I must have searched through 100 posts trying to find this out last night.
I called GReddy this morning, and their tech person doesn't know either (sigh)
I've PMed one H-T member who said he was running this on his B-series block...no reply yet.

I'd imagine they are 1/8" NPT, but want to be sure.

Here's a link with more info on the product. It's pretty much the same idea as the AC AutoTechnic, Golden Eagle, etc sandwich adapters. I just happen to want the GReddy one.

Scroll down about 1/3 of the page, look for "GReddy Oil Filter Block Adapters"

Thanks

AC autotechnic makes one too however im sure that the GE and Greddy are better though
also i heared that you have to use a different filter, like a toyota one, is this true??

Sonny

That's definitely not true with the Greddy adapter. The one that I took off my customer's car had an OEM Honda filter on it. I'm not sure of the other brands though. They may require a different filter.

AC uses factory oil filter as well as GE the AC however does not filter the oil through like the new GE ones

Sonny,
Question for you on the GReddy adapter...

When you rotate the unit and eventually tighten it down to the block, do the BSPT ports line up in a certain direction? Or is it pretty random (depending on how your particular block had its threads cut)

Just wondering which direction the NPT ports will be pointing once I tighten down my adapter. My line going to the turbo *might* have to be replaced with a longer one if the ports end up on the passenger side direction. (my oil line is all bracketed down and goes around the driver side of the block)

Thanks

i have a greddy oil adapter too, I took it to a hydrolic hose specialist shop and gave me an adapter to convert the bspt into npt.. i havent mount it yet but will do in a week or two at the most.

Sonny

I didn't try rotating it, but when it was on the car that I took it from, the side with 1 big port and 1 small was facing up. He was using the upward facing 1/8" BSPT port for the oil pressure idiot light.

Oh weird, how come he wasn't using the stock location for the stock sensor? (was he running his turbo line from there perhaps?)

Also, you just brought up 1 more item I meant to ask...

So I see from the pic that the GReddy unit has (2) 1.8" BSPT ports
What size/spec is that larger port? What do you use that for?

Sorry if this is a dumb Q - thanks

kamaleon

teh larger one is for oil temp... i just got a greddy oil temp gauge just in case the 'american' size didnt work with it.

RenoRacing

i'm not sure what size thread the large one is but a fuel filter banjo bolt and fitting thread right in there. I have one for sale if anyone is interested, comes w/ the banjo bolt and fitting, the sandwhich adapter itself, and two bpst plugs, and one plug for the bigger port. pm for details or pics.

Thanks Kamaleon. Info was appreciated.

Reno...you have PM

kamaleon

RenoRacing

I just took these, it's been sold already.

kamaleon

ahh kool

AB16A2T

mmm... Interesting. Looks nice.

kamaleon

yeah but i rather have braided lines with the fittins that you 'screw' im gona get that done this week

RenoRacing

yeah, steel braided lines are always nice but sometimes you gotta sacrafice for the cash! lol

I know that Stan sells fittings that go from the banjo thread(like the one in the greddy adapter above) to a -6 an thread so it wouldn't be hard to do that at all. not the one pictured below. contact him for details! he's a very helpful guy.!

ha ha, found it for ya guys. this would thread right into the greddy adapter and is made for steel braided line. so for like $40 you get the line w/ fittings to feed your vtec w/ the greddy adapter.

kamaleon

thanks man.. im gonna check the prices tomorrow here locally then ill cocntact stan about his pricing to get the fittings and hose toghether.

One of theplaces i went in town quoted me arround $30 with 5 feet of steel braided lines and metal fittings.

RenoRacing

well if you need 5 feet that's not a bad price w/ fittings and all. I just spent $102 at summit just to get about 3/4 of my fuel line situated. Oil feed and return should be another $75 or so.

kamaleon

dotn forget brake lines
