Busa Oil Pressure Reading

[straightnfast]

I installed a autometer oil pressure gauge on my busa. Line runs from the bottom rt. side oil galley. Motor has high volume gear. Started last night and got 120psi at start and more when revved. Sounds too high? Could it be air in the line to the meter. Any suggestions?

That is normal,once the oil heats up the oil pressure will drop. Dont rev the bike until the oil pressure has dropped. If you dont you can blow the o-ring out of the oil filter.

Thanks, what should be normal reading? Like I said i have the bigger oil gear also should have mentioned that I have the oil mod done by Harry's.

What is the oil mod by Harry's?

opened up the galleys, soldered spigots, and opened main journals, lots-o-grinding, looked good but havent had it out yet. Didnt mind the money for extra oil where it counts!

To back you up i've also got a pressure guage on mine. If its cold out it takes some time to warm up. (15 mins)
I usually leave my driveway when the pressure is below 40 at idle. But dont rhomp on it for some time. Ive seen temps as high as 250 with pressures as low as 1. Yes 1..
I've also discovered when your compression is low the oil pressure starts low and can give you a false sense of security. Another little thing to keep an eye on.

[DropBusa]

I meant low compression as in busted rings or piston. Not lowered comp.

Anyone have Harry's contact information?

the best mod to have done to the cases on the busa
they are prone to over oiling the top end and under oiling the crank and rods

Where is the best place to tap in to get an accurate oil pressure reading? Want to put one one just didnt know where to tap in at

I replace the stock oil sending unit with the line (I replaced mine with a digital sending unit)
all the stock one does is just ground the wire out if no pressure is seen by it

[GuilloryRacing]

Do you remember who has these sending units?

I used the metric adapter from jegs 1/8'' NPT to M16 x 1.5
part number 105-2268 and tapped into the oil gallery plug by the oil sending unit.
