Oil Temp Sensor or Pressure Install for a Z27AG 4G15 - Similar to a 4G63/64 Block

For those looking at mounting any oil temp sensor and pressure sensor do note the Z27A has you covered.
There are two point on the engine block that these can be mounted :)


blank plug in the oil filter flange = 3/8" BSPT male threads
Common sensor Threads = 1/8" NPT female threads e.g oil pressure sender

Gauge Brand       Oil Pressure Sender Thread Pitch
VDO                        1/8" NPT or M10x1
Stewart Warner 1/8" NPT
Autometer               1/8" NPT
Defi oil pressure senders are 1/8" BSPT






















Originally i used some teflon tape, but it is not best practice  I now use liquid thread tape sealer.

This can be used on filler bolts, or sensors where you don't want teflon tape breaking off and contaminating.


Using a tap to convert the internal 1/8 BSP thread to a 1/8 NPT thread.










done a standard oil change...going to dyno soon wanna get car ready...
notice a while ago the gasket on the oil return line to the sump was leaking...
made a new gasket out of cork, hope it holds

added an oil temp sensor i got from a friend...will wire it up another day, but it is mounted...used teflon tape to seal

A sensor adapter 1/8-3/8can be purchased but this kit came with one :)
Another option:
or u can go get an normal temp gauge @ your local electronics...for ~40$, drill a hole in the sump plug and use high temp silicon to seal it...as i seen in this civic on the track day...he said there is no pressure in the sump so its all good.

You can purchase items here: http://store.42draftdesigns.com/ or you generic sensor shop
AMS also do a special relocation kit /AMS-Remote-Oil-Pressure-Sending-Unit-Line.html
conntection point






















Can also get a sump plug sensor adapter
Bolt size is M14 x P1.5 (i am highly confident this is the size)
I am sure a brass fitting shop will have a bolt with an internal tapped thread for a sensor ;) similar story happened when i did my gearbox filler mod


AMS Kit Details  /AMS-Remote-Oil-Pressure-Sending-Unit-Line.html


The AMS Remote Oil Pressure Sending Unit Line allows you to safely mount your aftermarket oil pressure sending unit away from vibration.  Traditionally tuners would mount their oil pressure sending units directly to the oil filter housing which provides a quick and easy mounting solution. The down fall is the excessive vibration especially at high RPM's can cause a failed or broken sensor. If the sender breaks, a rapid oil leak can quickly ruin bearings causing engine failure!


Our -3AN stainless steel braided line prolongs oil pressure sending unit life, looks great and is built to last.  This line is a MUST when installing an aftermarket oil pressure gauge.

Features
    Allows for longer sending unit life
    Eliminates the chance of engine damage from a sending unit breaking off
    Braided stainless steel for protection against abrasion and corrosion
