hey guys i got a earls 516erl sandwhich plate. im trying to adapt my oil pressure sender however i have a feeling that it is only for oil cooler adaption. it seems to have a ball and spring type valve in it with a trench type bit for oil to travel through. have i got the wrong adaptor or will this work for a oil pressure sender

That is a thermostat and as you said, for an oil filter. Does it not have any other ports? They are made of aluminum, take it to your nearest pirtek and have them tap a port on it. Very easy job and you've got a thermostat oil sandwich plate if you decide to get a cooler. Just make sure there plugged up so you dont squirt oil.

ok because yeah it has 2 ports one with a arrow to show whichway the flow. and the other which is obvisouly return. however it is not like the sender adaptors where the whole thing is hollow it is just solid with these 2 ports and a ball bearing type thing(thermostat)

so what you are saying is get a port drilled and tapped into the side of it for a sender

That's just a sandwich plate (no thermostat) for fitting an oil cooler. You could plug it and drill and tap for a sender unit. What's wrong with your stock location?

Why would a regular sandwich plate have a spring and ball with oil path?

yeah thats what i was thinking why would it have a oil path and ball and spring stock location is to hard to get to to fit a aftermarket oil pressure guage. reason im doing this is because its in a vl and i need a oil pressure guage

Why would a regular sandwich plate have a spring and ball with oil path?

For non return to keep the line to the oil cooler full of oil when the engine is turned off.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
