Today on the street after getting a little bit of heat in the Cup2s I could also provoke ~25psi from hard braking. I added 0.5 liter - and again ~25psi... The stupid iDrive measured no difference in oil level after the first 0.5 so I added another 0.5. Guess what? I can still provoke low oil pressure  Seems for me it is just the braking part, no need to add lateral force. Oh, and I have NO CLUE how much oil is in the engine really 
Where are you now with your car? What route did you take? |
You are CNM? Seems like you're also posting in my thread on the other forum? I installed an Accusump. I don't ever see dips below around 50psi. 3qt Accuusmp has the capacity to supplement oil pressure and keep it above 60psi for a few seconds.
It has been 2 seasons with the rebuilt engine. After this summer I'll probably do my rod bearings. I am sure they are still seeing wear and I'd rather do the job as insurance than spin a bearing. It's a relatively cheap job to diy just takes a lot of labor. Other than that, not much else I plan to do.
