to hook up the oil feed line in the stock oil pressure sensor location i will need a 1/8 bspt to 1/8 npt adapter then a 1/8 npt to 4an adapter. then from there i go to 1-2 feet of steel braided line to a tee to mount on the firewall. the tee has to consist of 2 4an mounts and one 1/8 bspt for the oil pressure sensor. then from their 3-4 feet of steel braided line for the line from the tee to the turbo. am i supposed to run 90 degree swivel on the end of the steel braided lines. let me know if i am correct because i will be purchasing these parts tommorow. thanks for the help

What kind of line is that in the illustration?

RGAZ

nylon tubing.

I used Aeroquip steel braided AN4 for my setup.

i have tried looking on ANplumbing and bakerprecision....and i cant find any BSPT fittings....where are you guys getting yours ?

bigTom

how i would do it...

(a)1/8 npt to -4 (or -3 if u want) male/male
ss line to firewall
npt "t" fitting
plug the oil sender in one hole, and use 2 more of the npt fittings (a) on the other two holes... ont for the ss line... and then use another ss line to go to the turbo

NPT is the wrong threading though right ? i dont want to gnarl the threads on the block

dustin

it's BSPT but NPT worked for me.

Turbo B16A SI

I used a NPT fitting, The threads are slightly different, actually so similar that it is neglegant, Just use an aluminum fitting and you should be fine, I have no trouble at all with mine. I used all earls performance plumbing, -4. You can get everything you need from summit racking or anywhere for that matter. the actual threads in the block are tapered so everything works out just fine. finding a BSPT fitting can be done, actually you can find them in some cheap automotive oil pressure test kits, but I would say dont even bother

BSPT is easily found at Autozone in theri gauge adapter kits. It is brass and works just fine.

They are British Standard Pipe Taper or British Standard Pipe - Parallel. Either will work for you. The port is 1/8"

...i thought i understood what i was doing now after reading these post im kinda confused...or is what i copy n pasted correct for my d16z6 ??i purcahsed a used kit and it did not come with the tee or anything...somethign i found on someones how to install greddy kit


The next step is perhaps the simplest yet most frustrating portion of the install. It is the installation of the brass tee, to the engine block, and then connecting the oil sending unit and oil pressure line to it. There are a couple of straight unions that are 1/8 NPT. The inventory Greddy sends says there are 3 unions, but I had only 2 and only had use for 2. One of the unions is a brass colored and the other is silver. The brass colored one has a flanged end that is going to fit to the oil pressure line. I am not sure if Greddy sends the same color unions for all kits but make sure that the union with the flange is the one used to connect the oil line to the tee. .
