You'd still need to get some 1/8 NPT plugs for the spots you don't use, an NTP to BSP adapter for your dummy light (unless you switch to a domestic one)

and everything else. I dont see how you'd save any $$ with that.

glowshifts stuff seems to be pretty good, im running a few of their gauges and so are a couple of my friends. That adapter wont really make things cheaper, but it does make running the lines easier.

That's a great price for that unit. Looks like a knock-off of the GReddy part, but with NPT threads instead of GReddy's BSPT threads. Should work fine for running all NPT stuff. SlowS13 is right about re-using your stock sending unit. It's BSPT, so you'll need to use it only in the stock location.

why would i need to mess with my stock sending unit at all? its above the oil filter and that doesnt reall look like its too big i dont think it would be a problem, i think it even comes with plugs to plug off what you dont use.


did dudes friend that leaked bad put a gasket between it and the block? i doubt it comes with one, you could probly rip one off a old oil filter

so theres no way this thing could lower your oil pressure or anything dangerous? do civics have 18mm or 20mm oil filter threads? because they sell both

I seen them, I am getting one for the DOHC sold my old cobblefuck brass pain in the *** to make and find all the fittings thing. Seems like it is easyer if your going to use steel line for your oil lines
