Oil Pressure Gauge Adaptors

[carl h]

well ive got my hands on some defi gauges from nengun and one of them is an oil pressure gauge.

now in the manual it says that i can get an adaptor so i can retain my stock oil pressure switch and also run the gauge but over here stateside bspt is rare as is, so im kinda up the creek without a paddle.

anyone know where i can get a proper steel fitting so i can keep my idiot light and also use this gauge?

thanks.

Won't Nengun have them?

Otherwise, check Enzed (www.enzed.com.au) or Pirtek (www.pirtek.com.au) - they might be able to help you out.

BTW, I think they'll be brass, not steel.

suprisingly nengun didnt show them on the site anywhere, otherwise i would have ordered one with the gauges, go figure.

not quite, looking for one that screws into the block like the stock idiot light adaptor does.

im planning on adding an external oil cooler to my 20 and i dont want to have 2 sandwitch adaptors on the tree, seems like that would be asking for trouble.

its 1/8 npt just go to a place that sell earls, speedflow etc fittings and they can sell you one

are you sure about that?

everywhere ive read states that they are 1/8"bspt not npt.

i'll be picking up my T piece from enzed tomorrow, so i'll let you know

if ya have a spare oil pressure switch kicking round or u can take the old one out take it down to auto one or another parts store an match it up to the T piece. watch out but cos im pretty sure its a tapered thread aswell. i picked one up for $17.

[Coupe-This]

need to know the thread size guys, urgently

you can get these fittings at any pirtek or enzed

[carl h]

the thread is 1/8" bspt, do not try to put a npt thread in it else you will cause damage.

im still on the lookout for a proper gauge adaptor...

Is that what you are talking about? Scroll down to the second last line of products. Theres an oil filter mount next to the chrome bezels.

[carl h]

more like the brass tee bit that has bspt male and female ends but the center hole is tapped for npt which is no good....

i could run a sandwitch plate but i want to add an oil cooler to the car and i dont think that stacking sandwitch adaptors is a good idea.

Carl,

What about this...

http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/trboil.html

about half way down... says Oil Pressure Orifice... 1/8" male to 1/8" female NPT... Sounds right?

[Craved]

what is the thread on the oil pressure sender unit?

if they are NPT thread, doesn't look like you could put the sender in there ( not enough room)

maybe run a 45 degree elbow from the NPT fitting out to the sender.. so its more of a Y fitting

i'll be picking up my T piece from enzed tomorrow, so i'll let you know

so i thought i'd ask considering its been over 2 months if you got your adapter and which one it was?

unfortunately not

the RB30 build has been delayed. was looking for this thread the other day actually..

now i have fixed up my daily driver, i'll head out and get them.

will also depend on what guage sender you have and the thread it has on it.

the links above only had the T piece as 1 NPT and 1 BSP..

have to check what thread type the autometer oil pressure sender uses, and i need 3 outlets too

1 for std pressure sender

1 for autometer guage sender

1 for VCT oil feed for rb25 head.
