Esprit V8 (1998) Oil Pressure: normal range

[TheV8Esprit]

What is the normal oil pressure range for a 1998 Lotus Esprit V8?  If you have the oil pressure broken down by rpm range, all the better. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jim

 

The workshop manual says ....

 

Engine Hot (minimum pressures)

 

Idle Speed = 1.4 Bar

3500 rpm = 2.4 Bar

6500 rpm = 3.1 Bar

 

Regards

Thank you for the minimums.  Now the harder question:

Any thoughts on where to find the maximums associated with these rpm figures?  

A bit of further background may be helpful here.  I am looking to choose an appropriate CHRA oil restrictor for the Garrett GT2560R destine to replace the standard T2531 that came with the Esprit V8.  Knowing the oil pressure range is helpful toward optimal selection.  Any help/thoughts are greatly appreciated.
