where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

ok so i know you put the oil feed line on the pressure sender, but there is no way i can get that ---- out.
i can't get to it, there is all kinds of stuff in the way.
i think i would have to take the head off to reach it.
any other ideas of where to put this thing.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, any place besides pressure sender.
 

you cant get to it from underneath the car? you could also do an oil filter sandwich if you had to

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, any place besides pressure sender.
 

ok so i got the sender off, but the reason i couldn't get it off will not allow my tee to fit.
the zc has some kind of oil cooler on it, plus the black box pcv thing.
i've decided to go to a place tomorrow and get an extender so the tee is a few inches further from the block.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, any place besides pressure sender.
 

I have a obd1 dohc sc and all i did was you a T and hook up my oil feed and the sending uint back up and put the oil filter back on

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, any place besides pressure sender.
 

does the obd1 dohc zc have an oil cooler where the filter goes? and the black pcv box?
cause there is no way in hell it'll fit without an extension. i'll take a pic after i get the extension and everything in.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, any place besides pressure sender.
 

if it wont fit without an extension (which i disagree with) you should run a hose from the sender to your firewall, and put the T there. If you have a long erection sticking out of the back of your block its gonna rattle itself out and take your threads with it

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, any place besides pressure sender.
 

I would agree. I have seen these break off at the block as well. I can't imagine it would be all to easy to dig the threaded portion out of the block.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, any place besides pressure sender.
 

it's cool that you disagree, but if you want to come over and look at it you can.
so you say i need to run a line to my firewall and put the tee there.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, any place besides pressure sender.
 

here are some pics of what is in the way. you can see the coolant line coming out to the left of the pressure sender hole. that is a hard line and will not move for a tee to fit. on the other side is the black box with hoses coming out of it. below is the oil cooler that came on the dohc zc. all i need is about 2 inches of extension for the tee to clear all that ----.
so you guys say no extension, and just go with a firewall mount.

why does it look like to me that you have lots of room? Maybe your not used to putting big things in little places :1

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

trust me it doesn't fit. if i didn't have to thread it in the hole it would fit fine, but i can't spin it around to thread it.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

which way are you putting it in? With the tee oriented so neither port faces straight out? Turn it the other way and thread it in there without any other fittings in it, then put the fittings in.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

ditch the oil cooler you do not need it

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

post pics of your adapter you are ------- something up.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

I had the same problem with mine :( So I went to the hardware store and rigged up a couple 90 degree fittings until I got it to clear, then ran my feed off that. Its going to break at some point but I dont daily drive the car... Ill get one of those oil distribution blocks soon enough

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

here is a pic of it mocked up.

Get the stealthmode/tuner toys fitting and be done.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

if i was gonna spend money on it i'd just get an oil sandwich plate.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

get an exstention :1

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

i want to be cheap, but i don't want my ---- breaking.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

I ran a line from there to up high then made my T there
Look

came over the top of the engine

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

here is another option. use the oil pump bolt for the feed.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

yeah i think i'm just gonna endup running a line to the firewall then putting the tee there.
just gotta make a trip to the plumbing store

that oil pump bolt is kinda cool

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

it has to be a flexable line to the firewall or it will brake
Mine is all hardline but it only atatches to the engine so there is no flex in it

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

i'm not cool enough for hardline. everything i do is braided hose

This is what I used and the ---- worked mint.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

I dont see what the big deal is my zc has the cooler on it and i had no problem puttin a T up in there, if you remove the oil filter you have all kinds of room to screw the tee in and once its in put the filter back on

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

never know... he might be like that bitch from seinfeld who had those HUGE MAN HANDS...

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

I guess my "ZC" is a USDM 89 D16A1 but yea even the standard T fitting from tunertoys wouldnt work. Basically I needed the 1/8 inch pipe spot to be a little farther out from the engine... Whats this oil pump fitting and why are they not more common? Id rather use that

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

i guess your zc is not a zc then is it? :1

and i do have big ass hands. i didn't say my hands didn't fit. i said the tee wouldn't fit
my paycheck was bigger then planned so i'm getting an oil sandwich

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

Huh... Thats pretty cool. I didn't know they made those

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

what i used in my set up and others is a line from the oil sender unit to the firewall and tee off from there. let me find you the parts list. its all from mc mastercarr.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, any place besides pressure sender.
 

is that what they call a Freudian slip? I know whats on your mind noobie :S

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

when i did my little brothers zc in his crx, i used the tunertoys/stealthmode fitting, the only way i could get it on was to take all of the fittings off, put the T on, then put the fittings on the T when it was screwed into the back of the block allready

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, any place besides pressure sender.
 

LOL and no word of a lie i was just in the adult material section checking out the viarga add.... hahahah noobie? u got 1 day on me pal, be proud.

OP: dont run a solid extension you will regret it!

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

i'm just gonna get an oil sandwich. my paycheck was more then expected.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

LOL nice

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

WHat you had made up looks like it would fit in really well. Just put it in there one piece at a time.

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

even one piece at a time it won't fit.
the hole that the oil line goes into is blocked by a coolant line for the stock oil cooler

Re: where to put dohc zc oil feed line, added pics
 

that looks like it should work.
