Bobby,
 
My oil pressure sensor is just before the oil filter, it has always been there.   I was suspecting that the E-Shaft oil jets are the reason, more oil flow during idle than before.

Rino,
 
I have the same mod's and see the same low oil pressure at idle when the oil is warm. I see a around 60 psi in flight. Both of my pressure senders are located at the oil pad block. At onetime I had one OP sender between the engine out and oil cooler in and  would see pressures as high as 120 or more. Where's your OP sender located?  Lynn indicated the oil jet replacements are the cause of the low pressure readings. Check the archives for November of last year.

Tracy,
 
When I rebuilt my Renesis I installed the Thermal Pellet and the E-Shaft oil Jets.  The oil jets seemed to have lowered my oil pressure at idle speed.  I get only about 20 psi  at 1500 rpm.  Is that normal or have I done something wrong during the installation.  At higher rpm I get what looks to be normal pressure up to 90 psi.
 
The oil seem to warm up faster now, that is better.
