Question STRi X-Line gauges: what are your readings

My Water and Oil Temp. values seem to be ridiculously low, and Oil pressure dramatically high:

1/ Water:
Sensor is on the uper rad. hose. I see thermostat opening at 75°C, then solid 85°C, can hit 90°C or a bit more under charge
I have DP, HF Cat, HKS-RS, PFS SMIC, silicone rad. hoses and vented headlight cover. OEM radiator! Airpump still on so no underdrive pulleys

2/ Oil:
Sensor is on the GReddy sandwich plate on the oil pedestal.
70°C or lower when cruising
80°C in traffic
90°C to 100°C under charge

3/ Oil pressure also: I see quite high readings (same location as the temp sensor)
2 kg/cm² at idle
then it's always between 5 and 6 in different throttle position.
Full charge goes above 7 which is the last figure on the gauge.
This whatever oil I put in.

4/ Fuel pressure: steady between 2kg/cm² and under 3, which make me think that it works well! Stock fuel system.

For those who have same gauges, what do you read?

For the others, I know this have been discussed thousands time, but feel free to share your opinions if you think this thread can be interesting.

Thanks

Great! I'd love to have some comparison. Let me know.

I followed your project by the way: very nice!

i dont think my gauges are the same but my oil pressure used to read about 1.4 kg/cm² at 900 idle, and now with 3/4 full of oil, its readin 1.1kg/cm and lowers as i stay at idle, so i think i got a oil pressure problem here, has this happen to anyone else before?
