This should help a bit Jamie.

1. Unused nearly max pressure, unfiltered oil port, second port from oil pump. 3/8 BSPT
2. Tapped port for stock oil pressure dummy sensor, thread is 1/8 BSPT
3. Filtered port, 3/8" BSPT , **I'm not sure if this is open to only bypassed oil or oil that is post oil cooler?
4. Oil cooler bypass Valve.
5. Oil pressure relief valve, has engine side port that needs egging out, not shown.
6. Return Oil Cooler port, M16X1.5
7. Threads for lower timing belt cover bolt, thread M6
8. Inlet Oil Cooler port, M16X1.5, first port from oil filter
9. Max pressure port, first port from the oil pump, 1/8 BSPT. Stock DSM oil pressure gauge port

I have my oil pressure gauge tapped into #9
Not too sure on the oil temp though. I believe that Rob323 has his tapped into the head near where the turbo oil feed is.

Thanks Tim

#9 dont exist on my car, its not taped at all..

So its either 1 or 3..which would be better?

My oil pressure is tapped onto the head.

#2 oil press gauge
oil temp: sandwich plate between the oil filter/housing or weld bung on sump

I'd go #1 for the oil pressure sender, given the 'dummy light' goes in #2. Oil temp - I'd drill and tap a sump bolt with the sender.

hey libero,
just curious, does it matter which one goes where between port 1 and 2?

Crappy pics but this is how I've mounted my oil temp sender in the sump plug:

DOUGMO · May 19, 2009

nice work shayne, have you tried it yet? no leaks?

ENGINR · May 21, 2009

I haven't tried it yet. I need to unscrew the temp sender and pick out the teflon tape the guy who did it for me put in the threads. I've got the Loctite thread sealer paste which I like to use instead.

DOUGMO · May 21, 2009

yep, thread sealer works wonders indeed

Maybe it should of read "they" instead of "I've" and it would have been done right

just wondering guys, this bypass labelled 4 on the first page. i have an engine at work that has had the factory bypass removed, and just an alloy plug fitted. doesnt have any typ eof spring or anything behind it, just leaves the ports open to each other all the time? what would this prove?

K33P_UP · Jun 16, 2009

i would put it on the head, its the first place you will notice oil pressure loss.. but in saying that you will get a higher reading of pressure in the head... so im told.

We have just made these recently.
The brass fittings were always one thread out per inch.
these are the correct thread.
