Turbo oil feed source
Just getting everything together for my turbo build and am looking at different options for my oil source. Anybody seen/used this block by CBR?? Looks to be a pretty slick unit.

I would just tap the factory block-off plate and screw in a -4 fitting and be done with it. It will take you about 10 minutes to drill and tap in a vise and the fitting, tap, and drill bit will probably only cost you around $15 bucks.

stupid question, but where is the block off plate? i'm guessing we're talking about an LM7
*nevermind, i'm guessing you're talking about the piece above the filter and not the plug at the front left side

For those of us that have a factory oil cooler, using an adapter plate for the feed isn't an option. I have a leaky line that runs from the block to the oil cooler so I came up with this.
I just used some hard line adapters, a gauge adapter, and some Aeroquip PushLok hose. I have yet to install it, but hopefully this weekend or next I will. Till I get the turbo on I will have my oil pressure sending unit on the gauge port running to my gauge in my pillar.
I think the total price was less than $120 which isn't bad since the hoses needed replaced anyways, and it serves a double purpose.
