Help! Installed Fmic And Oil Pressure Is At 0

Okay so I looked everywhere and I couldn't find this. I installed my fmic today and everything seemed good. But my car started to die and I have 0 oil pressure. When I first drove the car it was fine. But I went for a test cruise and I started to lose oil pressure and now it's 0'd out. :(.

I drive a gtst r32 with 106k miles.

Thank you!

I'd say they're both unrelated things. Has the engine died or just the gauge itself?

The engine has died twice while driving. And the gauge was working about 30 minutes ago and now it's just at 0. I thought that it was unrelated as well but maybe I'm missing something because this never happened until I threw the fmic on.

Hopefully it's your 1. Sender, 2 Gauge, or 3 she's f**ked !

R32 GTSt's generally the sender ....

Edit:

Nothing to do with the FMIC.

If your engine has died twice while driving you have issues

There is one other thing I think okay so when I was installing the fmic I took the crash bar off to get the ic on there. And on the crash bar were these 2 things attached to it. I didn't know what they were. But they were plugged in. I didn't install them back on because it looked like it was not important and there were hoses leading to nowhere. Anyone know what those two things attached to the crash bar is?

Thank you everyone for your input. So I did some trouble shooting and now the oil pressure reads between the line before 4 and 4 when I'm driving on the highway. But as soon as I come to a red light it drops to 0 is this normal?

In no particular order..

Guessing you have a leak in the hoses or similar in your newly installed intercooler.

If you oil light is not on but your guage is reading low its usually the sender unit. Is the light on?

Attached up the front is the tmperature sender unit for the climate control. Check the ambient temp on the hvac control panel.

Or

Shes busted.

what did you leave unplugged?

It is possible the oil pressure is related to the front mount install....if you have a leak in the intake as said above it will idle lower or even die; when the engine is at low revs because its not idling properly the oil pressure may be very low

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
