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? |

I dont think its your pressure gauge. Most likely its correct.
I guess someone could of installed the tuna can with out the pick up extender?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Oil pressure was a big deal for me since I share the car in endurance racing. Worried that someone not familiar with a 914 wouldn't pick up on the idiot light or gauge info. I run an accusump. I've never seen the light come on since. Even with slicks at Sebring. Maybe something to look into. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
