Oil pressure port

[jetjock]

Can anyone tell me if there are external oil galley ports on the 7MGTE other than the sending unit and tubo feed line? Any unused plugs I can used to pick off oil pressure?. What's the hex head block plug behind the power steerring pump?

Gracias....

I was wonering the exact same thing. I have a spare block and I took that hex bolt out and it looks to me like you could thread a fitting in there and have oil pressure. Hopefully someone will have a definate answer, because I want to know too.

under the oil filter.

Yeah, the Hex head port will work and the "7M" plate under the oil filter is a pressure port.

Not sure what you guys mean about "under" the oil filter or the "7M" plate. Can you elaborate? Can that port be accessed with the oil filter mount still in place?

Also, does anyone know the size and thread pitch for the banjo bolts on the oil pan (oil cooler return line) and the turbo oil feed line? The feed line spot would work if I could find a double banjo bolt.

Thanx...

Directly between the oil filter mount and the turbo oil return port is a high pressure port that has a two bolt plate blocking it off that says "7m" on it. I'm not exactly sure about the banjo thread pitch, but I do know that the big 17mm bolt that holds the "turbocharger stay" on the side of the turbo fits it perfectly.

12mm 1.25 pitch if memory is right for sump return

i was going to use the 7m plate for oil pressure gauge on this build as well

There is a spare 1/8 bsp port in the main gallery in front of the oil pressure sender towards the front of the block on the exhaust side.

Just to throw this in there too; I simply used a greddy oil block adapter and ran my guage into that. GReddy guage obviously.

Thanks guys. I specialize in EFI and TCCS but I'm a bit weak on the mechanical nuances of the engine.

I know the plate you're talking about now. Never realized it had anything written on it. IJ: is the spare port you mentioned that Allen hex screw behind the PS pump?

I'm not looking to intsall a gauge. It's for a custom designed electronically controlled pre and post oiler, along with a bypass filter. I need a pressure port and a sump drain for those items. Anyone know of a place that sells double banjos in that sump drain size? Is that the same size as the cold start banjo on the fuel rail?

JJ: Mine has a 10mm plug in it!

Uh, I must be going blind. Thanx, a picture is truly worth 1000 words.

Nice manifold btw...

Happy to help JJ!

"There is a spare 1/8 bsp port in the main gallery in front of the oil pressure sender towards the front of the block on the exhaust side."

IJ: A litttle confusion about thread standards between our countries. Are you sure that port is 1/8 bsp? If so is it bspt or bspp (taper or parallel)? Why would a metric engine have a bsp threaded port? Help me out here Mate

 

[IJ.]

BSPt JJ!

Dunno why but Japan held onto a lot of imperial sizing for threads on their cars!

Most aftermarket senders/hoses use NPT and while they're similar there's enough difference to either destroy the threads or leak (1 tpi difference and a different taper angle)

I leave the sender port bspt and tap the port near the filter in/out to npt for the AN fitting to the Turbo.

 

[jetjock]

You seem to really know your thread standards. Yeah, we use national pipe over here, it's what I'm used to. Great idea on tapping the filter port too. I'll take your advice and set it up for AN-4 or 6 and go from there.

Thanks again from the "Two Js".

Again very welcome JJ!
