Just getting everything together for my turbo build and am looking at different options for my oil source. Anybody seen/used this block by CBR?? Looks to be a pretty slick unit.

Probably not, nice piece but its pricey. Do you need 2 ports?

 

Looks like a nice piece, could you also tee into the sending unit behind the intake? I'm waiting on a kb kit myself, might have to get me one of those...nice find 8.1

 

I would just tap the factory block-off plate and screw in a -4 fitting and be done with it. It will take you about 10 minutes to drill and tap in a vise and the fitting, tap, and drill bit will probably only cost you around $15 bucks.

 

That is what I did, took no time at all! right now I have a oil pressure gauge there, but It will be for a turbo feed this winter.

 

stupid question, but where is the block off plate? i'm guessing we're talking about an LM7

*nevermind, i'm guessing you're talking about the piece above the filter and not the plug at the front left side

 

Ive seen some really nice black anodized ones on ebay that are 20 bucks shipped!

 

I used one of those on my build. Nice quality but I heard they are made by some Unibomber dude up in CO. He uses it to subsidize the manifest he's writing...

For those of us that have a factory oil cooler, using an adapter plate for the feed isn't an option. I have a leaky line that runs from the block to the oil cooler so I came up with this.





I just used some hard line adapters, a gauge adapter, and some Aeroquip PushLok hose. I have yet to install it, but hopefully this weekend or next I will. Till I get the turbo on I will have my oil pressure sending unit on the gauge port running to my gauge in my pillar.
I think the total price was less than $120 which isn't bad since the hoses needed replaced anyways, and it serves a double purpose.
