i got a question for all the people that did their ka-t setup.

i really really dont want to go through the pain in the ass off taping the block to put in oil lines, so, would it be a good idea say to use the
sandwitch adapter from say SPL2 (1/8 BSPT ports and 1 12mm port on the adapter)? seems would work, anyone would have any comments about it?

look in www.spl.com in hardware/plumbing section.

heres a pic too if ur lazy

I think relocation is bullshit. But that's just me. Maybe if I were to install tons of gauges and an oil cooler.
The block already has the hole in it, for the oil pressure sender. Just remove that, add a tee, and you're done.

ok thanks Jeff i think that explained it for me. but will it fit both, the oil presure and the feed line? i dont really care for the presure gauge but it would be kinda nice to have

I'm using the www.tuner-toys.com (or no -, just play around with the name) tee. It's got the right BSPT for the block and for the oil sending unit, and 1 (or 2. I got the double) NPT ports. The oil pressure gauge I have (autometer) has a big-ass sending unit, and won't fit up there between all the stuff. Maybe later I'll go to Amazon Hose and have them make a steel braided line and hook my gauge up that way.. almost like a relocation.
