Oil pressure kits

[torq455]

I've been searching and can't find any details about the spacer used. Anyone know if it's hardened, or how thick it is?

 

[Scottydoggs]

for a gauge? it just screws into the where the oil pressure sensor is. done. unplug stock sensor, toss in the trash.

Or screw in a brass "T" and have the stock sensor and a mechanical gauge.

the stock sensor is useless. if you do add the pressure gauge make sure you splice the 2 factory wires together from the plug so the oil light doesn't come on the dash

Look under oil pressurd for all that info in pics

 

[torq455]

it's not a gauge. it's a shim that goes in the oil filter housing to increase oil pressure. http://intense-racing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IR&Product_Code=OPK-671&Category_Code=GH

there is a little washer. I figure it's $1.50 for the gasket and much less for the washer, so it's not worth it to spend $30 for the kit.

Its a different pressure spring. Just get an oil pressure relief spring for an 05 gtp same thing.

:th_hammerhead2: Oh DUHH! Thanks for that.

I thought this was interesting. GM part number for the new Oil Pressure Spring

I'm not suggesting anything, but the dorman washer that I use may just be located in those pb pics.

Oh a part number too! Thanks. What psi increase did you see and with what viscosity?

 

[BillBoost37]

Go check out the vendor sites.. do a little research..lol

 

[torq455]

hahaha. So what you are saying is you don't know.

 

[BillBoost37]

Not at all. "What I'm saying is go do some research." I believe that no one should put a mod on their car if they don't understand it and it's benefits/ramifications. If those were understood and research had been done, you'd likely know the expected gains from the kit.

Not being a dick (for once), really saying though, that if you want to do something, please understand it.

As for my experience..it's all dependent on the oil used, idle/high rpm etc etc.

That's why I said what I said in my first post. Which is why I'm not doing anything right now but researching. Kinda the point of the thread. I figured maybe someone here has experience and can give real world info.
