mattgtt Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 hay anyone know the thread size of the oil pressure sensor or the thread in the block as i have a oil pressure sender that needs fitting thanks!! Quote
mattgtt Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 thats what the sender has! the standard pressure sensor the same?? Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Most sensors are 1/8thNPT but i cant remember if jap cars use npt thread or bspt, ive never had to check the thread on any of the engines sensors to be honest bud..Im sure it is 1/8npt because a mate of mine bought a standard t-piece for the engines sensor hole to run his pressure sensor from for his gauge..I took mine from the oil filter housing though so..Best bet is to take the sensor out and get a thread pitch checker, its like a feeler gauge but for threads, you just hold it up against the thread untill the teeth match up and it tells you what size thread and also if its bsp , bspt, npt etcAt a guess though, id have thought npt, (national pipe thread)bspt stands for british standard pipe thread, which i highly doubt the japs would use Quote
garbla900 Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 where is the sensor cause i got one aswell and i took the sensor out at the back of the engine which i thought ws it (justbelow the manifold on the block but i cant seem to find another one anywhere. Quote
mattgtt Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 thanks alot glanza ragger yer i got 1 of those at work just didnt want to take the sensor out and the t piece threads dont match and then put it back together if u get what i mean lol any ideas of the best way to remove the sensor because its not good access got turbo and downpipe in the way might have to remove them?!

garbla900 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 anyone got any pics or description on where it is ? Quote
mattgtt Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 its screwed in the block at the front behind the downpipe with a wire connector on it! Quote
garbla900 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 magic mate i just wasent sure where it was. Quote
mattgtt Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 now jus got to get the fu#*er out lol wen u do let me know how! Quote
garbla900 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 cool. im gona try and do it today or tmoz and ill let you know how to do. Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I havent got any photos of where it is, but its on the right hand side of the manifold, kinda behind it. It has a kind of push on spade connection. single wire going to it.Some have a type of nut fitting, so you can use a spanner, some you need to use vicegrips to remove.you might have to take the manifold heatshield off to get to it, i honestly cant remember if you can see it with the heatshield, i would have thought you could..Even it if is tight for space If you need a T-piece in a hurry, find out what threads you need and phone demon tweaks up, they can send you one next day and there all lma motorsport or mocal fittings, so no cheapo adaptors that snap off in the head Quote
rorenapier Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Stadard sensor size is 1/8 BSPT.Its NOT 1/8NPT as its a diffirent pitch. Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Stadard sensor size is 1/8 BSPT.Its NOT 1/8NPT as its a diffirent pitch.Ah i wasnt sure if it was bspt or npt.Ages since i had mine out. Quote
