Yeah right now a group of us in 86 Drive Challenge are seeing reproducible pressure drops on sustained right hand turns and one of us has already blown his FA24. We also have oil pressure instrumented in an FA20 and so far we're seeing that the FA24 has less robust oiling than the older engine. I'm getting a baseline before installing a prototype baffle from KillerB and hopefully we'll see an improvement. So far, another member has tested the SYMS baffle has not seen a significant improvement in right-hander pressure drops.
How are you monitoring oil pressure? Is that the stock sensor via the Aim Solo? Would you happen to know the CAN ID and/or equation required to log it?
It's a somewhat complicated setup. Unfortunately this platform doesn't have an oil pressure sensor so you can't read it directly from CAN. It only has an oil pressure switch, which IIRC is energized when the pressure drops below 5 psi, i.e. it's too late to do anything about it. Instead I'm using AEM 30-2131-150 150 PSIG Brass Sensor Kit www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NTAZ0G and sending that to a custom board that injects the signal into the CAN feed. All the hard work of designing, programming, and building the board was done by @nostreetracing86 and the code is open sourced: github.com/zeroomega/canmim Also have some pictures describing the installation here: instagram.com/p/CrY9wuMv2z4/
Jeez. 3:35 mark. 6-7k rpm dips into the 30psi mark. That’s exactly how one skims a bearing lol

Second this. How are you recording the info?
