Oil Pressure Booster Piston Kit

[914-Sun-Race]

Hello,

By consciencious, I will wish to buy this kit (two pistons, two springs), for 914 2.0, which increases the oil pressure in the engine. It appears that it is sure to at least obtain 0,65 kg/cm²/1000 rpm. I specify that my engine was rebuild to new and counts from now on 1000 km and turn on very well.
The weather will start to be hotter on summer, therefore a lower viscosity. One never knows.

The engine turn on to 6500 rpm. Webcam camshaft. Lightened and balanced Flywheel. Con rods lightened and balanced. Special cylinder head. Electronic ignition. More pressure benzine, etc. Used in week-end only

What do you think about it? Useful or not?
Is these parts can produce too much pressure and do some oils leaks ??? Because mi engine is super clean without any leaks.

Underneath, is the description of the Pelican website.

"Oil Pressure Booster Piston Kit

Low oil pressure got you stressed? 914 engines are known for having low oil pressure. On an air cooled motor, having too low oil pressure could quickly lead to disaster. There are two pistons in the 914 engine case that regulate oil pressure. Replacing these pistons with these special ones results in higher oil pressure throughout the engine. Ideal for racing motors, or just heavy street use. "

Waiting for help.

Thank you.

Had one of those kits in a 2 L motor I built. They are a good idea

I hope you have ARP con bolts if you are turning 6500rpms. Stock bolts won't take that for long.

Hello Geoff,

I don't know about the bolts for con rods. I'm surprising because I know many people who uses the stock bolts (new at each rebuild) with high rpm. Maybe, I will take care about when I go upper than 6000 rpms ;-)

Thanks for this information. Have you got any idea about the kit for more oil pressure?

And Jim, how many psi or kg/cm² at 4000 rpm engine hot ? Thanks.
