oil pressure

[Aaron91tt]

I just rebuilt my 22re and also installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge. I also installed a turbo oil pump. When cold at idle it makes around 70 psi and when it warms up its around 20-30 psi at idle. I was just wondering if this is in "standard" ranges, and what kind of oil pressure other people are getting.

mine runs about 60-70 cold, warm 40-50 22r with a stock pump.

yea  about 80 cold,  with engine at 180-190  the  oil pressure at 800 rpms  is  40 plus

i run Castrol  20w50

I run str8 30wt.

so what do you guys think about my 20-30 psi when it is warm? Is this too low? If so, what could be causing this and will it hurt anything? thx

You are fine. Toyota manual lists 4.3 psi as minimum pressure at warm idle. 36-71 psi at 3000 rpm.
Just for your info, a lot of "turbo" oil pumps sold by parts chains are actually a regular 22re pump. I have always bought the turbo pump from Toyota for this reason.

ok thx.  yeah I actually picked my oil pump up from DOA. It does look a lot like my old stock pump...
