Multiple oil line T's
ok for my oil part of the turbo im in a bit of a dilema. i need to hook up my stock oil pressure sensor, 2 aftermarket ones and also obviosly the oil feed line. what i wanted to know was, would it be ok to have more then one T-fitting together so i can connect all those things? or this for example http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem with another T-fitting attached to it? or is it bad to have more then one of those kind of fittings? this isnt going to run right off the block, im gonna run an ss line from the block to the T-fitting and then connect everything from there. so am i good to go with more then one fitting or bad idea? thanks

Re: Multiple oil line T's (zexifiedlude)
stupid question, but why 2 aftmkt oil senders?
to resolve, you will need to use a sandwich plate. thats too much hanging off of the stock hole.

2 aftermarket oil senders cause im gonna have two gaues, i have an extra fuel pressure gauge and oil pressure gauge laying around and i wanted to put them to use, i have an idea of how to make em look real nice under the hood, so yeah one gauge is going under the hood, and the other is going to be inside with me....
whats a sandwich plate? i never heard of that...and about hanging off the stock hole, its not going to be, there is just gonna be one line running to the stock whole and then the spliters were then gonna go on the other end of the line

Re: Multiple oil line T's (zexifiedlude)
I would get a stealthmode firewall mount kit or all that crap will break off in the back of your block.
This is how mine is setup, except mine is run from the oil filter mount rather than the oil pressure sending thing:
oil pressure sensor hole --> firewall line--->Restrictor valve--->T for sensors--->turbo feed.

wow for the 3rd time IM NOT RUNNING IT RIGHT OFF THE BACK OF THE BLOCK, LIKE I SAID I WILL BE RUNNING A LINE TO THE FIREWALL AND THEN EVERYTHING FROM THERE. all i needed to know was if 3 tees instead of two was going to be too much or would it be ok?

thank you that is all i needed to know, but now u got me to think of one more thing lol, u just mentioned putting the restrictor on the oil feed line correct? so it would go ss line > tee > restrictor > oil feed line, right?
what if i were to run this http://www.stealthmodeperforma...shtml (with a male fitting on the other end) after the restrictor and then the oil feed line, then i could just use two tee's and this little thing, and wouldnt that mean that i could use one oil pressure gauge to monitor overall engiene oil pressure (in the cabin) and the second gauge to monitor only the oil pressure that the turbo would be getting
i just drew this up let me know what u think, and if im correct in how it would work and if it would work in general

Re: Multiple oil line T's (zexifiedlude)
Yeah that would work. I don't think you need the stock oil pressure sensor though, if i'm not mistaken it doesn't affect anything on the car, it's just an idiot light thing, and by the time it's flashed you're car is dead anyway.
Also, the stealthmode fitting is 1/8 bpt, it might leak if you have it connected to an NPT port...however I did the same thing, I just used tons of PTFE tape on the fitting and i'm going to hope it doesn't leak

yeah i heard before that u dont need the stock one but just incase for any reason i might as well just throw it on ther. i got room anyway. i noticed the bpt and npt im not nessicarily going to get the one from stealthmode, i just used it as an example. imma try to find a npt one cause all my other oil line stuff is npt...
but the guges will show diffrent pressures right?

Re: Multiple oil line T's (_gurusan_)
Not to knock your idea, but the oil pressure guage in the engine bay will be useless, less you need that little extra something to knock the panties off some ricer chick. You'd need to blip the throttle up to redline to see what pressure it's sending, and after the valve is set, it's just taking space. If you managed to find out what the oil PSI safety limit is for the CHRA seals from the turbo MFG's R&D team, then forget what I said.
As for BSP into NPT, its a very bad idea. Not all MFG's make the NPT begining threads the same size, I've seen it where half a thread barely makes it. A normal all-female tee would be a better idea.
I was going to make a brass 'oil distribution block' which would be like a Golden Eagle vacuum block, except for oil. I have the fittings to go from the [engine block's] 1/8BSP to 1/4 compression, to a 1/4" copper tube, to the brass block. The most versitle block would have the BSP threads for the OEM sensor, 1/4NPT for the inlet, then 2-3 1/4" or 1/8" NPT outlets. 1" square brass bar, I was thinking 2-3" long for all that.
If you're doing the remote oil filter, then you don't need to worry about the stock sensor.

i actually dont know what the right psi is. i think that as long as it dosnt go over 90 its fine. and the only reason im putting another gauge in the engine bay is cause i just have it sitting in my garage doing nothing so i might as well put it to use, i dont mind it takin the space

^ thats exactly what i want myne to look like, expect with a restrictor and one more little fitting after it.
but about the fittings, since u have to get a dspt to npt adapter for the back of the block, would you have to have to get the same thing to attach the stock pressure sensor to the t?

did u do it like i want to? if not, how did u hook it up to only read the turbo oil pressure??

I told you ..
firewall line--->Restrictor valve--->T for sensors (oil temp, oil pressure)--->turbo feed.

Re: Multiple oil line T's (zexifiedlude)
whats the best way to seal up the threads? I was generous with the PTFE tape, but am still paranoid of leaks. I don't plan on changing anything so if it's permanent that wouldn't bother me.
