I got to see @bjun 's car today. Pretty sick. There needs to be more of this setup in DFW.

Haha thanks again!
I got a few people interested in the kit
Maybe it'll be like the guys in Cali where they go tracking together

The thought of it with a GTX28 makes me giggle.

@CSG Mike has tested 3 different ptuning equipped 86's on the tracks here in Cali.

Here's a video of me at a new track
weather was 30 degrees. I did not get the oil cooler installed on time but no problem with heating thanks to the weather.

Anyone using Innovate Oil temp/pressure gauge with the PTuning oil cooler?
The oil gauge adapter is a 1/8 NPT thread while the gauge is 1/8 PT...
Anyone find a solution to this? I tried looking for an NPT to PT adapter but no luck so far.
Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

I believe @sw20kosh had to use some adapters for his oil pressure gauge. I'm using the Defi gauge, which has a sensor that fits perfectly with the oem threaded galley plug (1/8" PT).

Thank you! I hope Sw20kosh can chime in here
But you say the Defi gauge was 1/8" PT. My Innovate is also 1/8" PT. Where exactly did you plug in the sensor? Do you have pics I can see?

I used this plug: http://www.rallysportdirect.com/Suba...il-Galley-Plug

It replaces the plug next to the AC compressor. Not my pic, but pretty much the same setup here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45168

Never heard of 1/8" PT. 99.9% of aftermarket gauge sensor in 1/8" is either going to be 1/8" NPT or 1/8" BSP. The factory oem sensors are usually 1/8" BSP (specifically BSPT (T for taper)). There's also BSPP (P for parallel). both BSPP and BSPT are referred as BSP. But I'm certain, the innovate sensor uses 1/8" NPT. The innovate gauges that we installed recently for a customer using our ptuning oil cooler all had 1/8" NPT sensors (oil temp, oil pressure, and water).

Mr.C I am using this gauge
http://www.rallysportdirect.com/Inno...ure-Gauge-52mm
On the site it says 1/8" PT and also in the install guide sheet that came with the gauge says it's 1/8" PT also. I just ordered the optional Ptuning oil sensor adapter, so I will try it out when it arrives.
Also, your install guide was very descriptive and easy to follow; it made install enjoyable and not frustrating lol. And all the parts were very good quality. This is why I stick to PTuning

I believe they meant to type 1/8" NPT or someone at innovate thinks that there's only one type of (P)ipe (T)hread, when we all know that there are more a few pipe thread specs in use. That's like telling someone to go buy an M8 bolt without specifying the thread pitch

lol ok. Since you had no trouble installing on one of your customer, I will try it out once the block comes in

My oil sensor sending unit was NPT and the Oil Galley Plug from Rally Sport Direct was PT (also known as BSPT). So I used this:

But also the oil sensor sending unit was too fat to fit directly next to the AC condensor so I had to buy:

PT = BSPT

Had to do research to figure this out a while back. PT is terminology they use in asia or something but it is actually BSPT.
