I am installing my turbo and a oil pressure gauge. The blue fitting is going into the back of the block and the compression fitting is for the gauge. The nipple is for the oil feed line.

Does this look okay? I haven't seen anyone using a cross just tee's. Just wondering if it is too much stuff or something. Another problem is the blue fitting is NPT if I screw it into the block will I mess up the threads. I just want to get the car running for now and I will order the correct parts and replace them later on. Nobody in my area carries these fittings in BSPT

 

Dont run all that off the block. Run it to the firewall and go from there.

 

u mean brace the cross tee block to the firewall and run a line from the engine block to the cross tee, and hook everything up to that from the firewall? is this for safety reasons? so that like all the weight would just be hanging off the engine block and able to be broken off or something?

 

what u have in ur picture would work, BUT, what about vibration? that might be to much to hang off the block.
i agree with portenio78 on running a line to it. i have the same setup.

 

yea that is a bit much to hang off the block. it will work but could start leaking later.

get a sandwich adaptor for your oil filter or run one line from the pressure sensor location to your 4 way adaptor and mount that on the firewall.

platinum.

 

Here is a pic of my setup....under the Golden Eagle vaccum manifold. Hope this helps buddy.

 

For god sakes dont run it like that! I have seen this fitting brake off in the block literally dozens of times!

If you care about your block you will only put a bspt fitting in there. You can use an NPT fitting and NEVER take it out but Id recommend the bspt. Once you thread and un-thread the NPT in there, the hole is pretty much permanently damaged and will never be the same. BSPT AND NPT fittings will leak from that point on.

You should NOT have that hanging off your block! It WILL brake off in there and you will have to retap and use some jb weld to fix it.

Here is what my setup looks like. this goes to the block and this is where all the oil is distributed. The plug on the end is where the oil feeds the turbo. I ran a -4 line to the T's and -3 to the turbo. I can sell you the fitting you need for your block and overnight it to you for around 20$. PM Stan aka: Flamenco-T if you need this as he has these parts in stock im sure.

 

Here is the answer to your problem!

TRUST ME you want to do it right the first time!

PS:Dont put that stock oil switch back in your block either.

How do you fix the hole if this is the case?

EDIT: Also, is there a fitting that you use to put the BSPT oil sender in and then put that in the T-fitting on the firewall? Because how would you connect the oil sender to a T-fitting that is NPT?

 

nevermind I found it after doing a few more searches,

 

autometer carries that BSPT fitting.. pretty much any auto parts stor carries autometer and can order it for you.

 

Autometer carries the adapter fitting that I have pictured above??

 

1/8npt will be fine.i have used it several times on mine and customers car and never had one problem.what you have will work,i just wouldn't run it any longer than you have to.i hate running those brass fittings,especially when you have that much on them because they break really easy after a while.if it breaks and you don't notice it,you could have a bad problem that could have been avoided.if it does break,it is very easy to get out with an ease-out tool

How do you fix the hole if this is the case? I used an NPT fitting in that hole and believe it's leaking. I've heard there is a lock tite products that you apply to the fititng/bolt/whatever and when you stick it in the hole that it'll seal up the threads (basically repairing them). Have you heard of this? Any other suggestions/ideas?

 

i dont think think u can do that with the oilfilter in the way

hers what i did

tunertoys block fitting
plug one hole
use one to feed to firewall
and use a T on firewall for oilpressureguage sender+turbo feed

stock oil pre goes into back of tuner toys fitting

 

Yea I've got the BSPT to NPT adapter and the tuner toys T-fitting. It's just that I'm wondering how to fix the thread in the hole on the back of the block. I have an NPT in the original hole and WhiteSmoke said earlier that if you put an NPT in that hole then both NPT and BSPT would leak from then on. Sooo I need to figure out some way to fix the threads so I can use the BSPT to NPT adapter in the block.

 

throw some rtv copper silicone on it...and thread it in...make sure not to get any in the oil passage tho...a nice skim coat will help it seal up

 

w00t! And you think that'll be enough to "fix" the threads in the block so that I can use that BSPT to NPT fitting.....and do the oil lines the right way this time haha?

 

I just wnet throught the same problem, only mine was a 3 way fitting. I tried to pre-assemble it and when I went to screw it into the block, my oil pressure sender would hit on the oil filter.... had to install the fitting first then the pressure sender.

Yes I do work for AF-Performance, but do not use this one example as any indication for what type of cars come out of that place. I am quite **** with making everything on my car perfect. I knew when I first put the NPT fitting in that hole the first time back in September '05 that it was not the right one.

I did not have time to care about not having the correct adapter because I had to roll the car out of the shop that night, and with as stress as I was that day...one wrong fitting was just about the least of my worries. The car was down all summer getting completely rebuilt (because I wanted to, not because it was blown or something). I had to get the car done so I could go back to school (Univ. of Cincinnati) the next morning.

So here I am today...going back through when I have time and correcting my error (that I knew at that time). So don't use this as any indication of AF-Performance's work, as I will always go the extra mile whether it's customer service or performing any type of work.

Things are just completely different when you do work on your own car that you have to be able to drive home either that night or the next morning.

I can vouch for AF, Ricky in there was extremely helpful and even sent me some parts on a Saturday at his cost.....
