starlet oil pressure,what should it be ?
JayJ replied to mikey4410's topic in 4E-FTE Engine Discussions
I have replaced a stock pressure switch with Depo oil pressure gauge and it shows following values: cold idle 5.5-5.9bar hot idle(900rpm) 1.3-1.6bar 1000rpm(hot) 1.8-2bar 3000rpm(hot) 4.3bar Using Mobil1 super3000 5w-30/5w-40 fully synthetic mix -
Thanks mate! Mine has them all? Watched all of them, last episode the other night! I'm not in UK, so that's the reason ;-)

Here Netflix only has first part of 5th season. Hopefully 2nd part will come soon, can't wait to see the end. Watching also walking dead, only one or two episodes left of the 2nd season. And you should start watching Dexter, I think it's even more addictive than breaking bad

Sorry, mani sold

Oh? Do you have any pics & tips? More info about this ASAP!

If you are running all year round you should read about the cold start issues with E85 too. Mappable ecu will take care of this, but might be trial and error first couple of times until you get the map right ;-)

You are right that it has higher octane rating and it burns colder, but ethanol(E85) also has less energy. So you will need 30% more ethanol(E85) to get the same amount of energy as with gasoline ->your mpg will decrease. Also these motors are designed for gasoline, so compression ratios aren't high enough to get the full advantage of E85.

CT9 short hot pipe and JAM actuator sold, everything else still available

Different pinout makes sense too. Check your socket with multimeter, so you know which pin has 12v with parking lights on and which pin has 12v when brake pedal is pressed.

Just seen this, very nice spec list

I made a thread about this some time ago, but didn't get a lot answers. Check out for more info, but here's some major points: You will get a poor mpg with E85, I think stock pump won't be suitable for ethanol, stock injectors will max out(you need ~30% richer mixture) and mappable ecu needed to get it run perfectly.

Sounds like a bad connection/short circuit, if moving the bulb changes the behavior
