Probably a dumb question..

I'm new to the rotary world and I did a search but couldn't really find what I was looking for. What should normal oil pressure be? Just didn't know if it was drasticly different from piston engines. Go easy on me.

On a non turbo car, oil Pressure should drop to 18-20psi and under any throttle should jump to between 30-40psi and any cobstant throttle or higher rev should bribg it to 60psi or higher. While cruising high speeds saying 100mph joy rides my oil pressure hits 80+psi.while drag racing (yea I kno its lame, I only do it to prove points. A boosted b18 swapped eg hatch is still slower than ny non tuned na 1.3l lmao) I have seen my oil pressure over 90psi pegging the top of the gauge.
