Default 96+ SOHC Greddy Turbo oil feed Solved

Many of us with the Greddy SOHC turbo kit on 96+ civics encounter problems with the oil sending unit interefering with a electrical "bundle". Thus creating a fair amount of unwanted stress on the sending unit and assembly possibly resulting in a breakage and hence total oil loss and inpending doom on you engines moving parts. Here is my solution: Using Autometer adapter part #2269 and a custom made 8" 1/8" thread NPT stainless steel teflon lined hose I manage to avoid the bundle as best you can. Here ya go:



parts are as follows:
(2) Autometer 1/8"BSPT male to 1/8"NPT female adapters
(1) 8" Stainless steel teflon lined hose with 1/8"NPT male ends.
If you are interested in one of these packages, I can have them made if you cant get the line yourself. Rated good to 1600 psi. (Way more than youll ever need). Althought the line is not cheap to assemble, you may be able to find it locally for less.

there is no hose diamter 4AN- thats just a thread pitch/size stlye. Usually if you have 4AN-ends you have 1/4 stainless steel line which it what i use.

The hoses are made prfessionally and are warrantied. They cost $38

That is not true, hoses do have diameters, and Greddy recommends that you use -3an to replace the oil feed lines. if you get to big, you provide to much oil, and can run the oil seals.
