Hi,

i think the accusump kit is a good idea. Also i would recommend other oil for track racing. I would recommend 10W60. Which also gives higher pressure values in general. 20 psi at over 3.000 rpm is really too low pressure.

And please make shure that the gauges show correct values. Maybe it's a good idea to data record values via obd.

Regards, Markus

That is a good point. I believe the oil temp to be accurate based on comparison with the built-in temp sensor using durametric to compare, but I have no way to check the accuracy of the oil pressure, except that it seems to match the expected values most of the time.

You could record the sensor voltage via an analog interface to a smartphone. This way you could make shure that the gauge doesn't shop crap. Also same time you could record g-forces to compare and evaluate data.

Indeed via OBD it's a bit difficult to get the oil pressure. But it's there - in PIWIS you can see it as data. Should be identifiable via an obd port sniffer. But that is not an easy and quick to solve thing. Analog conversion and recording from sensor is much easier.

@Steve Tinker: agree. Would be interesting to get oil pressure and temp values from other users that track their cars.

Regards, Markus
