Need To Find Oil Pressure Guage Reducer/Adapter
I plan to install an oil pressure gauge. I read a guide on how to install the gauge that tells me I need a:
3/8 BSPT Male to 1/8 NPT Female Reducer
to go from the oil pressure bung on the side of the engine block, which is this weird 3/8 BSPT size. To the standard 1/8 NPT size you typically see on oil pressure gauge sensor cables.
I can't find one of these adapters anywhere and all the links I've found are old as hell and lead nowhere.
Can anybody provide me with a link to order one?

You need this to remote mount the sensor. The vibration of direct mounting will quickly kill most aftermarket sensors.

Nice, thanks. I was gonna get the AMS remote adapter, but from what I read, even though it was meant for the 4B11, didn't have the correct threads. Which is why I wanted the reducer I mentioned.

Mitsubishi makes an adapter that turns the banjo bolts connecting the oil cooler to the block into a pressure and temperature setup. I believe that the parts come with sensors already integrated.

I Don't see how the oil cooler banjo's would be an effective place to measure pressure, the flow through them is effected by the thermostat. Also, oil temp should be measure in the pan. The drain plug is large to be drilled/tapped for 1/8" NPT for a temp sensor.

I couldn't find the actual Ralliart P/N's, but here is the set I was talking about from Arnside. I assume those are aftermarket, but they might be the real thing. I don't remember the Mitsubishi parts being red, though.

I agree with this, with proven data. I had my oil temp sensor in the same location as my oil pressure sensor (filter housing) and it would barely ever get over 160f and then I moved it to the pan (MAP oil pan) and the temps in the oil pan where 30-40F higher and it goes above 200F on a 70* day, like normal.

Even if you do pull the drain plug, just unplug the sensor..
