it will work as long as the oil pressure port is 1/8 bspt, which they should be on all SR20's, RR included. You many have to route the supply line differenlty.
Hey Pat that Fragola Performance site doesn't let you order online any more. You don't know what happened to their site do you? Any other sites you know of that will let you order online with paypal?

Thanks man, also if you need any documentation of your water temp gauge adapter being used on a det'd p10 let me know. My buddy got video of his setup with one of yours installed, looks sick.
kinda sort of...I *looped* the line coming from the oil pressure sender port. I went from that, towards the drivers side, then looped it up and back down so it came into the block from the top.
Pat, what are your thoughts are using this piece for the VE oil feed line, stock low oil pressure sensor and for an aftermarket oil pressure sensor all at the same time? The aftermarket oil pressure sensor and VE oil feed line are 1/8" NPT threads.

I dont see any problem with using this block to feed oil to a VE head. The block would need to be drilled thru (where the restrictor normally is) to give full pressure going to the VE head. Very similar to this setup..
...but more hose, hose ends and routing involved. It will give you the ports for the stock oil pressure sender, plus aftermarket temp and pressure senders. Youll probably get more accurate readings on the temp side of things since a larger volume of oil will be moving thru it.
So is your stance on using this for the temp. sender changed since the original thread started? Also, could you drill it out for a full pressure running? Do you think that this will effect the pressure sensor for the OEM or aftermarket piece at all?
No, my stance on using this for the temp probe for NA guys is still the same. But for feeding this to a VE head, you are significantly increasing the oil flow thru the block. Therefore getting more accurate temp readings. With PeterJ's testing we had a 0.060" restrictor in the block (similar to turbo guys) and I posted the findings in the link above, you can make the judgment call.
Reguardless, and in any case, having the oil temp probe in the lower pan is by far THE best location for it, In that location your getting the hottest oil temps coming from the engine and in real time. Most people dont have the resouces to do this, so this provides a convenient place for it even *** the readings may not be nuts on, they are close enough.
As for oil pressure using this on a VE head, the system is still a closed setup so yes, you should be getting accurate pressure readings.
I agree on the temp question. I have triple divider on an oil ine going to the block, I got at the time form Kevin ' Skymera' , to hook up[ oil press senders and temp gauge. Temp gauge is slow and too low indicating however, so I think I want one of you blocks now: do you have any in stock for immediate shipping to Toronto M5G 1Z3 ? Still 85 USD ? Let me know.
Just a question. IF I use this in a NA application how does the oil that travels down the hose to the Oil Pressure Sensors get back into the oil loop for the rest of the motor?

so for na you dont need to feed the line back into the lower pan? just terminate the oil line at the dist block? i would like this block for my oil pressure gauge but im not turboed... yet. could i just get a -4an plug until i need the line to the lower pan?
