as far as the oil fitting on the block, I know that Rob at Descendant sells one that is a direct fit for the tC block....one that dosen't cross thread. Give him a call!!

 

I went to my local ace hardware and they didn't have a 1/8th bpt to npt adapter...

The kit I'm installing is actually the descendant kit...I wonder if that fitting comes with the kit....I guess I'll have to ask when I call them to order this weekend.

 

unless you call a specialized shop people are ussually like what teh hell is a npt

what about home depot? in the air compressor isle

 

^^I'm gonna check after work today.

 

dont' ask for specifics, people ussually don't know. just go look for that section

 

^^^Yeah that's what I did, and they def. don't have it.

 

That part threads into the block perfectly! I just threw it on and had some leakage, but some teflon tape will take care of that...

 

where did you end up getting it at?

 

^^ the hyperlink that jamaican posted on the first page.

 

nice...think ill order a few to keep around if i cant find em cheaper els where

 

glad to hear it worked out for you. now we know what adapter to use and that it fits correctly.

 

if possible, can you take a pic of the of the connection to the block so everyone can get a visual?

 

Completely off topic. But Chris ur new engine bay > Old engine bay :O

 

i don't know if it's my work computer or what but when i go to vguages.com it says account suspended.

 

Yea i just clicked on it and it says account suspended as well
Well here is another link i found: http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/gro...D=PLUMADAPTBSP

As long as you go to google and type in BSP to NPT adapter or fittings, a few places will show up.

But yea the block is BSP threaded so we need these in bulk for the boosted scionlife community.

 

For what it's worth I would like to contribute my experience and solution

After visiting skinnayy to see his install I saw his feed line was plumbed 1/8 NPT into the block.

Despite reading this thread I tried to fit 1/8 NPT but could only get in 1/3 a thread before it came back out with a sliver of aluminum from the block.

I ordered the NPT-> BSPT from JEGS ( http://www.jegs.com/i/Auto+Meter/105/2269/10002/-1 ) and the damn thing still didn't fit.

I had a close look at the stock pressure switch and compared to the existing NPT adapters I tried and the JEGS, the Stock pressure switch appears to have a slight conical taper at the threadbottom, the JEGS piece was dead straight

The solution: I threaded the JEGS through the back end of a 3/8 NPT die to take down the starting threads (it was either that or tap the block.) To my surprise the part threaded in perfectly! (not loose, not overly snug) Added some teflon paste and got my T-Fittings in. So far 50 miles no leaks, not that I expected any but it's always good to check.

 

good info. thanks for sharing asian. More people should post up their tips and recommendations so we all can gain from it.

 

so now we know if you are getting a BSP to NPT fitting, it has to be a tapered BSP male thread.

 

Woops! Totally forgot about this thread haha,


Well those two parts posted in this thread work together great as I stated.

So, this splitter- http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/1-8-n...g-adapter.aspx, which costs $18.53 shipped. Plus this adapter- http://www.vgauges.com/catalog/produ...8a4f293da45845 which costs $14.75 shipped will allow you to tap your block seamlessly.



The third "port" is currently plugged up, it's going to be for the oil return line when I install my kit in a couple weeks. That plug also comes with the splitter.



Also, I had to use teflon tape because at first it leaked a little, but now it's been on for over a week and I've done some heavy driving on it without a single drop of oil.

 

love the 4 way block!!!!
