Default Lsvtec feed line

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...

More volume.

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

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

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

http://www.ebay.com/itm/331225977960

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
