Some time ago I purchased a Canton oil relocater fitting for my block. I had been using a crappy spin on one for years and figured this would be a nice upgrade.



The Canton has a hole tapped in the side of it that takes an NTP fitting. I have an adaptor to BSP and my turbo oil feed connected to it. Just above it you can see my Greddy pressure sender screwed into the block.

Before I bought this adaptor I had my oil feed and pressure sender on a brass T sticking out the side of the block. I believe this is quite fragile and prone to failure.

Any opinions on this set up? Is it good, or should I swap the oil supply and sender plug ins?

 

oil pressure senders can be fragile, and with the vibrations coming directly from the block you may have an issue. I would switch them around as the vibrations may be slightly less agitating on the relocator

 

Thanks for that.

 

My previous Canton adapter didn't have the extra port. I'd route them whatever way keeps the feed hose away from the manifold

 

Well here's my conclusion. Don't connect your oil line to the IN side of the oil filter. Yes it's higher pressure but being unfiltered any debris will clog your turbo and totally stuff it.

Ask me how I know?

 

sorry to hear that. I read about your issues in the other thread

Why not drill and tap another hole of the return side and cork the existing hole wih the supplied plug? I know that was tapped for an oil pressure sender.

 

thats a perfect way to do the turbo oil feed. better than T'ing the oil pressure sending unit actually.

i use the golden eagle sandwich plate which has a 1/8 npt port that i use for the turbo oil feed.

 

If it's ok with you all I will block the tapped port and go back to T'ing off the oil pressure sensor port. I learnt my lesson the hard (read: expensive) way.
