Im trying to find a t-piece fitting so i can run my aftermarket oil pressure and temp gauges. Pressure is fine as the sensor fits in the block, the temp is the issue as it uses a M12 by 1.25 thread.

I went to enzed and they do nothing in M12 by 1.25, which is annoying as if they dont have anything wtf are you meant to do?

Surely there is a place that sells or can make a fitting for me?

Thanks for the replies.

Unfortunently that fittings the wrong way, I need a female m12 by 1.25 fitting.

The block fitting is 1/8, same as my new pressure fitting on my guage, but the thread on my temp sensor is m12 by 1.25.

I basically need a t-piece that has 1/8 male to the block, and 1 1/8 and 1 m12 by 1.25 female fittings.

Its annoying that these arnt common, even ebay has failed to bring something up.

So your saying youve got oil temp nd oil pres sensor and the temp is 1/8 npt and pressure is same as block which is 1/8 bspt. Go to enzed get a 1/8 npt female tee, then get a 1/8 npt to bspt converter male to male for block to tee.and also another converter male to female for your pressure gauge and the temp will just go into the tee.

Now i wpuldnt trust those two sensors hanging off the block with a tee as they might snap off from viberations so i would do one of two things.

1 get a oil filter sandwich plate and stick the temp sensor into that and put press srensor intp stock location.

2 get a braided line with one end screwed into block where and the other end into the tee setup as above then mount the tee secured somewhere so as to not suffer from vibratipns. All the stuff you need can be found at enzed.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
