Total Performance Engineering is proud to announce the newest addition to our expanding line of in-house manufactured parts.
Our "NEW" Patent Pending Oil Pressure Sensor Relocation Kit.
As many of you know, we released our popular "Oil Pressure Relocation kit" about 8 or so months ago. It was met with unbelieveable success. We have had many hundreds of customers, without one single complaint.
But in the intrest of always making our product better, we have listened to a few skeptics out there who swear that by reading the oil pressure before the oil filter, there was a chance of a false reading. This caused them to purchase 200-250 dollar kits from non supporting vendors. This bothered us to no end.
So recently we sat down and tried to simplify the system, while making the entire kit better, yet keeping the costs as low as physically possible.
Well, the end result is nothing short of perfect.
On the current relocation kit, the only complaint we have gotten, is just how hard it is to remove the main oil galley plug. We even had our 1 and only return due to the fact that an owner could not get the plug removed. This bothered us, so we decided to do something about it.
In the stock C5/Early C6, the oil temp sensor is connected at the port directly above the oil filter, AFTER the filtered oil. It is encased in a small aluminum housing.
So what we did, is have a new oil distribution bloc CNC'd to accept both the factory oil temp sensor, AND the Oil pressure sensor. We also included in an 1/8th" NPT port for the guy who has a turbo on his car, and needs clean, filtered oil for his turbos.
Now, with the NEW and Improved oil distribution block, the replacement of the sensor is even easier, and more accessible. You no longer have to remove the main oil galley plug, AND you can feel confident that you are checking pressure after the filter. There is now NO reason whatsoever that anyone can complain..

Also, with this kit, we have included everything you will need for a complete instalation. All the way down to the new factory gasket. It is a true plug-n-play kit. If you can unscrew your oil filter, you can install this kit.
We will be offering this in 3 seperate forms.
1) A complete kit, including the sensor
2) A Harness kit, without the factory sensor
3) And upgrade kit for our existing customers of the previous design.
The new "Complete" kit includes:
- CNC'd Oil Distribution Block
- OEM Quality Extension Harness
- Factory Oil Pressure Sensor
- 1/8" NPT Plug
- Factory Gasket
- 16x1.5 Oil Plug (For old sensor location, not shown in pictures)
- 6mx35mm Stainless Cap Screws
- Complete Instructions
The new "Harness Kit" includes:
- CNC'd Oil Distribution Block
- OEM Quality Extension Harness
- 1/8" NPT plug
- Factory Gasket
- 16x1.5 Oil Plug (For old sensor location, not shown in pictures)
- 6mx35mm Stainless Cap Screws
- Complete Instructions
The new "Upgrade Kit" Includes:
- CNC'd Oil Distribution Block
- 1/8" NPT Plug
- Factory Gasket
- 16x1.5 Oil Plug (For old sensor location, not shown in pictures)
- 6mx35mm Stainless Cap Screws
- Upgrade Instructions
Although the original design works great, it was our desire to improve on an already product.
The advantages over our original design are:
- New location after the oil filter in order to read oil pressure in all pressure enviroments, to include oil filter failure.
- Easier access to new sensor in the event of a failure
- No longer have to remove the main oil galley plug on the side of the motor.
- Threaded 1/8" NPT port for all turbo owners who need a clean oil feed, without having to tap their existing oil temp port.
- Supercharger owners who utilize the old oil port location for their blower oil feed no longer have an interference with the oil pressure sensor.
- Complete plug-n-play
- In an aluminum housing, exactly like the factory for accurate reading
- Reduced install time by 30 minutes.
We have 20 of our original kits still available. After that, we will no longer be offering them, as we will phase them out for this kit. But if you choose to purchase our current kit, you can always upgrade in the future without fear of paying more.
These new kits will be avail to ship on January 18th. We have an initial batch of 100 made, but will be producing new batches within the next few weeks. Although they are not on our website as of yet, you can pre-order. You just need to call, email, or PM us. As you will see, the prices did go up, but the inclusion of a custom CNC'd part, all of the fittings, factory gaskets, and new harness, affects the total cost.
The Price's are as follows
"Complete Kit" $179.95
"Harness Kit" $129.95
"Upgrade Kit" $99.95

***PLEASE NOTE*** On Late model C6's the oil temp sensor is not located in the factory position on this block. It is in a different location on the motor. The Late C6 kits do not have the oil temp sensor port. So your kit would look the same, but without the oil temp sensor port.
Oil Temp sensors are not included.

The vacuum hose leading from the intake to the brake booster goes behind the OP sending unit, some have broken the sender when pulling the intake.
Also, it is rather difficult to pull the sender w/o at least moving the intake forward. Having the right tools helps, but not everybody has a Snap on truck in their garage.

"When" the sensor fails, this will save you a tremendous amount of time and expense. In alot of cases, they will go out 3 and 4 times in your ownership.
But some guys are lucky, and never have a failure.
The gentleman who just ordered yesterday, just spent 370.00 at the dealer having his replaced. It went out within a month. He's now having the dealer install our kit.
Thanks you for the orders guys..
Its appreciated..

Thank you for your orders guys.
We have approximately 20 LS2/LS3 C6 specific relocation kits avail.
If you have a Z51, or Z06, you will need a different oil distribution block. They are not finished yet, but should be soon. We will post up pictures when we have them.
