Cosworth Oil Pressure
Hi,
What pressure does the standard oil pressure switch turn the light on / off at ?
What’s a typical cosi oil pressure at hot idle ?
I am looking at the oil plumbing / gauges for the Dax build and was wondering what was a safe level for setting them at.
Cheers,
WD

Team HOTHOT!
7psi if my memory serves me right is what the pressure switch activates (ie, turns the light on/off) at 
My old cossie hot idle I got 20-30psi depending on oil type and hot 3000rpm I got 60psi-70psi depending on what oil

Anymore input ?
Wondering if I should get a 25 psi switch or if that would be a bit much for the nerves if it comes on after a good thrash ...
