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.
Gil

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?

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.
