I'm about to drop money on gauges and got to wondering if 100psi is high enough. On my other car it would only see 100 if it was dead cold in winter and I reved it much over about 3.5k before it was fully up to temp. I've read that this engine has a much higher than normal oil pressure, but I've never read what normal operating range was from dead cold in winter to max temp on track in summer. What kind of pressures do you see?

itll be fine...mine will hit 100psi every so often but usually only on first startup when its cold

The pressure relief valve opens up at somewhere around 95 psi, so 100 psi should be adequate.

I have one that shows a max oil pressure of 80 psi, and I wish it went higher - it spends a lot of time maxed out until the oil warms up. However it is adequate, since I was really concerned over having enough pressure on the low end, not how high it can go. And I wanted a digital gauge, not an analog one.

On page 8-6 of the 2000-2006 S2000 service manual it says
at idle 36 psi min.
at 3000 rpm 85 psi min.
Does that help you ?

Thanks everyone. Now I just need to make up my mind on mounting options.

Science of Speed has a really nice dual gauge A-pillar cover that really looks nice. This is what I have and I get lots of compliments:



It has the same texture and appearance as the stock A-pillar cover and the fit is great. They're a sponsor:

I have the same one from SOS. The color is pretty close to stock as your going to get. I did notice that in direct sunlight or in some photos with a flash the a difference is noticeable. Fitment was pretty good, I removed my stock plastic and put this in it's place, but since it only mounts from the single point at near the top it has some wiggle room at the bottom. I had to get a little creative to make it not rattle with some foam and doublesided tape.

Or get a digital LED oil pressure gauge, this one goes to 145 lbs.
