Hi all, well I've got a set of Genome gauges the last few weeks the oil temp was staying at 100 even from start up, but this week the oil pressure was normal running 6-7 bar but on boost was dropping to 1.5-2 bar??? I don't think it's a engine fault think the sensor maybe on way out or earth problem wondering whether anyone has had this kinda issue and how you rectified the problem. Oils pressure stays fine till I hit boost then just drops and stays at 1.5 till turn off the reset then goes back to normal?????
Help
Both oil temp & oil pressure is on the sandwich plate on oil filter.

Thanks in advance

Would never fit a sandwich plate, the filter sits close to the headers as standard.

Run oil pressure via a fitting kit from the standard switch location under the alternator and oil temp from the capped off port above cylinder 3 at the back of the block

As above. Needs totally re-plumbing.

Subaru provide the best spots to take readings from, anywhere else is a waste of time.

So would I need to get new sensors to relocate?
Just so we're clear I never fitted them that way.
Came in to country like that. Just thought it was the norm.

Your current senders just screw into the above adaptors.

The oil filter plus sensor near headers issue , i have jubilee clipped two metal plates to the headers very easily done and temperatures are kept a lot lower and accurate in normal driving , if i sit in traffic it goes up , i use the aircon to bring temps down as when you turn the a c on it puts another fan on , i did not realise how much oil temps go up with harder driving or in traffic but you would not realise without having a gauge to tell you as coolant temps don't change , if you want more advice on the heat shields and how to do then then pm me , the shields meant temps went from around just under 100 to 85 ish

Well I relocated the sensors to factory placement above chamber 3 and under alternator. Everything still the same. Starting to think the sensors are fried?!?! Unless anyone can think / knows any other issues it could be??

Thanks

Any one know where I would get oil temp & oil pressure sensors as think both are fried as relocated to top of engine and both still not working properly.

Would be worth checking the wiring on the rear of the gauges for poor contact/loose/broken wires on the daisy chain link wires before you condemn the sensors.

Still no luck checked for broken wires???
Have I struggle finding sensors? They are madly priced wondering if anyone knows of where to get or has any they wanna sell? Thanks
