Ok so i have a 97 gst with a 6 bolt conversion. I have the bse done an a front facing oil filter housing from jnz. I also eliminated the oil cooler an I am still running the stock oil pressure gauge as of right now an the 2g oil pump pick-up. So the problem im having is my oil pressure drops almost all the way down an dosent seem like it moves at all with the rpms(havent really revved it past 3500rpm since it only has 20 miles on it) after it warms up??? Ive read on a couple of other forms that the ffoh has a relief hole that the oem ones dont have an that could cause this to happen. An as I said before I am using the stock oil pressure gauge as of right now so I do not know exactly how much oil pressure I have. If anyone has had this happen due to the ffoh please let me know what you did or if it droped the oil pressure but not anough to hurt anything or if it might could be something else. Any info on this topic would greatly be appreciated!!

Keep reading up on specific low pressure issues related to the ffofh, and you will find that the pressure is lower on the mighty max ofh because the pressure port is post-filter. Others are pre-filter.
So does that mean that i just have lower oil pressure at the oil filter housing or the whole engine?? :confused:
