i'm trying to figure out the best way to run the feed line to the turbo on a d16z6
i know it's a bad idea to run it from the oil pressure sensor on the back of the block to the front is there a port ,or a spot i can drill and tap out to feed it?
thanks in advance

tell me why its a bad idea to tee off the oil pressure sensor??

becasuse it's just not a good idea to have an oil line open to debris,no matter how small ,plus it would be a pain in the azz to run it from the back to the front

cmon dude, that just doesnt make sense. if you are afraid of the stock oil pressure port, get a snadwich adapter

Where is the open line?? there isnt one, and it isnt a pain in the *** to run the line from the back to the front 3 feet of braided stainless, a dual take off fitting to screw in place of the oil press. sensor, thanks for coming out. its that simple

Thats really the only spot to get filtered oil w/o drilling. I use an adapter to change from 1/8" BSPT to 1/4" NPT compression, run a flexable copper 3/8" OD tube to a brass Tee bolted to the bottom of the intake. One side goes to the turbo, one to the pressure gauge, and drill another hole in 1/8" BSPT for the stock sender unit.

I dislike sandwich adapters because the cheap ones bypass oil around the filter, and the decent ones cost way more than they should.

what is the best way to run it a hard 1/4in line under the distrubutor or a steel braded line from the tee to the feed?

dude, get an oil feed kit from fast-turbo or stealthmode and call it a day. you're over thinking it.

it's a bad habit of mine to over think and over engineer
