Higher Oil Pressure 1st Gen
High oil pressure regulators
These all clam to increase the oil pressure anywhere from (90-120)PSI. OEM is about 60PSI.

Yep...
work as advertised. I have used the Maxmart one... and I have an adjustable one in my REW
You can also modify the stock one if you squeeze down the spring to increase the spring rate.
You also have to shim the front cover pressure relief valve as well or it will become the limiting factor for increased pressure

Awesome! Did it help keep temps down? If so how much? Any brand you'd recommend. I'm thinking the re-medy (Go's with water pump) from mazmart. Just not sure because its has to be 1/3 the price for a reason.

I doubt that you will get a lower temperature.... it I'd mainly to have higher pressure for more bearing protection

It helps with bearings and cooling side seal springs (oil is sprayed inside the rotors, more pressure = more oil sprayed).
This is purely a peace of mind modification that should help with long term issues. Any short term benefits you see will be entirely inside your own head.
