Step 4: Oil lines
I spent $70 on an oil line kit. i got it and some of the pieces werent right, and all of the pieces were at home depot for a lot less. so here is what you will need.
1: oil sensor socket
1: 3/8 NPT hex nipple
1: 3/8 NPT female tee
1: 3/8 NPT to 1/8 NPT reducer
1: 1/8 NPT to 1/4 Flare
about 6 feet of 4-an SS line
I got an autometer oil pressure gauge too, so I had to also get:
1: 1/8 NPT hex nipple
1: 1/8 NPT tee
on the driver side of the back of the block there is a bright grean plug. you must first slide the red lock to open, then pull the plug off. use the socket to remove the stock oil pressure sending unit. i didnt have any oil come out but it wouldnt hurt to have some towels handy just incase. the 3/8 nipple screws into the block. next put the 3/8 tee on that. on the back of the tee you can reinstall the stock sending unit. on the opening left in the tee, put the 1/8 reducer in. then the 1/8 to 1/4 flare fitting. the SS 4 -an line attaches to the flare fitting. now on my turbo i threaded the oil feed hole for 1/8 NPT threading. i then got a 1/8 NPT elbow, and connected another 1/8 to 1/4 flare there to feed the turbo. Make sure you use teflon paste on all of these connections.
