Skull And Bones KA Oil Adaptor Block - Introductory Group Buy - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*ManoNegra* · 01-24-2009, 02:33 PM

WHAT IS IT?
The first oil block for the DOHC KA that allows for a proper oil cooler/relocation set up.

These pieces have been in development for a couple of months
by myself and Mike, my close friend who runs the machine shop where we both work at.
He's the guy that actually did the tough work designing, programming and developing these pieces,
I just helped where I could (There, happy Mike?).
We worked late hours and weekends, sweated blood (true story) trying to make
something that we personally would want to have in our cars.
Hope that we've succeed.

FEATURES:
- CNCd from a single billet aluminum piece
- Double Viton o-rings to seal the return line to block properly
- Aluminum -8AN ORB fittings with a 3/8 ID
- 3 1/8 NPT strategically spaced for OEM or aftermarket sensors or oil feed lines
- Pieces offered through this introductory group buy WILL BE anodized blue

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
- Two -8AN ORB aluminum fittings
- Two Viton o-ring
- Two 1/8 NPT plugs

The unit will ship assembled.
You will need to buy the gasket that goes between this piece and the block
or just use gasket maker.

PAYMENTS
Price for these is $140 each that includes paypal fees AND shipping
They will ship US priority mail
For simplicity, we will only accept paypal: [email protected]
Socal peeps can PM me and arrange pick up

VER 1.00 List
These are the people that have paid, want one or have simply shown interest
in the blocks. I will contact them via PM once the units are ready.
Post in this thread or PM me if you want your name added/removed from this list.

Looking at the pics won't the 3 1/8 NPT ports be blocked when the -8 fittings are screwed in?

They don't actually, that's just one of the details we
had to find solutions to while developing these
if I get a close up pic I'll post it

irax · 01-24-2009, 03:57 PM

a picture of the port with the -8 fitting would clear this concern up

*ManoNegra* · 01-24-2009, 05:35 PM

More pictures showing fittings and ports relation
plus installed fitment have been added as requested

The first handful of units have been sold
giving us some cash to buy more material and parts
another batch will be ready is about a month's time
anyone that wants one either PM me or post to this thread
and I'll get a list started

chuy · 01-24-2009, 07:04 PM

DAMN IT IM LATE FOR THIS. Im gonna send funds so i should get one next run

GSXRJJordan · 01-24-2009, 10:17 PM

I watched Evan's thread with this part's development, looks like you guys did a great job - I predict success for this much-needed part for you KA'ers

Adikt · 01-25-2009, 09:46 AM

It looks like 1/3 of the 1/8 NPT fittings gets covered up. I'm not sure the inner diameter of the 1/8 NPT but, wouldn't that restriction cause less oil to go into the turbo? Also, wouldn't it read oil pressure incorrectly since the sender would be located after the restriction?

SoBay240guy · 01-25-2009, 11:10 AM

A 1/8 NPT (national pipe thread) port is designed to be used with 1/8" Pipe or equivalent sized hose, as you can see far more than a 1/8" diameter is left uncovered. It's also worth noting most turbo feed lines get a .060" diameter restrictor in them to limit pressure, atleast all of mine have.

As far as the sender goes there will be no pressure difference either since there will be no flow through that port regardless.

Mike

UNISA JECS · 01-25-2009, 12:01 PM

Do you also have any extra plugs avialble for the 1/8" NPT ports?

Dousan_PG · 01-25-2009, 12:15 PM

vodka2 · 01-25-2009, 11:38 PM

i love seeing stuff like this , great contribution to the community.

*ManoNegra* · 01-26-2009, 12:42 PM

We shipped out the first units today
and are noticing that shipping it $5
regardless of destination.
We're just going to make the price $140
for simplicity and that will include the paypal fee and shipping.

91silvia · 01-26-2009, 12:56 PM

Nice doing business with you guys...I can speak on behalf of many people when I say that you are doing us all a great deed in releasing a product like this that larger companies simply won't spend the time to build.

Om1kron · 01-26-2009, 01:09 PM

I'll take one. =)

chuy · 01-26-2009, 04:13 PM

irax · 01-26-2009, 04:55 PM

with an oil cooler do you still get the same milage out of the oil?

Om1kron · 01-26-2009, 06:06 PM

yes, you just will have slightly more oil capacity.

*ManoNegra* · 01-26-2009, 07:29 PM

Gorilla Unit 33 · 01-26-2009, 10:55 PM

do you have a picture of this installed in the bay? im curious to see how & where you ran the lines. Im just trying to see if it will look right in my bay, since im doing a full tuck right now. Also this could be used in conjunction with the Greddy Sr oil filter relocation kit correct? i mean if we wanted to make it a little easier for doing oil changes lol, not that the filter is that hard to change.

180sxdrifter · 01-26-2009, 11:02 PM

Add me to this list sirs going KA-T soon and this will be a good thing

hunter8411 · 01-27-2009, 03:06 AM
