Ive been looking for the best way to hook up my oil temp and pressure gauge. I found this adapter on ebay and bought one. It came in today and Im very impressed! Just thought I would post the link for others.

Nice!! a product like this should be included in the Force Induction systems out on the market. ease of install is key with this mod. good find!

 

i have the greddy universal unit, purchased thru Z1auto

this one is a bit cheaper tho- post some install picts if you got the time!

 

Sorry for my ignorance on this, but what exactly is this? Is it a machined piece that fits between your oil filter and the engine that allows you to hook up probes for oil temp and pressure? Can you use this and plug 1 hole and run only 1 sensor there? I am thinking about buying either an oil temp or a fuel pressure sensor. Would this be where I connect the oil temp sensor? That makes the decision easier for the gauge, if this is in fact where the sensor would mount.

 

Yep thats what its for. It comes with two caps so you can just use one if needed.

 

I think I see. I guess I can do this! Here is a link to the GReddy one on Z1 Perfs sight.

OOOOOOOHHHHH. I was reading on the Ebay link that this could be used as a SC oil feed line. I wonder who will be the first to try this. Too bad I already have a hole in my oil pan for the oil feed to my Vortech!

 

Sorry to hijack this thread a little,

I have the defi oil temp gauge and it's about 120~140F while cruising on hwy and about 190~200 when stuck in traffic. I'm in CA and weather is around 60~70...Is this normal or should I start looking for oil cooler...hot summer is comming and I want to get prepared. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

 

those are about the same temps I am getting.

unless you track or punish your car, i don't think an oil cooler is necessary, but than again, it might be better to be safe than sorry.

 

how did your car perform in summer time?

 

I went ahead and bought this thing today as well. Hopefully it will be here soon and I can get all installed prior to ZDayZ!

 

No need to run a cooler with those temps. 180-200° is ideal. You really don't need a cooler unless you see continual temps above 220°

 

if you're feeding from the oil pan your vortech must be burnt to hell by now haha

 

The oil feed line for the Vortech is supposed to be in the upper oil pan.

 

Thats the return line.

 

Well.. what the hell ever it is, there is a line going to the oil pan! This topic isnt about a Vortech line, its about a sandwich adapter!

 

Looks like a much cleaner way to supply oil to turbos and such, vs. the leak prone T adaptors everyone else is using. Nice find! Also such easy to install oil pressure or oil temp gauges.

 

Already ordered my sandwich adapter and will be ordering my oil temp gauges (oil and water) today or tomorrow. Hope to have all this up and running by ZDayZ!

 

ive had this adapter for little over 1 month now. great sheet!!

 

I have the Greddy one too.. One thing to keep in mind is that, as is the case with hte greddy unit for certain, this unit might too have 1/8" BSP (and not 1/8" NPT) threads for gaueg sender units. You MUST use a 1/8BSP to 1/8NPT adapter, which can be had from mcmaster.com (i believe that autometer may make one also, and it's very overpriced). HTH

 

According to the Ebay sight for this product, it says it has 1/8 NPT threads and according to Defi, the threads on their sensor are also 1/8 NPT. Thanks for the heads up Gurgen, but it looks like I am good to go!

BTW, what is a BSP thread?
