I am trying to install the adapter that goes into the block that connects to the T fitting for the oil... does the adapter fit easily into the block? I am concerned with stripping the threads on the block if I try fitting it in since it seems like the adapter threads are a little bit larger than the Stock oil pressure threads.

need help asap

 

It should thread in just as easily as the stock oil pressure sensor. I haven't done a turbo install on my S yet, but every other honda motor I've threaded the 1/8" BSPT adapter into has gone in easily by hand. I always use teflon on the threads as well. Just be careful towards the end when tightening with a tool not to tighten it too much, the aluminum threads in the block strip easily.

 

it didnt go in easily, it stopped at about 1 thread and after that I said no way im not going to force it in.

 

This is 100% the adapter that came with the vortech kit, and not one you bought on your own?

 

I bought a used kit and I used what was included, I couldnt imagine the previous owner using something else? I dont know I tried what was included and then I went to a specialty shop to see if they had something that would fit... I guess the previous owner didnt include the right part?

 

I put the car back together anyways... wasted my time but thanks for the input.

 

Maybe just go out and buy another BSPT fitting; does the fitting provided look used?

1/8 NPT is very similar but you do not want to screw that into your block

mcmaster will have it

 

it did indeed look used, but it didnt fit... I emailed vortech to see how much it would be to order the new parts so Ill see how it goes.. Most likely sell the SC since I dont want to deal with it lol.

 

Buy this one... Took me FOREVER to find it... also took forever to ship.
