Default location of oil pressure source

does anyone know the exact location of where to plumb for oil, on the back of a b18b block...im installing a turbo...i found the oil sensor with the plug, its next to the filter, but where do you put the "t" where does it screw into

do i need to take my intake manifold off to do it?

if anyone has a picture of what it looks like, or can tell me the exactly where to do it, id be very greatful

this is a pic i found of a b16 block...


but it shows the tee going into a different spot, and the sensor above the oil filter...and i know the location is different from the b18b because its next to the filter on my car...

That looks like the knock sensor above the oil filter, the T is in the right spot...but it's better to put the T on the firewall and run a line down to the block so it doesn't break off...too many horror stories...

Run a line (nylon or ss braided) from the oil pressure sending unit hole on the block (it is a 1/8" BSP fitting, you have to get a converter to convert it to 1/8" NPT) to a Tee on the firewall (mount it well), the idea is to not get vibration on the mounting point on the block or you will experience broken connectors and leaking oil.

I'm sure someone has got a pic.

you should look at this...more of a constant source of presure.

I think someone on this board is selling them for under $20.
