What is the proper thread type for the oil sensor in which we use for running oil to the turbo? There's been some debate on this question. Thanks.

1/8 BSPT per z10 engineering's block fitting page.

i have a simmilar adapter on my car, but i have threaded 1/8 NPT threads into the block no problems.

 

yeah it's 1/8" BSPT, i used one from http://www.McMaster.com

nice. i use mcmaster carr for studs on b series that have bolts only. i love that place.

 

I couldn't find 1/8" BSPT when I needed one (working overnight), so I tapped the block to become a 1/8" NPT thread to accept a -4AN --&gt;1/8"NPT fitting. After tapping the block, I cranked the motor to spit out oil and some metal bits, and did an oil change afterwards.

That's only if you cannot find a 1/8" BSPT fitting
