cavalier circle track
Thursday, May 01, 2008 5:29 AM
I race a 1992 Cavalier on an oval track in the stock four cylinder class. I just got the car a little while ago and don't know much about it. It's a 2.2 tbi engine car... not the multi-port.

Does this car have a rev limiter? I was wondering how hard I can turn the motor without hurting it.

Also, I have an oil pressure question. When the car is cold, it has like 50 psi of oil pressure. After the race on pit road when I was sitting waiting to get back to my pit stall, it only had about 25 psi of pressure when it was warm. I revved the engine and the pressure started climbing again. So when I'm on the gas it goes back up toward 40-45. Is this normal to only have 25 psi at idle when the engine is warm?

Thanks Shane. A lot of people on another site have told me that my car being that old doesn't have a rev-limiter. I know nothing about cavaliers. I don't have any video yet, sorry.
