Need Help with Greddy Oil Block Adapter and STRI
Hey guys I just installed three STRI Gauges in my center cluster
Here is what I have:
-STRI DSD SLM II; Boost, Oil Temp, and Oil Pres.
-Greddy Oil Filter Sensor Attachment
I test fit everything before hand so I won't have any problems installing items. When I went to test fit the 1/8 PT sensors for the oil temp and oil pres in the greddy block adapter they will not screw in very far (4 complete turns which is about 3/8"). My questions is should they screw in further by hand or is that far enough? On the final install I will use teflon tape and I am hoping that won't make it harder to install.
See the pics below:
STRI Imperial Oil Pressure Gauge @ 1/8 PT and Greddy Oil Block adapter
Rear of greddy adapter... note the picture break down of the parts... the 3 threaded holes are 1/8 pt, 1/8 pt, and M12.
When it is hand tight into the adapter:
I hope to have this setup tonight..... Thanks for the help guys!!

Yeah just like their Turbo kits, odds are the fittings they use are BSPT, British Standard, which is a pain in the butt because its very close, but not close enough.
So your 1/8NPT sensor will not fit the 1/8BSPT on the adapter.
You can also get something like this.

Heres some dude with the exact same issue. Apparently you can get a sensor with a 1/8BSPT.
