Thermostatic sandwich plate w/npt fittings
 
Anybody know of a thermostatic sandwich plate that has 2- 1/8" npt ports? I want to run my oil temp and oil pressure gauges off of it.

Has anyone run a non-thermostatic plate as a daily driver?

Yes, The Fast Intentions TT kit has a remote filter mount that is not on a thermostatic plate. May be best to run a remote setup.

That is a possibility. I talked to Kevin at FI today and he didn't have any suggestions. He didn't mention their remote set up but I only asked him about a sandwich plate. Specialty Z has a mishimoto non thermostatic plate on their website with two npt ports. I have an email into Seb to see if he thinks I can use it without my themostatic plate. I don't have enough room to stack the two.

Someone yesterday just posted about on a remote oil filter set up. Believe it had ports in the plate. I don't remember if if was a thermostatic or not. I kind of glazed over it.

If I don't need a thermostatic, I'd just buy the plate. I did find a mishimoto thermostatic plate with two ports, I just don't know if it'll work on the Z. I'll call mishimoto tomorrow or hopefully I'll hear back from Seb tonight.

I know but there's nothing else out there. Mocal doesn't appear to make one. Earl's has nothing.

If you get one. Check the o-rings.

I guess there's been some failure issues on some.

Guess when Mishy put the plate together. They sliced an o-ring. Causing the engine to dump all of it's oil. And you know the oil light doesn't come on until it see 5 psi.

I have an oil pressure gauge and have the warning light set to come on at 15 psi.

Here's where you can add a sensor to your existing oil cooler kit.
AN Sensor Adapter Fittings | Improved Racing

If you want a better Thermostatic sandwich plate (you'll pay $ for it)

Oil Filter Sandwich Plate with Thermostat for Oil Coolers ENV-131

They also have a remote filter plate I'm using. But just some ideas.
