911 oil temp / pressure gauge, how did you mount the pressure sensor? Options

[falcor75]

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?

Matt, 1st off I’m a 6cyl owner so have little detailed knowledge of the oil system on the 4s

My logic would say oil surge in the bend, then pump starts to struggle to pick up. But then you’d have to shift a lot of oil surely, being a wet sump and the oil pickup low down / central? Isn’t internal baffling the same left and right, so why only in one direction

Some of my early cars like minis, triumphs had this type of issue, but often they had an offset pick up so an issue in one bend but not the other. Adding more baffles in the sumps in the triumphs in particular I seem to remember was common

I cannot imagine that the small about of oil in the extended pipe is being dragged away from the sensor due to centrifugal force against the pump?

While I’m at it, great looking car and maybe we need to applaud you for the size of your kahooners and speed through the bend...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
