Who makes these kits? Am thinking of relocating the sensor while I do my heads/cam upgrade. I will either just get a new sensor and hope it doesn't go bad on me or relocate it and not worry. My 97' with 60K miles has never had a problem. But since I will be right there....
And should I replace the MAP sensor on the back of the intake as well? Do those have failure issues as well???

West Coast Corvette - $199.00. Going to have mine installed if it ever quits snowing in Upper Michigan.

Search on CF , someone listed the parts needed to make your own for $50.00 plus the sensor. It's under Make your own relocating oil sensor.

Thanks. I will look up those parts! Do you have any pics of yours? And what is the best method for sealing the connection to the block where the sensor was originally mounted? I assume one of the above fittings threads into the block and then the line threads to the fitting??? Do we just use Teflon? Or copper RTV? Or ?? Curious, I here it's a common leak area.

And btw, I am finally about to use that Throttle Body I bought off you! lol

Been following your posts about you upcoming build, it will be nice to see that TB on your engine.
I just used Teflon tape and have not had any issues and its been a year now.
I will post up some actual pics of all the parts and some of the completed install when I get home from work.

IRON MAIDEN

Thanks for the help. Yeah, I'm getting excited about the build. I have to do the toque tube and clutch first so I can break in the new clutch. Then I'm gonna tackle the engine upgrades. Can't wait to see what these AI heads and new cam do for me.
I'll keep an eye out for those pics.

IRON MAIDEN

Just looked at the parts list and visualized how the go together. At least I believe I have the order of connections correct. lol A gauge installed in there would be nice too but I'm sure not needed.

Here are a few pics.

Thanks for the pics, I ordered the parts today. You never know when you'll need it. If mine ever goes out I'm set. Nice looking engine bay.

Glad I could help out.
Yes money well spent.

Wish I had seen this post two years ago I'd of saved $100. I'm not looking back though best insurance I've installed on the car to date. Westcoast Corvette did mine including the install. I did not have the guts to remove the intake at the time. Would probably do it now.

Next will be the remote clutch bleed when I have to replace the clutch.

IRON MAIDEN

Outstanding. Looks awesome. Ordering as soon as I can figure out a gauge to add on.

IRON MAIDEN

What type of gauge am I looking for? Looking on Summit but don't see the type that plumb right in. I was looking at the analog type. Mechanical?

oldC5

Marshall Analog gauge ..

IRON MAIDEN

Wanted to add this photo of the parts I purchased through Summit to go along with what b-rad! posted above. Maybe help the next guy looking for the parts list. I wanted to add a gauge but decided to pass for now. Maybe later.

Do you use the stock oil pressure sending unit with the mod or something else?
I was told to use a 2009 Buick Enclave oil pressure sending with the mod.

IRON MAIDEN

I've heard of the Buick mod but never researched it. I plan to just relocate my original sensor as it still works great. If it fails I will buy the cheap Lifetime warranty ones at the local autoparts store. Why I did this as it will take 5 min to swap one out.

I just recently came across another way of relocation. www.TurnKeyEngineSupply.com has an adapter that mounts the sensor down near the oil filter on the side of the engine. Retails for around $30. I would investigate this if I ever have the problem. Lucky so far!
