Speccing a single turbo for a 4.6 RV8

Oil take off on a Serp RV8
Anyone care to tell me the options for this please? I'm guessing a sandwich plate on the filter housing could be used but see a couple of bungs up an the housing side too. Anything possible with them that might be neater?

Sorry, oil take off for the turbo feed... thought the post heading would show a bit more prominentlystevieturbo wrote:Options for what ?pupp wrote:Anyone care to tell me the options for this please?

Anything can be achieved one way or another. Even if it means just welding some bits together, or drilling and tapping.
Draw a picture of exactly what you need. What exactly is the M20x1.5 part for ?
That's an unusual thread for anything Rover.
Typically you'd use something like this. On the side you could adapt it to -4 if that's what you are using for the oil supply.

So you'd need an M20x1.5 to 1/8 NPT ( ie get an M20 solid bung and drill/tap it )
Then a male to male 1/8 NPT to -4 fitting to screw into the side of the above adaptor.

or an Earls M20x1.5 to -4 male/male adaptor and use one of these male/female adaptors with an 1/8 NPT port on the side
http://www.earls.co.uk/earls/fuelsystem/adapters.html
I dont see the M20/-4 one listed, but often they have a much larger range than is listed online.
Even if you did have to go to -6 on the M20, you could step it down to -4 easily.

I think an M20 to -6 would be easiest ( only because I dont see a -4 listed, but phone them, they may well have )
9919DBL ( images are generic )
Then Earls 100199 -6 male to female with 1/8 fem on the side ( again, if they have -4 for the above, all the better, this piece can be -4 )
Then a -6F to -4M reducer
9892064
Speedflow, Torques and other brands will probably do these parts too, I've always used Earls for all my stuff.

Some more thoughts on this; having looked at the pressure sender earlier, I'm a bit concerned that hanging that and a line to the turbo off a T-piece is asking for trouble. All looks a tad exposed and dependent on the comparatively weedy 1/8 thread being strong enough to support it and not fatigue etc.
Is there something else I might be able to do at the filter end? maybe using a cooler sandwich plate...not sure whether a feed from a plate outlet would be immediately after or before the filter in the circuit?
