Finn, it's a good idea to tap the oil pan to get it's temperature. It usually is around 30F hotter then incoming oil, then you get a true reading of how hot the oil is. The OMP pressure will be after the regulators, so no point going there. The stock location to get oil pressure is @ #8 in the picture below. Where it goes out to the oil radiator (just above #9) would be your best spot for a pre-cooler pressure, but I don't think that pressure is worth knowing anyways. 

Those sensors from Ebay look to be the same I am using. S.S.,1/8npt and comes with pigtail. Can't beat the price, and they seem to be working well so far.

Anyway, thank you all for your replies. Sounds like a 150 psi sensor will be the safest.

I have no plans to tear down the supposedly brand new Renesis, so for now no modifications.

Thinking about a before cooler pressure sensor too. I suppose the only (easy) option is to drill and tap the oil metering pump supply hole (which I've already plugged)?

I would like to also have a before oil cooler temperature sensor. I guess I need to find a spot in the oil pan?

I suppose a 30 psi sensor is adequate for water pressure (assuming I don't go with Evans non-pressurized system)?

Trying to source sensors, I looked in the places I had purchased them decades ago (Newark, DigiKey, Allied) and was dismayed at the availability and prices. In my original RV-3 I had used the solid state MPX-5999 with barb from NXP USA.

A Google search finally lead me to a posting which led me to Aircraft Spruce and a "Swift" pressure sensor. That led me to eBay where there now is a wide selection of 5V (amplified) solid state sensors with 1/8-27NPT housings.

These solid state sensors have (amplified) output voltages from 0.5 to 4.5 volts with a 5 volt supply (they even come in 12V (10-25V) supply version for a bit more).
Yes, your engine monitor has to subtract (offset) the bottom by 0.5 volts (0 psi = 0.5 volts).

When searching note that oil pressure switches are often called sensors too.

I installed an RX7 rear regulator and shimmed the front reg with 2 washers. Also installed thermal pellet and weber jets in the e-shaft. Average around 110-115psi during cruise, so I went with an 150psi sensor.
