    Oil Feed line threads questions

    Anyone know what thread size is on the m50 oil filter housing where the pressure sensor screws in. I have my oil line coming off my turbo and im pretty sure its 3/16 flare threads. What fittings to most people use to T into here. I just dont wanna fuck this up and im having issues finding this info.

    Thanks so much.


    Also, if you run MS do you need to run a rrfpr? Thanks

    If you are running MS, no RRFPR is needed. But like someone else told you in your other post, an Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator (one that you manually adjust the pressure on) could be beneficial but not necessary

          As per realoem it should be m12x1.5mm thread pitch. This is the same as what my m42 was. You can actually get a adapter off ebay that has a T peice for 1/8npt & m12x1.5 off the end of it.

            its the same for m20s as well..m12x1.5

            I use a modified banjo bolt that accepts the sensor on top of the hex and 12mm banjo to male -3an adapter. (actually a -4an bajo with -3an adapter since the race shop was out of stock at the time).

            I don't know how well you can see it on the right edge of this pic....

            but heres an example:


            All-Red/MHW style Professional Tinted Tail lights
            PnP EMS, fuel injectors, wideband o2 systems

              1/4" Flare fittings from the hardware store seem like a perfect fit. Anyone use this?

                Nope, not gonna use them. Anyone know where I can get the fitting from m12 to flare fittings, which is what my turbo line is. Thanks guys.
