81419, Motofool's Oil Line - bolts' size & thread (please help)
Posted by gilee_8, Jan-14-05 05:34 PM
Sup guys.
I recently bought some more guages for fuel pressure and oil pressure gauge.
Fuel pressure I can handle since I had a mechanic installed, so it's easier.

For the oil pressure gauge, I have to TEE out for the sender for my oil pressure gauge, and I bought the Motofool Advance Oil Line Kit from Gottude 1.5 year ago for my custom turbo kit.

Currently my car is running with no problem, and I need to go get all the fitting and lines for my sender to connect into, but sadly Gottude.com is not available, I tried to contact motofool from AIM but he's been away for a long long long time.
And if I have to take the entire oil line, & fittings adaptors out, I will not have a car to drive to the shops to find the fittings and lines.

I searched the entire forum, going through motofool's post, my post, search for oil line kit. but they don't tell the size and threads for them. I know many of us here bought that oil like kit from Motofool, can someone give me some info here! Thanks alot guys.

I provided a picture below to give a clear understanding on what we are talking about here!



Thanks again guys.
I hope to get this all set and read to install by tomorrow afternoon!
Thanks guys!
I greatly appreciated.

The threads you are asking about are 4an. if you are trying to "t" off of that then good luck it will be a pain and a lot of money in fittings. you cannot use a regualar "T" with those threads, the do not seal like that. You must get a 4an "T".

Hi Super_Turbo_Talon, so what you trying to say?

It will be a pain to Tee off of that 4AN, so DON'T do TEE off of it?
You must get a 4an "T". Terry
or you trying to say mean GET a TEE 4AN and do it ???


So should I tee of of that 4AN? or just TEE off of that 3/8 NPT?

The reason I want to tee off of the 4AN is because I want to extend the oil-line for about a few inches from the 3/8" NPT Tee brass, then connect to a 4AN TEE (one to oil pressure sender) (one to the current oilline SS Braid line) and go to the turbo.
I want extend it instead of having another TEE at the current 3/8" NPT TEE is because I heard if I mount another TEE and sender there, the weight will be too much and might break off the TEE from the block.

Is it a good idea? Thanks guys.

well if you want to do that then that is fine. you can run a brained 4an line from the back of the motor at the "T" you have there, to a 4an female "T" then run a second 4an line to the turbo. at the 4an "T" to can buy the correct adapters to change it over to a NPT fitting so you can use your sender. by the time you are done you are looking at 50.00 worth of lines and fittings.


I would buy a Aluminum fitting like the star kit uses and tap another 1/8" NPT fitting for the new sender, thats what i did. The brass is too soft and breaks easily

That looks alot like the HRC oil line kit. You have a couple of options for putting tee in here. You can put it between the stock sender and the "l" shaped block (what I did), or you can put it between the motor and the "l" shaped block, or build upwards and put it between the -4an adapter and the "l" shaped adapter block.

I thought the stock sender was useless, why can't you just run your oil press. off it's location on the NPT tee?

That's what mine looks like pretty much except my stock sensor and eletronic sender swapped spots.

Thanks gusy for the input!
I will do mine similar to the above guys and forget about the Braid line..coz cost TOO much.

But I will make some supporter to support that HUGE TEE, adapter and etc to the block. so it won't break off.

Thanks again.

I had mine like that until it snapped off in the block. I figured it was too much stress on it.

That is basically the same way I have mine setup, but with out the stock sending unit.

Do you have that braced some how? I would be worried that it might break were it screws into the block from the weight and vibrations.

that's what I worries... too heavy...
so from bumps and so on, I worry it will crack, and LOW OIL, then SPUN bearing....

any other one has this happened before?
