Oil Lines
Oil Lines
I'm gonna be running the dezod v3 kit. I plan to use an adapter off the block with 1/8 BSP male, with a female 1/8 BSP port for the stock sending unit. Also has two 1/8 NPT threads. This is made of steel for stability. I will use one 1/8 NPT port for the oil feed line & the other on a short hose to a Y-Adapter meant for a VW with M10x threads& two 1/8 NPT.
Instead of using the M10x threads for the VW sending unit I am using the M10 to 1/8 NPT Adapter then into the 12" Hose.
Then hose then goes to the back of my block on the adpater with a turbo oil feed line. My question is the two open 1/8 NPT ports are great.
I'm installing an electric oil pressure sending unit & oil temp sending unit. Do you think I will get accurate readings from the temp gauge?
Also the temp unit actually threads in deeper in one port than the other. In the port it threads all the way down, when you look in the block
the temp unit is blocking almost half of the opening. In the other port the temp unit threads in about 3-4 threads, the unit barely touches the opening the block.
Which port do you think if any will work the best? Here's some pictures.

Block with all units installed (Temp sender threaded all the way in)

Up close with temp sender threaded all the way in

Up close with temp sender unit threaded 3-4 threads

Up close of block opening (temp sender is threaded all the way down & is blocking a larger portion of the opening)

and the adaptor on the back of the block (tunertoys.com)

No you wont. Oil temp is best measured from the oil pan, so you get the reading of the oil going IN to the engine, not coming out of it. The static temperature in is the one you want to know.

Try jegs or summit racing
I wouldn't hang all that stuff off the back of the block, something's liable to break with all that weight hanging on it. use the T, remote mount everything else to something solid.

Alright, thats what I was afraid of. I'm gonna use the dezod 1/8 BSP to 1/8 NPT Adapter then to the dezod supplied t-fitting. One line to the turbo feed, the send using my 12" line, into my Y-fitting, with my stock & aftermarket sending units. Not much weight on the back of the block and no interruption in feed to the turbo. I think it should be a clean install.
Or what do you think of the Greddy Oil Filter Adapter?
I also was wondering how the effecient the dezod turbo was on draining oil. I've seen alot of leaking turbos as a result. Do I need a line restrictor?
