TurboSE Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'm trying to determine the best places for my oil pressure and oil temp senders on my RB26. I am using the Grex cooler plate below and I am figuring to place the temp sender on the "out" side. Can I "tee" into this side and get pressure as well or is there a better location? Senders are 1/8NPT with 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 adapters. The Grex plugs are M18x1.5. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat1 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) why don't you use the stock oil pressure sending unit hole in the block. That's what I did with mine. As for the oil temp I would put it in the line to the oil cooler or in the pan. Edited March 25, 2010 by pat1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm missing something, isn't the pressure unit in the OEM cooler? the temp will essentially be in the line to the cooler from the filter.

RB26powered74zcar Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I drilled and tapped for the pressure sensor in my oil filter adapter (on top), and used a port already there for the temp sensor (bottom right). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac708 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 When I purchased my RB26, it came with an additional temp and oil pressure xmitter adapter plate installed between the oil filter and the mount. Looks like somebody else thought it was a good enough place to take temp and pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
