07’ aquatrax f12x high oil pressure

Did you change the oil and then start getting high oil pressure or did it just start happening?

the high oil pressure alarm should activate when pressure falls below 31psi and the low activates below 3psi

I got the engine out of a wrecked ski from a place in Florida, I assembled it with a oil pump assembly and housing from one that was sank and the engine locked up. After running it, it blew a new turbo and snapped the impeller shaft. I took oil pressure readings a bit to late, they wouldn’t warranty the turbo for logical reasons, I removed the engine and replaced the relief valve, installed a whole new oil pump assembly, blew out all the passages in the housing, installed new internal screens. Removed the oil sump and completely cleaned the debris out. Installed it and cold at idle for two minutes I have 80 psi. It is driving me nuts. Also new Honda oil filter and new oil

I do not have any oil pressure alarms

I would suspect a potential clog/restriction in the balance shaft oil ports, crankshaft oil ports, cylinder oil nozzles, cam oil passages, banjo bolt screen feeding turbo, as well as turbo return lines. Could be any of these areas having a restriction/clog.

The pictures you posted show 40 psi at 3000 rpm, if I see clearly, that is within spec according to the factory service manual. I would connect the oil pressure gauge to monitor during a ride. See what the pressures do cruising at 5000 rpm. You may see a jump in pressures, 60-120 psi during the initial jump in throttling, but does it settle down to a lower psi shortly after? If so, what is that psi?

Once you discover the issue and correction, please post your findings!

I will be taking it out this weekend and I will leave the gauge on to do what you Recomended, do you have a bit of experience with these engines?

While engine is cold, oil pressure will be 60-80 psi. Once running, turn on hose and let it warm up for 15-20 mins, at that time you will get a more accurate reading on the oil pressure guage.

I have experience on many systems, it's the overall skills developed through experience that I have. I've also recently rebuilt a F12X Aquatrax, just another engine squeezed into a vehicle of a type.

Looking forward to the results you come up with.

I ended up taking the ski out today and with a passenger on the rear it ended up taking on water into the hull and slightly went into the intake, I pulled the plugs and cranked it over, put the plugs in, started it and it runs but after 10 seconds the engine doesn’t run that well. Nothing but issues with this ski

How and where do you connect the oil gauge?
