Hello everyone. I'm building a m43b19 turbo, it's pretty much the same platform with m42 and m44. It came stock with balancing shafts, wich i deleted so the engine would be a bit more responsive, and have a bit more oil pressure because the balancing shaft bearings are fed w/ pressure.
When i start the engine, the pressure is at 3 bat on idle, wich is normal if the oil is cold, and it creeps to 5/6 bar when given revs.
When the engine warms up, the oil pressure drops to 1 bar on idle and creeps to 2.4 bar when given revs.
After driving a bit hard, the oil pressure drops to 0.3 bar at idle and do not exeed 1.5 bar when given revs... Seems way too low for me
I'm running 10w60 and i added a thickening bottle hoping it would help with the pressure but it did not.
The engine has been rebuilt, so new crank/conrods bearings.
Maybe the oil gets too hot? Won't be suprising as i'm feeding a turbo
Thanks for any advice.
