Ok, i've long since known where the feed for a older 1.8 is, but im having an issue here. My block is not a original 99, its a 96. Dunno if that is any problem.

But rather then digging down by the sender for oil supply, i was thinking of using a sandwich plate.... but, i have a oil filter relocation kit. So could i put a sandwich plate on the relocated oil filter? it would make oil feed a nice straight and easy shot over to the turbo. BTW, the filter is relocated to the pass. side firewall.

 

I would take the oil filter relocation flange adapter and drill a hole in the side then tap it 1/8" NPT. Drill and tap shouldn't be more than $10.
Or you can get the BSP adapter from stealthmode.

 

I used a tee on my oil pressure sending unit, but you should be able to use your filter relocation provided there's a place to tap into for the turbo oil feed line.

 

im having fun trying to figure out what the thread size is for our filters. Found a sandwich plate + feed line w/90* fitting for a good price, and it lists off the thread pitch for the filter... but i dunno what size the Miata is. On a side note, it seems at least the Mitsu 4G63 uses the same thread...

Eh, i just might tap the base of the relocator.. lol

 

so someone out there makes a sandwich plate in Miata size with a hole/adapter ready for oil press?

 

My mocal plate says 20mm.

alrighty, so i think i have my oil feed stuff taken care of now. Got that sandwich adapter and pressure line w/

1. T6 Aluminum oil feed flange

2. Gasket

3. 2 X Washers

4. - 4 AN bolt

5. 40" long stainless steel braided line with 2 * -4AN fitting

6. -1/8" Adapter NPT male fitting that goes to the block



Sound good? I know i still need to get the drain line, exhaust gasket and drain fittings.

 

I want that kit in the picture, where did you get it from??? Oil supply line is one of the few things I'm still missing before I can start my install and this would be PERFECT!!!

Namely, just the feed line and tee with fittings for the block and supply.

 

How long is the feed line that comes with that kit?

 

40"

found it on ebay for $37 shipped
