Machined from a solid piece of stock, this distribution block was geared for the turbo enthusiast in mind. Although we used this block on NA setups as well.
Designed to be a bolt in solution for turbo guys and the never ending quest to feed oil to your turbo reliabily and hassle free. Comes with two (2) 1/8 NPT ports to attach up to two after market gauge senders, and one (1) 1/8 bspt port to accomodate the stock oil pressure sender.
Bolts to the axle bearing bracket (see below) and comes with all the fittings needed for this unit. It includes the following
(2) -4an male o-ring boss fittings (leak free heaven)
(1) 1/8 NPT plug (for those only running one sender)
(1) 1/8 bspt to -4an male adapter (to fit into the stock oil pressure sender port)
All you have to provide is -4an hose, hose ends, and a longer axle bracket bolt. From there your all set.
This unit has a restrictor area just under the *S* in the *CS* logo, built in for you to add in your own custom oil restrictor size. You just need to have a drill of the apropriate size, 1" or longer to reach the restrictor plate. Drilling this hole will allow oil to flow completly thru the unit feeding your turbo unit.
Assembled with all fittings, showing stock oil pressure sender and NPT plug.
For you NA guys, this is a handy piece to run aftermarket oil pressure senders since the unit is not drilled thru completely, provides a means to run both the stock oil pressure sender and aftermarket oil pressure sender as well. A plug is included to block off one of the 1/8 NPT ports.
At this time we do not recomend running a temp sender in this block for NA guys. We are researching the feasibility of running a temp sensor in there and draining back to the oil pan.
Nice, i think i may have to get one of those from you...with the .030 fitting PLEASE What do you want for one of those nifty oil lines from the block to the valve body?

okee dokee, ill drill the block 0.030" since you said please
The oil lines themselves youll have to source on your own, as each setup is differet. There are two types of axle brackets that I know of, what is shown is one of the two.
I think Big John has the other type on his VVL, check his gallery for that When I installed this on Peter J's B14 I used about a foot to run from the oil port adapter to the block and had to *loop* it so the straight fittings would work. He had the LSD axle bracket, which is different than the one shown.
pat how about some triple gauge plates for where the radio goes like the radio delete piece from nissan but will be nicer in aluminium with the holes already cut.

I'm not so sure what male o-ring boss fitting are?
It looks like there's:
(1) 1/8 bspt to -4an male adapter (to fit into the stock oil pressure sender port) which goes to a line that goes to the block. Are the fittings that connect this line to the distribution block included?
Now at the block there is a 1/8 bspt port for the stock pressure sensor.
A 1/8 npt port that I will be using for my autometer oil pressure.
Then there's another 1/8 npt, that I'll be blocking for now with the included plug.
Then there's the oil feed that has a restrictor built in. Which I would like to have drilled out since I'm not running a ball bearing turbo. From here is the fitting that adapts this port to a -3 an fitting for the oil feed to the turbo. Is this included?
I'll also need to stick my head under my car this weekend and make sure that the axle bearing bracket is the same on altimas.
At this point I have to admit I'm not totally sure if I have -3 an or -4 an lines. I'm not sure if you can get -3 an to 1/8 npt pieces, if you can please let me know.

Nothing special really, just a oring that is on the threaded portion that seals in a VERY special port that is cut specifically for this. If you dont have that special cut port, you cant use orings on there. This provides a superior leak free joint. See image below.

Everything is included with the block, the only thing you will have to provide is hose and hose ends (-4an) to get the two connected.

Yep, for the turbo guys, you can put an oil temp sender in that second 1/8 npt port.

Yes, all fittings shown (minus oil pressure sender) come with the kit. And its -4an going out to the turbo. I can drill that out, just decide on what size you will need that restrictor to be.

IIRC, I believe -3an and -4an use the same thread spec so they *should* interchange. Do some research on that, the thread spec on the -4an fitting is 7/16-20.
Here is a better look at the complete kit unassemebled.

So I'd need to get the actual hose from the block to the block and the hose end from that hose to the block?

Is there any way to get -3an and -4an boss fittings? It's going to be on my daily driver, I'd be willing to risk some bucks in order to make sure I can get it done in one day. Or are you saying that the fittings and the threads should be compatiable between -3 an and -4 an?

Very interested, I was going to order some parts from summit to in order to do something similiar to this, but this is so much stabler and nicer.

Yep, I believe I stated that quite clearly. But here is my setup for reference.
-4an hose end to attatch to the 1/8 bspt -4an adapter (straight)
-4an hose (bout 9-12")
-4an hose end to attach to the inlet on the oil dist block (straight)
-4an hose end to attach to the outlet on the oil dist block (90* im going under the block)
-4an hose (length to be determined)
-appropriate fitting to attach to turbo oil inlet (I use a banjo with a 4an fitting on there, so for me its just another 4an hose end, to be determined) These are the fittings im using on my T25 setup

No, Im only supplying the -4an fittings.

Id say spend the money and get the right hose and hose ends, your talking $40/$50ish on all those to connect this block. On my setup that was 5'-6' of -4an hose, and four appropriate -4an hose ends, see above. What I am saying is that -3an and -4an hose ends might have the same thread, so they might interchange.

Thanks, this is a true bolt in solution, the major pita is getting that oil pressure sender off. Get a new one for good measure.
