New Intake butting up against oil pressure sensor

[crabs]

Hey all,

As the title suggests, I purchased a larger intake and installed it, but the problem is they moved all the vacuum lines to the rear, which then rams right into the oil pressure sensor. Now, I know there are relocation kits to put it on the side of the oil pan, which I will likely have to do, but the pcv valve stem is on the other end of the valley cover.

Need some suggestions on what to do. I am pretty sure there is no way around the new oil pressure sensor relocation, which means i will probably want a new valley cover that deletes that port. But for the PCV, what are my options there? A lot of the aftermarket valley covers look to delete that port for the pcv...

Appreciate any advice.
Thanks.

Which manifold did you buy? Got a pic of it?? My LOD has all the vacuum lines on the rear, and don't interfere with anything.

I bought this one from summit racing:

What kind of build is this going on? Kinda need to know to help give reasonable solutions for PCV.

If the lines are the problem, keep the smaller ports plugged, and run the larger port to a manifold mounted elsewhere.

Here is what the back of mine looked like, we only used 2 ports, one for my catch can vacuum, the big one for the brake booster, and capped the third one.



My PCV setup is valley front tray nipple to the "in" port on my catch can, "out" port on the can to the back of the manifold, passenger side valve cover vent nipple tube to the port in my CAI between the MAF and TB, driver side valve cover vent nipple capped..

can you link this original image? would love to see this blown up.

I can't find where I got the image from, searched and I get all sorts of other views, but not this one. You can download the pic to your computer, or phone and enlarge it. What part of the manifold is contacting your oil sensor? All the manifolds for the LS3's should clear it.

the map sensor is the main thing butting up to it. then there are the hoses and the bends they have to make.

The map sensor can be flipped the other direction using a washer on the bolt to hold it in place.

If the MAP sensor is the problem, here is where mine is located on my manifold, and it looks like in one of the pics in the link you posted that there is a provision for it up under the front of your manifold.





The hoses can be run as needed to clear.
