OK, I have a 91 crx si with full Z6 swap. I'm putting on a Y8 intake manifold on soon. While its off, I might as well run my turbo feed line and hook up my oil gauge. I'm not putting on the turbo for a couple months but figured I'd run these lines now because it would be a heck of a lot easier than to do it later on down the road when the manifold is on.
What I need from you guys is what items I will need and how would I do this. I know I need an adaptor BSPT I think for the sender on the block? Also my oil gauge is electrical, how would I hook this up. Also, what can I use to plug up the oil feed line because it won't be used yet. Thanks in advance guys!

 

check your IM. I sell complete oil line kits for any kind of turbo.

Are you hooking up an oil temp gauge or oil pressure gauge? if its oil pressure then yeah you hook it up there. if its oil temp you can buy an oil pan drain plug replacement from greddy for $10 that attaches to your oil temp gauge to give you an accurate reading.
you probably already knew this, just thought i would make sure.

as for plugging up your oil feed line, it seems like there should be some sort of female type of adapter that you could put on the end of the line to lplug up the end.
maybe im wrong but it doesnt seem good to me that you would be having oil going through the line and then sitting there, with really no way for the oil to return to the oil pan. who knows

i've also read for you not to tighten the oil pressure sending unit/adapter too tight or you could cause a hairline crack in your block.

It's an oil pressure gauge. I would probably plug up the oil sending line right at the adaptor and then when I want to go turbo, I take out the plug and hook up the stainless steel oil line.

Flamenco, how do your setups that you sell compare to like an "AN Fittings" setup? Is their a write up as to how I connect all the parts?

that's why you need to get a BSPT to NPT adapter, the thread on the block is a BSPT, and most tees with 1/8" NPT have NPT threads on it, therefore, trying to force it, you can jeoperdize the threads by just missing a thread

Dude. just get the oil feed kit from Golden Eagle. It was made for these situations. That, 3 feet of -3 line, and a fitting for -3 to whatever the hole is on the oil feed thing and you're set. Remove nothing except the oil filter, and the big hollow bolt that holds it on. Easy Peasy.
