block is a d16z6 and I see the factory sender unit right above the oil filter. This engine was never in the car, so was anything ever connected to that?

What is the best way to hook up my oil feed line and my oil pressure gauge to this setup?

Do you remove the stock sender unit?

Pics would be great!

 

I've heard you throw a code without the stock moron meter in place(could be wrong though,), just buy two tee's and hook up both.

 

yank the sensor and put a tee in...i drove my turboed honda for 2or 3 weeks with the sensor in my house and the oil light never came on................................................ ..................................

 

get a greddy oil block adapter leave your stock sending unit in place the block adapter goes in between the oil filter and the block

 

anyone try putting the stock sensor in one of the oil journals in the head, on the dizzy saide there are 2 allen screws u can pull out and they are high pressure oil.. i figure the head is going to loose oil pressure first why not put it there, and have the oil feed on the back of the block

This method is the best way. you retain your stock sender. you have 2 1/8" ports and one big one that could be reduced if needed. You won't have any problems with fittings cracking from too much weight in them (like you do with Ts). Much cleaner and cheaper than an ugly distribution block on the firewall, I hate those. it's easier to get to the filter too, at least on a d series. anyway, yes get an adaptor plate. Someone posted one brand that is under 50$ on here recently...

this is the ugly bad expensive way^

 

sound like a easy choice for me.

which oil sandwich is cheaper? the greddy or GE

 

I wouldn't say it is ugly or expensive. The cost for the fittings is only like $15, and the only other thing you need is the line.

 

or instead of getting the greddy adapter you get the "ghettody" adapter by going to home depot and getting a 1/8 NPT female T from the plumbing section for 65 cents.

most of them are brass but you find some in steel if you make the trec to ACE hardware....

i thought the whole reason for the greddy adaptor was to relive stress on the components.

Supposedly people have their oil sendors crack?

Whatever the reason I just need to hook up oil feed and oil pressure sensor

And a Greddy adapter is the pretty, good, cheap way?

$45 for everything in that thread and your block is safe...you also can add another sensor without having to jack up the car.

Why add BLING when you cant see it anyway...Greddy Oil adapter...useless IMO.

The cheaper adapter you can find at ANPLUMBING.com But it only has one port and its like 3/8" so you have to buy some extra fittings to size it down to 1/8".

Does anyone have any more information on this?

My OBD1 throws no codes with no oil pressure sender.

 

Your car won't throw a code with no sender because its a ground.

I have the same fitting but instead of having one port on the side it has another one for a boost gauge. so a total of three holes. If you want i can send you a pic.

Huh? Oil pressure boost? This is a fitting for OIL, not air.

 

ok, well maybe not expensive (mine was free so..) but it sure does look gay to have lines and fitting and senders all hanging off your firewall. I like having the least amount of aftermarket crap bolted to my motor, or at least visible.

I was just thinking, the $50 adapter and $45 for a feed kit. Not bad considering it fixes all of the problems people have with block Ts and the unnecessary complexity of a firewall mounted T/sender/oil feed junkcluster. Plus the filter adapter plates have the capacity to add oil coolers and other senders easily.

 

Run a line from the block to the firewall. Then you can install your oil pressure gauge, stock sender, and turbo feed line from there.



Just like this, but instead of the LS/Vtec line, you can install your oil pressure gauge sender there.



Best of all, the kit with the lines assembly and BSPT adapter is $ 25 shipped.
