I installed a 911 oil temp and pressure gauge this Winter.
I didnt want to hack up my engine tins to mount the sensor in the stock location so I made bracket and mounted it on the fan housing where the stock coil sits and connected it to the oil pressure port with a piece of steel braided hose with the correct end fittings. It works well and doesnt leak but I've noticed that in long sweeping left hand turns I loose oil pressure, it never goes to zero but once or twice the light flickered on and then immediatly turned off again. Do you think this could be a sensor location thing or perhaps an issue with my tuna can installation? |

 Here's the sensor mounting.  I took the tuna can off but I cant see anything wrong really. (I've got the Jonesy version)  With the bolt that holds the can in place... The heads are vented to a catch can along with the vent on the oil filler tower. |

Check this: https://newsite.hamheads.com/2016/12/10/typ...tests-analysis/ I've read that a few years ago tried it on my old stock 2.0 engine but then suffered a sucked in valve cover gasket on the dyno which wasnt much fun. Thats why I avoided doing it on this engine. A bit wiser now I guess the sucked in gasket mostly depended on that it wasnt glued to the valve covers. I guess I will have to give it another try and see what happens. Thanks for reminding me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
