this might work.
ebay link

it goes in between the block and oil filter. then you run lines off of it to you oil cooler.

look on the back of the oilpan, youll see 2 freezeplugs. those can be removed, then tapped for oil cooler lines. its what nitto used.

its called a sandwhich plate.

i got mine here for my gauges.

i'm almost there.

what size we gots?

M20 is what prosport says our size is. Must be right cause thats what I got. I assume the 20 by 1.5? on that link

the good thing about this plate though is there are 4 holes.

I used 2 for my gauges, so if i ever need to use others... i have 2 extra.  (oil pressure, oil temp)

i assume i'd plug those 2 up, and use the other 2 for the supply and return? it's hard to visualize this thing without having it in my hands. if anyone can verify that size, it'd be sweet. otherwise i'll call em up tmrw and place an order.

are you sure it's -4?  i was looking at this one.

ah come on! i need my glasses!

ah, your looking at a different one, that should work. i wouldnt go less than -8

see that's the thing, i'm not sure which one it is yet. i'll have to call them up tmrw since nobody knows for sure.

I used an oil sandwhich between the filter and the block.  It has a temp spring in it that opens when the oil reaches 180* F to allow the oil to go to the cooler.  I ran sslines up to the cooler which I mounted infront or the radiator on the left side.  Then cooler is a low pressure restriction cooler  that has differnt thickness fins for oil flow whether hot or cold.  The oild sanwich allows you to run a bigger filter.  To top it off it increases your oil capacity.  Which can be good, or bad when it comes on to an oil change.

it would be a good thing for me. what size/model/type sandwich did you use?

That is the adapter I bought.  Read the description.  You have to run a different filter. (PH3950)  I missed theat part during my first oil change after putting the adapter on and was stuck for a while.  lol

^^ the above link looks pretty good. can anyone confirm the size as 20mm with a 1.5 thread? if so, i'm buying it.

well, after a fruitless search through the FSM for actual dimensions, i hopped onto the oil filter website and found some good stuff.

http://www.power-21.com/honeywellpower21i/PartDetail.aspx?b=F&pn=PH7317

Anti-Drain Valve    YES
Product Height    3.47"
Product I.D.    20mmx1.5mm Th'd
Product O.D.    2.69"
Relief Valve Setting PSI    13

20mm by 1.5 threads. i'll be ordering the sandwich from glowshift, or whichever one i saw for 30 bucks. "build" pics to come.

update.

just waiting on the oil sandwich thing, it's shipping right now. i have an oil cooler around here somewhere, just trying to put together some fittings for it. i will be using SS lines for supply and return, and most likely using brass fittings for all the other pieces. i figure since the turbo guys use brass on all their oil feed and return stuff, i should be fine.

quick question, though: am i ok to use teflon tape on the fittings, or is the paste required? we used tape on the fittings for se-rman6's turbo spec with no leaks. opinions?

how is that wrong bee? it looks like the picture you showed me online

hopefully you won't have to pay shipping to return it. thats how it is for my vicky's orders

hmm if these adapters wont work for turbo cars supply and return how would it work for an oil cooler?

feed should come from the that sandwhich, but return goes back into the block via a tapped fitting (tapping the oil pan)

which one did you get that has a return port for the oil cooler? and what size is the fitting for the oil cooler lines? i need to get a sandwich that fits my oil feed, oil pressure sensor, and the feed/return ports for an oil cooler in the future.

hmm i think that wouldnt work for my set up. (the 2nd link)

if i use the two 3/8npt to  -10an fittings to the oil cooler, the the oil pressure sensor would be ok to use the 1/8npt but the oil feed line to the turbo would need a bigger hole i would think.

do you know if the 1/8npt holes are different? as in 1 is feed and the other is return? or are they both dead ends type?

i have a bunch of theories...

the "oil cooler sandwich" will be a "series" type of system (like wiring). you NEED that push from the oil pump to circulate oil through the cooler. with the part that i have on my desk now, the "oil sender adapter", it is all in "parallel", meaning there's no way for oil to circulate forcefully through the cooler, or in your case, the turbo. the piece on my desk just has 4 ports on it (see website for size) for sensors that don't require circulation or flow, such as an oil pressure sensor.

"Please just order this it's much easier this way!!!

well, figured out the problem. i had ordered the correct part, GlowShift just shipped me the wrong one. called up their customer service, they were very helpful and promised to ship out the correct one right away. in the meantime, i have a to make a trip down to this ballin' pipe shop to get my lines and fittings made up. pics should be coming this weekend.
