I have a regular BWR oil sandwhich plate with 3 1/8 npt ports. My question is can I use this for lsvtec. I know you need a - 6 an feed. Can you use a 1/8 to -6 converter?

Will the 1/8 be enough. I see on the Golden eagle kit the fitting is much larger. But other lsvtec kits use the oem oil pressure sensor port which is 1/8".

I am using a 1/8 to -6 converter, but I drilled all of my fittings out as much as I can. I couldn't go too large, but its a decent bit bigger than they were...

tiemze

interesting, what made you decide to drill them?

F22Master

More volume.

Maybe they would have been fine undrilled, but can more oil hurt?

I'm sure not. But just wanted to clarify, r u using a sandwich plate?

F22Master

No I am not. I am using the stock oil pressure sender location. But still, a 1/8 npt fitting is an 1/8npt fitting, no matter where it is getting its source from

Oh ok was just wondering if there was a differnece with using a sandwich.

F22Master

There shouldnt be. The oil pressure at both locations is pretty much identical, and since it has to pass through the same size orfice in either location, flow will be the same.

Ok I think I might go for it.

I'll just get this kit

And a 1/8 npt tap for 5 bucks. Already got dowels from my old gsr. Nevermind apparently ls stud holes are smaller than their vtec counterparts so I'll need new dowel pins
