    Lack of oil pressure, Crank-Cam position DTCs

    @Mr168, we checked the lines and everything is routed correctly and there aren't any kinks. Some of the lines are a little long and have some bends which may introduce a pressure drop, but i would imagine they're not where the majority of our pressure loss is coming from. We believe that we are...

    Lack of oil pressure, Crank-Cam position DTCs

    @tmoose Were measuring the oil pressure via the pressure sensor on the engine block @gruntguru The factory oil pump was completely removed. We did plug the gallery that fed oil from the stock pump to the oil filter (the oil filter is now remotely mounted). Unfortunately, we aren't able to run...

    Lack of oil pressure, Crank-Cam position DTCs

    We have some in-line filters on our return line. Not sure if I would want to move the main oil filter to the return line as that would mean we have no protection for the oil entering the engine. Also, there would be no pressure to drive oil through the filter; it would rely solely on the vacuum...

    Lack of oil pressure, Crank-Cam position DTCs

    Not sure how much damping there is in the sensor, but we are using the stock GM oil pressure sensor, which has some electronic filtering. The values we were seeing were quite smooth

    Lack of oil pressure, Crank-Cam position DTCs

    When we first tested the system, we did have the issue of oil accumulating in the engine, but it was due to a restriction in the pan at the front cover to oil pan interface; oil would pool at the base of the front cover and not drain into the pan quick enough. We opened up the pan at the...

    That pump has a pumping stage and 2 scavenge stages. Shouldnt need another pump to create the oil pressure. This is a schematic of the system (we have 2 scavenge stages, the pump in the schematic has 3; everything else is the same):

    Lack of oil pressure, Crank-Cam position DTCs

    So im on a car team at school where were integrating a hybrid powertrain into a 2016 Camaro. Were using GM's 2.0L LTG engine coupled with 2 YASA P400 electric motors. Our packaging forced us to use a dry sump for engine....problem was that at the time, no one made a dry sump for this engine, so...
