So i got done installing the turbo kit on my 4.8 sierra and now it say i have low oil pressure , and the only thing i did was add the oil feed line from the side of the engine under drivers side and tap hole for drain in very front of oil pan. Hooked OIL gauge up and it reads nothing.

any ideas anyone???

 

Just to clarify, you hooked a mechanical gauge up and it read zero??

 

Is there an oriface in your oil feed line? Are you reading the factory oil pressure gauge, or have you connected a manual oil pressure gauge?

 

i might have did it wrong but i hooked a guage on the turbo adapter plate on the side and not were the oil sender goes cause its so dang hard to get to but that way read nothing and the trucks display says low oil pressure

 

and it was a gauge we use for testing pressures for all cars so i know the gauge works

 

How did you add the line. Drilled and tapped the block off?

 

yes for my return line i had to drill and tap. i went with the very front of the oil pan just under the crank pulley like i saw member CHODA had done

 

mine is a little right of that

 

I was asking about your supply line

 

OH sorry bud all i had to do it remove the cap above oil filter and ad the adapter and screw on oil line and run to turbo. its the oil set up i got from trick performance ive used previously with no problems
