pull off the drivers side wheel and fender plastic and you'll see some wires that run into the passenger compartment from the engine bay. that's the route I followed.

so one thing i have to figure out is, where to put my oil temp sensor. My oil pressure sensor is on the tunertoyz t. any ideas where to put the other? the only other way i can think of is to put on a sandwhich plate on the oil filter, so i can go in that way... tho i do not want to.
other question is relative to my water temp gauge. does anybody know the diamater for the INNER side of the radiator hose?
thanks in advance!

So FYI, i found out that for the inner side of the radiator hose is 32 mm. So now i'm gonna get a tap-in for that sensor.

Couldnt you just pop the sender into where your T'ing the coolent into your turbo? Does the sender have the same pipe thread style sender as the oil one?

i believe the sensor is 1/8 NPT. I looked at the oil temp sensor and the h20 sensor side by side as well. they appear to be the same thing. i used prosport premium gauges, and they sell adaptors with 1/8 NPT sensor threading as well to go along with the h20 sensor. it's $28 for the 32 mm adaptor. my oil pressure sensor is premium as well, it's a lot more sleak and james bondish to me lol. i'll put more pix up later of it. the sender is 1/8 NPT as well for that one too. it screws jsut fine into the Tuner Toyz fitting.

also, got my oil feed line (yay). both ends are female. 1 is 90 degree and 1 is straight.

you could try to get another one of those brass Tees from monument like I gave you. they are like 3 or 4 dollars. then cut off the nipple that sticks out and get a 1/8" NPT tap and see if you can put threads in that and then just tee into one of the turbo coolant lines. and then you can just thread your fitting into that. cause I really don't understand how you are supposed to tap into the big radiator hose.

That coolent settup is nice and all but you could get the same settup with a T fitting (All 3 sides female npt) 2 3/8's barb hose fittings with male ends. Shouldnt cost more then $5 in parts from a plumbing store

where would i "T" in to then? Cuz i have to take the turbo off techincally when i go into smog. if i tap-in to the radiator hose, i can keep everything legit.

If your running the coolent plumbing from under the TB you could just pop a T fitting into the prong fitting or whatever your using to extend the coolent lines. I added an extra 14 inches or so onto each coolent line with the barb fitting, plenty of room for a sender in there.

small update. i got in a bike accident yesterday. i won't be able to work on the car for maybe a week or 2. hopefully sooner. i had an IV in each arm, and several cat scans. i got road rash all up my right side of my face and my hands/arms, which went along with a concussion following a blackout. it's alright tho, got myself a bunch of Norco, should help a lil.

i'll keep u guys posted.

Love your fellow 6GC member,
Jeff

how could you go and do a thing like that???

hope you get to feeling better...can't wait to see how the project turns out!

#47

So after 3 weeks of finally getting well or at least better as to what i was before, i'm going to resume my project. i ordered a KO DP instead of the one i received from 6strings (sold it back to him), and i need to now just save up a lil bit of money again in order to need the following items:

3s oil drain line
intercooler piping
magnaflow highflow cat
custom piping from dp to cat

PS: For those who have an aftermarket oil temp. sensor, where did u make an adaptor or where did u place the sensor? The only way i have been able to think of is the sandwhich plate adaptor - which i do not want to buy. Please state ur input, thanks guys !

another question. for the coolant lines, underneath the throttle body, does it matter which lines from the turbo go to? or just hook up to what i can. i know there is 3 of em, and i need to use the one to the left, and the one to the right.

Next question, when i tee into the line for the preturbo, do i need to hook up the line before the catch can, or can someone else further explain this please

You can use any of the 2 coolent lines, doesnt matter which coolent hose you hook into on the turbo side because its a shared line, just flows arounf and then back out.

Im assuming your talking about the hose from the valve cover being T'd off.... Routing it to a catch can and then to the intake is a good idea, valve cover to the turbo is also fine.

so, from the valve cover to the t, 1 end goes to the turbo, 1 end goes to the catch can, then from the catch can to the intake ?

No no, valve cover to catch can to the intake. Your not thinking coolent still are you?

Your using the catch can like a filter, the bad air/fumes go in and anything that can settle in there will and less will be re-breathed back into the intake.

lol, no no, not thinking coolant. i know how a catch can works. so u are saying only do one method for the intake, don't combine both?

Yes, you want it to flow threw the catch can and into the intake.

jeff, this pic shows exactly how it should be routed.
if your using a catch can, the line would go from the valve cover, to the CC, and from the catch can, to the intake.

you should bring your car over friday evening if you have time. I still want to see how you relocated the battery cause I'm pretty sure I'm going to relocate mine this time around.

another small update, hooked up my gauges, small question tho. with my oil pressure gauge, it reads 60 psi right when i start it, then after 2mins of driving it around, and placing it back in idle, it stays at around 25 psi, then when i rev, it will go up to around 40 psi or so, or if i rev higher, it will go to around 65 psi. any comments?
