No oil pressure from oil pressure switch. HELP!

[xyooj]

I hooked up a mechanical gauge where the oil pressure switch use to be and No pressure whatsoever. I do have a oil filter relocation kit, and I did check if theres oil there and there is. Im stuck. Searched all day. Can anyone help plz?

Either something is blocking the port or you don't have oil pressure.

I tried taking my phone and recording if anything is blocking. Didnt quite that good of a view. Tried jamming a hex key in there. Only went about 1/4 inch or so. How deep is it? Tried starting it up and seeing if pressure with the switch off and still none..

Does the engine knock?

 

[xyooj]

No, sounds fine. I think it might be my hoses from the oil filter relocation kit. They are pretty big. But what I dont understand is that if that is the reason. I should still get a little pressure.

 

[xyooj]

Btw it is a jdm engine if that matters or not.

If you used the Jdm oil pressure sensor it would have blown out your stock gauge.

The oil filter relocation shouldn't cause that but I would verify that it's hooked up properly. The filter is supposed to have a anti drain back valve so hooking it up backwards wouldn't work out good.

No oil at all has come out of it?

There is also a few other plugs on that side of the block that are pressure ports that could be used with proper adapter to check oil pressure.

Well I swapped a mx73 with a jdm 7mgte and before I hooked up the gauge there was no pressure. Also ive double and triple checked the oil filter so I dont think its that.
No oil from the pressure switch? No none.
Which plug besides the oil cooler could I use? I guess I could do a little searching too.

Bump

Update: no pressure from turbo feed either. =z

If this engine is not running, check to make sure that the oil pump driveshaft pulley is ok.

 

[xyooj]

Engine does run.

 

[hvyman]

Doesn't seen like you have oil pressure.

Have you tried removing the oil filter relocation and putting the filter on the block and then checking for pressure?

 

[xyooj]

Thats my next step. It really was the last thing I wanted to do with the engine in now.. ill keep you updated. Thanks.

 

[xyooj]

After I took off the relocation kit and hooked up a regular filter, cranked it and oil spat from the turbo feed and pressure switch. So I guess ill find an alternative way to relocate the filter. Thanks for the help guys

It seems to me that your lines were mixed up. prolly just need to swap them around.

a pic or something of how you hooked it up would help.
