Lets use a base system where we have to count to 12 instead of intervals of 10.. you know, like how many fingers we ahve!

WORK ON IT!! haha, I'm piston shopping as we speak.

There was a lot of sarcasm in my post
still getting used to thinking in fractions of an inch...

Nope, Evan is the engineer
me, I'm a quality control manager at an aerospace machine shop
I take care of most of the paperwork associated with jobs aswell as
the inspection.
I also get to do all the bitch work - cleaning parts, tapping holes,
deburring, cutting stock, cleaning CNC machines, etc
(ever been showered in sharp metal chips? It's like having gotten into a fight with a herd of pissed off wild cats)

I know, I just dont get the standard..

Dude, I'd wwaaayyy rather be machining then doing the shit I do.
Fuck engineering staring at a computer screen and doing fucking risk registers and retarded shit.

cdlong · 11-21-2008, 12:00 PM

there's no real way i can help, but i would like one once they're done.

I haven't forgotten.
Holidays means people work short weeks and take vacations.
Also I'm the eager one and unfortunately I lack the skills to get this done by myself.
And the people that do have little faith in the 240 crowd (i.e. they're cheap broke lowballing flakes).
So IT WILL GET DONE but I can't say when and in what numbers.

If someone (that means you Evan) can provide me with a blueprint or CAD model
I could try bribing a machinist to set up one of the CNC machines.

*NemeGuero* · 12-03-2008, 08:33 AM

I was working on a CAD!! But so were you.. I let mine go cuz I thought you were doing one.

Thats it, I'm finishing mine today and emailing it to you!

You'll have it before 4:30 PM PST.

los_inc · 12-03-2008, 08:51 AM

yo evan let me know i'm down to put a deposit
just don't smoke it on me

*NemeGuero* · 12-03-2008, 08:53 AM

NEVERMIND..

figured it out.

lol @ los.

I'll let you know when we have something ready to build/test..

Keep on me about it.

*NemeGuero* · 12-03-2008, 09:59 AM

Hey Juan, what CAD program can I make this in?

I have:

CATIA
UniGraphics
SolidWorks

Otherwise I'll have to make it at home..

*DALAZ_68* · 12-03-2008, 11:22 AM

i miss my CNC router from school...

*NemeGuero* · 12-03-2008, 03:46 PM

*NemeGuero* · 12-03-2008, 03:48 PM

Thats kinda what I got going on..
What PROGRAM JUAN?!

3 1/8 NPTs. 1 for factory sensor, 1 for aftermarket sensor, 1 for oil feed for turbo.
the 2 are for the -10AN fittings.

Requires oil filter adapter.

Should I cad up one of those too?

I may need to space the 1/8 NPts a bit more due to the size of the OE sender fitting.. I probably need to add another extrusion outwards.
That whole top area can be pocketed on the mill for added bitchin-ness.

I need to check the clearance on the oil neck that comes out of the block and adjust the dimensions of stuff.

I also need to check the diameters of that neck to see how big the holes need to be and if I need 2 different diameters for that.

Nice the 3rd fitting is a good idea.
No oil filter adapter necessary.

Done and done.

Order material a few days ago
and got some time to work on it today.

Gibbs Round 2

Flycutting stock for squareness

CNC set up

Voila

That's the rough first face
NPT thread on the other face is up next
comments?

DreamN · 12-05-2008, 07:10 PM

gangstah!

This will allow for oil filter relocation as well right?

importdude · 12-05-2008, 07:17 PM

dam im down for 1

dont forget
its 1bspt for the oem sensor

Yes, that's the main idea
We haven't decided if we want to make the oil filter adapter yet
since there are many options already out there
IF we do, it'd be something special
like have brackets/adapters for a fuel pressure regulator/oil catch can/radiator surge tank... etc

Very nice. I'd like to be able to run a catch can and a oil cooler as well with my oil filter relocated to a more comfortable location for filter replacement. Plus would need it for oil temp and pressure as well like Stevie mentioned.

What's the projected price on something like that?

Problem is we don't have CAs lying around
nor do we plan on getting one anything soon.

you mean on the oil adapter?

can't tell
we'd have to have a working model/blueprint first
so that we can know how difficult/intricate the
details would be

Addicted2Kouki · 12-06-2008, 02:01 AM

That actually looks really good.
I like the idea. it would be everything I need! HAHA

More updates on progress!!!!!!!!

ryan hagen · 12-06-2008, 10:39 AM

this is sweet i could ditch my big ass earls adapters and all the junk under my intake, i d be interested in one, if they are 100-150 i d buy one for sure

chuy · 12-06-2008, 11:10 AM

MY block isn't torn apart yet. BUt in in Ill just wait for the final design. BUt Im in

*NemeGuero* · 12-06-2008, 07:35 PM

So what design does Mike have for the other side of the block?

How many ports does he have for fittings?

Is he going to leave the mid section (oil return) open or O-ring it like the OEM?
The AN banjo should be 3/8s NPT on the block side and -10AN for the other side.
They're like $5 a piece.

This sucks, Iwish I still had my machine shop.

projectRDM · 12-06-2008, 07:48 PM

For the love of all holy you guys, do NOT reuse your OE sender. It'd be sad to get such a nice piece like this and cover it with leaky oil in a week.

Buy a real gauge, use it. Throw the OE junk in the trash.
