Who sells this stuff as a kit. I need to get it as I'm too busy to be shopping around for the stuff separately.

TIA

people sell it online for 100-150 the best thing to do is go to a local hydraulic shop that has hoses tell them u need a 1/8 npt to 4an fitting then about 3 feet of steel braided hosing then u need another 4an hose fitting and then a 4an tee with 2 females and one male side. you need an adapter for a 4an to 1/8 npt female to thread in the oil psi sensor(the probably will have a 3 female 3 and just get an adaptwer for it). Next you'll need another 4an hose end run the stainless steel lin to another 4an hose end then to a male 3/8npt if you r running it to the block. thats it. be sure to get like 3 ft of ss line and measure where to cut when u mount the psi sensor on the firewall. It all cost me less than 35 bucks and works awesome. email me if u need some info on the project GG luck the engine is awesome.

Isn't it BSPT that you need?

well if your talking about the ls/vtec there r 2 ways to run the oil line to feed the vtec oil supplythe is the 3/8 npt on the back of the head on the distributor side. all you have to do is remove the plug and put in the line. there is another one on the side of the head, again on the distributor (i think the one your talking about), is 1/8 npt just use the coresponding fittings for the hole you want to run it off. i used the back hole just because the line wouldnt get in the way.

it is npt national pipe thread

yeah, if you have a domestic car. The BSPT is the metric pipe thread. Go ahead and use the NPT if you're a cheap bastard but i'll warn you now. Tighten it too much (maybe because you noticed its leaking) and snap - you'll be cryin'. They're off by only one thread so it'll seem as tho they match. Some people don't have problems but why f#$k with it, just get the BSPT fittings. you'll need either two 1/8" bspt or one 1/8" bspt and one 3/8" bspt. any good hydrolic store will have them.

PS - if you really need it and don't wana put one together - i can get you one, just email me.

I'm gonna try and do this tomorrow on my day off. Thanks for the warning, I appreciate it. I'll let you know if I'm unsuccessful and need your help.

i used npt thread on my cylinder head and it worked fine i test threaded it first then used some teflon to cover the threads to make a good seal. getting the npt is not cheap it works fine and i havent had any problems yet. but since the head is metric then it would probably be more wise to use the bspt. i only just recently found that out.
