Rich!! Hope all is well for you. At this point 20psi at idle might be the ticket on this rotary too. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve to at least mentally feel better, I sleep better at night lol.

I am currently rebuild my s5. I did a bunch of the oil mods since I have the machines to do so and the engine is apart. Anyways my motor also had low oil pressure at idle. I have the RB oil jets, front pellet delete, ported oil pump in front cover etc. Anyways I found that the o-ring on the front cover had got pinched (s5 has the teflon o ring and rubber o-ring) and also my oil pump was badly scarred. Problem is with the front cover is it flexes under high oil pressure and that oring takes a shit. Pineapple racing make s a washer you can replace the two washers with one solid and it takes up the area and get rid of the problem. I have also seen guy run the rx8 front cover gasket (just trim off the parts you dont need. Its steel so it helps in that department and dont need the o-ring. But you may also find the oil pump is pooched. Im hoping all my mods fix my same issue. good luck.

You’re definitely on to something there, with the Eshaft modifications, I don’t think there’s anyway around it besides getting an adjustable regulator.
