Does anyone know if I need to keep the oil pressure sending unit? Also does anyone know off hand how long I need the feed line to be? 3' or 4'? The motor is a b18c1

 

I would keep the sender so you have a little security. Although by the time the light comes on it is too late. My line is 3', but I think it should have been 4'. 3' is a bit shy and if you want to install it right you will need to put a loop in the line to avoid extra pressure on the fitting in the block and mount the "T" fitting on the firewall. I don't have a loop and have never had any problems.

Thanks Doc. I thought 3' might be a little short.

 

use a piece of string to make a template from. You dont NEED the oil press sensor, if you dont mind starring at a oil light on the cluster all day long.

I left mine in, and added an aftermarket oil pres guage.

 

The reason I asked if I needed it.. I plan to get one of the tuner toyz fittings but they are on vacation. instead of buying all the tees and stuff to do it one way then doing it another. if I could just put the line right on the block temporarily..

 

sure could

 

i think the loop was intended for people who crammed a nsbt fitting in the bspt hole on the block. any stress would make it a lot more vulnerable than if it had the correct fitting to begin with. extra insurance is always good tho.

 

I just ordered my feed line from mcmaster. $38.. I will have a bspt fitting in the block.. a 24" stainless line to the firewall and a tee there. Then a 48" line to the turbo and a 45* going into that. I also like having the tee mounted away from the block for saftey sake. I'm going to use the pressure sending unit still.
