Cheapest Materials for Oil Feed Supply
As mentioned in the thread before there are 2 ways to do the oil feed:
1. Adapter Plate - This goes in between the oil filter and the block. $39.00 does not include fittings or line.
2. OEM - You take out the oem Oil pressure sender from the back of the block and place a Tee between it and the block. This is how it is on the mazdaspeed protege.
I took route 2 but did not use OEM material because it is too expensive. I went aftermarket. Below is all the material you need to provide the msp turbo with oil in the LEAST expensive manner.
There is a seller on ebay who sells an oil line with a X splitter (not T) with crimped 1/4" 90deg fitting for the msp T25 turbo oil inlet. The oem way is a T for the block, pressure sender, oil feed. But this 4 way can be used to hook up a pressure guage later on and comes with a plug if not used. The only thing is the 4 way female threading is 1/8" NPT. The block and oem pressure sender are 1/8" BSPT so you need additional supplies, which still comes out to be cheaper than any other way.
(a) 36" Oil line + X splitter + Turbo side Fitting -
MiragePower2008
- The 1/8" NPT male fitting for the block in this auction can't be used you replace it with (b). The lowest best offer is $18.51 with free shipping
(b) 2 x 1/8" NPT male -> 1/8" BSPT male NIPPLE -
4810T221
- One will be used for the block the other for the coupling $3.00 each
(c) 1 x 1/8" BSPT female -> 1/8" BSPT female COUPLING -
4810T151
- The oem pressure sender will connect to this coupling $2.63 each
COST: $18.51 + $6.00 + $2.63 + McMaster shipping =
$27.14 + shipping
McMaster shipping is not expensive so don't worry. I recieved the oil line from ebay and the crimping and line look to be good quality. The 4 way cross is made out of brass if that is an issue for some people McMaster has SS Tees and Crosses:
SS cross: $8.96
SS tee:$5.17
150 PSI is plenty the oil will not exceed 100.
