the condition of the interior and exterior. Came from California so its spotless underneath, but did have a good rod knock. Here is the car day one on the trailer

Send some pms lol. Madrig isn't always on or the quickest response to his threads but I know he takes orders by pm. Last I heard he had a lot of work though.
