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? |

You will lose oil feed in a long high G turn, and the oil gauge will show you when it happens. Back in the 70s, I used to track my 914 2.0, and it was always a concern on the track. The tuna can (or larger) deep sumps may have helped somewhat, but getting my -6 with a dry sump took care of it.
