proper 3TC oil pressure

[CHB]

i'm running my 3TC turbo with a modified 3TC oil pump..

my idling(1000RPM) oil pressure is about 19psi. when the engine start from cold condition, it idle around 2000RPM and give a reading of 61psi..

is this pressure too high?i'm not sure it will blow up my filter or not cos my engine currently can idle, but cannot drive cos i haven't settle vacuum plumbing yet...

It runs a higher pressure when cold because the oil is the thickest when it is cold, once your engine warms up the oil thins out and the pressure will drop. The 2000 idle (which im assuming is cold start or similar) will add a little presure into the equation. Oil pressure will also rise at hi rpm (obviously ), i wouldn't be too worried about blowing up your filter.

thanks for the information.. but what will be the range of the pressure?

That my friend, i am unsure of. Try googling for engine spec pages or search forums.
