Is it that steel line behind the oil filter that looks like a brake line ? Is this the one I'm supposed to T off of ?
Just want to double check before I pull something I shouldnt.

-Edit Or is it under teh filter, that huge fittign that looks like it takes a 7/8" wrench with a sensor coming out of it....the one with a coolant line and a bracket in the way

 

I just use a sandwich plate off the oil filter location...way easier

 

yea a sandwich plate adapter works wonders. allows for oil temp/pressure as well.

 

Dont have a sandwich plate =/ I bought the fittings to T off the pressure sensor.

 

buy a sandwich plate then

 

The local stores dont have those..and I'm trying to get this car together by this weekend

-EDIT Yep, its the sensor under the filter, dug it up in the manual. Man is that gonna be a beyotch to get at

 

I would go with the sandwich plate. I know you want the car ready buy the weekend , but why go cheap. Why do you want it ready by the weekend

 

get one overnighted

 

Because I work this weekend. I'd rather drive my turbo'd Rx8 than my wifes POS mustang :P:

 

the oil line is a PITA to fit with the t-fitting. The sandwich plate is so much easier to put on and works much better. I have heard of people's t-fittings breaking and spraying hot oil all over their car, then finding their engine bay on fire.

 

good tip. i was going to use the "T" fitting. my Prosport sandwich adapter has 4 1/4" ports.

 

^yeah it's got enough room for the gauges...makes things way easier...plus it's easy to revert to stock if needed

 

what size is the hose fitting? hopefully 1/4", that would be easiest.

 

I am not sure on that actually.....my turbo kit came with it, which was a plus

 

GRRR ....out of curiosity. What size plate goes on our car ?

 

M20x1.5

Yea, gonna try Fluid, they are in Orlando..about 2 hours from me so assuming they have it in stock I'll have it quickly.

GFD I hate getting behind schedule

 

you can try to contact him for a local pickup. i did that when i bought my gauges.

 

def need a sandwich plate...and fluid should have it in stock..good ppl over there!
