Oil Pressure Adapter - Which One

osbornsm · 06-09-2015, 04:51 PM

Hello all,

I am shopping for a "T" adapter for the OEM oil pressure sender.

It is my understanding that

the OEM pressure sender is BSP
gauges use NPT

Therefore, we'd need something like this... i think?

Female BSP + Female NPT + Male BSP
Oil Pressure adapter

Can someone please check my math on this one???

Thanks all

I bought mine on the UK Ebay because there were none available in the states at the time. Its exactly like this one:

Oil pressure gauge T-piece

The price has definitely gone up!

Your math is right. You need an adaptor with a male BSPT to fit into the OEM female BSPT port ... a female BPST port to accept the male OEM BPST pressure sensor ... and a female NPT port to accept the after-market male NPT pressure sensor.

Sweet, that's what I had figured. Now, to find the bloody thing

Are all bsp threads the same size? Or what's the OEM size

The thread size is 1/8" BSPT and 1/8" NPT. Go to the autotech motoring website at autotechmotoring.com … click on "engine … and it shows an oil pressure sensor adaptor that should work. It has two NPT ports to accommodate two types of after-market sensors (e.g. oil pressure/oil temperature), but if you only need to use one of the ports, they sell plugs to seal the other port. I ordered one of the adaptors and the plug, but I'm yet to do the install. Trust this helps.
