Oil feed line clearance problems
I have a 1999 honda civic ex that i as installing a Apexi turbo kit onto. the brass 3-way adapter puts the oil feed line in a bad spot and a big wiring harness hits it. If i move that harness down it blocks the oil filter. If i move it up it rests on the line and puts pressure on it. Its an extreme pain to remove the sensor/line/fitting to do something else, so i was wondering what you guys did. i heard the greddy kit has the same problem and all i need is a quick solution! thanks for the help.

I used a NPT barbed fitting to fuel hose, to another barbed fitting going into a tee. The tee has output for the sensor and oil feed. I replaced them asap with stainless to keep from chafing or any damage.

make your life easy and have a vtecconversion/turbo feed kit overnighted to you from goldeneagle. I had a tee set up first and it ended up breaking in my block and oil went everywhere. Its the best 90 bucks ive rever spent on my car!!!

Re: (BoostedSOHC)

contact me if you're interested. This set up will not be in any way of your filter or wiring harness...many here has the same setup

Re: (Flamenco-T)
my goid flamenco thats so ****** hard when u do it with the engine in the car..and the stupid sensor wouldnt even reach that...
anyhow you could do 2 things..olike the dude said buy that vtec kit which is what i am doing this 2nd time around turboing my car..really easy,.none of that oil pressure sensor stress related health problems
or instead of a Tee you can use a L or 90 degree fitting..anf **** the sensor, cause its a peice of **** anyways

Re: (GRTechnologies)
that pancake for inbetween the oil filter and oil cooler. how much that thing cost?
i got a jimmy rigged cnc one made for me by a friend at a cnc shop, but it is really cheezy. cost me around 60 bux cuz we went through a couple pieces of alum. the work and machines are free to use as long as we dont stop production.
so really. it looks like Golden Eagle makes it??
How much does it cost? Do you sell em? or Just seen it?
thanx

notice the silver aluminum fitting between the block and the Tee ?
that's the BSPT to NPT adapter, it threads perfectly into the block. it'll take syou 15 mins max to do this.
