Thanks for the website. Here is the drain plug link for others.

There are 2 ports on the oil filter housing...one is clean oil and one is dirty oil...I just put the AMS remote oil line in the dirty oil port...still has the same pressure as the clean oil port...my AEM oil pressure gauge reads how it should...I've had it installed there since September...

We are talking about oil temp though.

While that is where Mitsubishi put the oil temp sensor for the MR's, curious why you want the oil temps to be reading 20*+ cooler?

I like all the options you guys have posted, seems to come down to preference really. I being a track **** want the most warning of when my water + oil temps/pressure get out of wack.

Thanks for all the different solutions guys!

That's what I'm looking for also. More accuracy. Of course I could just subtract 20 degrees from the oil pan reading but I would rather have the gauge read accurately. I'm thinking an oil supply from the head would give good reading just not sure how to go about doing it. For now I ordered the drain plug adapter.

Just use a Y fitting, or use a sensor adapted into the oil drain plug. I have oil temp on the drain plug, the oil pressure on the unfiltered HP oil feed from the pump housing and the regular pressure sensor there also.

I have a y fitting now but its reading way below what it should because its not in the flow path of oil. Before I had the black turbo I had the temp sensor in the spot where the black turbo feed line is now. It was reading perfectly. Not its not since its in the y fitting.

Ok now I have the oil temp sensor mounted in the oil pan and it does read about 10 degrees hotter than the y fitting did. It is also about 20F outside. After about 20 min of driving Im only hitting about 145-150 degrees. Is this reading normal? I guess it would be if the above post said the oil pan reading is about 20 degrees cooler right? I also noticed when I start getting up to speed the oil temp drops to 135-140F. Im also thinking maybe my oil t-stat might be stuck open since its not supposed to open untill around 175F.. Has anyone heard of this happening before? I might open a new thread about my problem to maybe get more answers.

Do you, or anyone know if they have something like this but with a 1/8" BSPT female threads?

I am getting a Defi VSD Concept from a friend and it looks like all the sensors are BSPT(Only states PT on the site so I assume they are not NPT)

I think I will use one of the hex plugs on the filter housing for Oil Pressure but would like to keep one free for when I upgrade to a BBK-B type turbo possibly, and maybe an Accusump. Any of the big turbo(30/35R) guys running there oil line from the oil filter housing, or just from the block?

Should I just use it and move it in the future to the block if I do decide to upgrade to a stock framed turbo large enough to need higher pressure oil feed line? Also, the hex plugs are BSPT threads correct?

Thanks,

Not sure about the thread pitch. I would definitely use one of the hex plugs on the oil filter housing. Or you can just tee off of the factory oil pressure port. I just thought of doing that myself and putting the oil temp sensor in the oil filter housing. The ball bearing turbo guys dont need an oil supply from the oil filter. Thats because bb turbos dont need that much pressure just flow.

Just to be clear. Both ports that have a hex plug in them will see oil pressure?

correct.
i'm using one for my oil temp, and one for the FP Turbo oil line.
Pretty sure one is pre oil cooler, the other is post oil cooler.

Thank you so very much. This was a difficult answer to find. Im using this OFH on my DSM and need another port for a stock pressure sensor.

if you have the oil filter housing off the car, and remove the hex plugs you can easily work out where the oil comes and goes from. Thats how i learnt
