I currently have a turbo ITR motor (with a cracked sleeve ), that's running a Stealthmode firewall tee kit off of the oil pressure sender fitting, and is tee'd off with the electrical oil pressure gauge and -3 AN oil feed line.

I'm switching to a LS/VTEC, so naturally I'm going to pick up the GE kit. My question is - obviously I'm going to run the -6 AN line to the head, like so:



But what about that other small fitting on the other side of the sandwich plate? Is that supplied by GE? Is it a -3 AN fitting, or 1/8 NPT?

I'd like to run both feed lines for the turbo and head off of the sandwich plate, and then run the oil pressure gauge directly off the block (or extend it out to the firewall for safety).

Thoughts?

 

The other side of the oil plate is a 1/8 NPT thread. You put whatever fitting you want in it. I run both feeds off the ge adaptor, but im having oiling problems, im going to put my turbo feed from the stock oil pressure sending unit, and run my firewall sensor kit off the ge adaptor.

Or you could pick up another brass tee and the -6 line and you're done.

Steve, isn't that going to be too many tee's coming off of the oil pressure sender?

Any pics of this setup? Any oiling issues for the head or turbo at all?

I feel like my oil pressure gauge throws a wrench in the cleanliness of routing the oil line setup.

 

If you're worried about a tee off the oil pressure sensor just run another tee at the firewall kit.

Okay, now back to work

That's already how I have it routed!

Do they come with the GE LS/VTEC kits? If not, what's the part number and price for that individual fitting?

You only have one T on the block, the block fitting. Run another T off the T on the firewall kit and you'll have enough ports to do what you're trying to do. As far as oiling issues, you only have one oil pump, so no matter where you pull it from, or how many ports you have, it ends up being the same in the end.

I use the GE kit, no problems ( approx. 2 years). I used to do the T fitting, to many leaks. just my 0.02

Sounds good. The only reason I created this thread is that I have three things that need oil:

- Turbo
- Head
- Oil pressure gauge

If it were just two items, it'd be easy to just run the GE kit or leave my current setup as is (Stealthmode fitting off the block, and oil pressure gauge T'd off on the firewall).

 

i also run the GE kit with a turbo feed line off the other port of the sandwich plate
i put a tee in the stock oil pressure hole so i could install a sender unit for the oil pressure gauge. no leaks and no problems

 

James Brown, is dead.

I've been using stealthmode's block fitting for over 3 years, doesn't leak a drop and it works perfectly.

 

its not sa sales pitch your the one with the sales pitch i have seen many t fittings brake if you have luck with them cool but t fittings braking and leaking is the reason we made a kit in the first place and if our sandwich plate is installed right there is no way its going to leak. i never said your kit leaked i never seen your kit i said taping the back of the block and using a t fitting is not the right way to di it because there prone to leaks

What tee fittings are these? Cheap ones from someone's local hardware store?

Stealthmode's fittings don't break or leak either, stop generalizing the fact that you saw some cheap fitting break means that all types will.

 

Hey, I can see a market for the oil sandwich. Installed correctly, I'm sure it's a great product.

There is not a "better" way to get oil. I use the T off system because it works great. Giving I dont use brass fittings u find at home depo. Either way both would work but ill go with the T unit. I dont want to have two plates in between my oil filter "oil cooler & GE block"....

Mine leaked like crazy. It doesn't take a genius to install them does it?
