Hi can anyone help my micra turbo oil feed runs from the turbo to a sensor below the inlet manifold, all good however i have noticed a leak.

I have used two LMA Oil Pressure T-Piece one for the sensor and one for the oil feed has anyone used anything different as mine leaks so obviously isn't quite suitable.

Thanks Paul

Will try that, are they the connectors usually used? or do other people use other ones as the oil is gonna be hotter than any plumbing pipe will get?

on the note of oil pressure. I want to connect up my oil pressure gauge without having to drill into the block etc, where can i get access to a oil pipe that runs engine pressure? same place as this inlet one for his turbo feed?

any pics would be great help.

I speak with some rally guy who can get all kinds of stuff wide arch bodykits around £900, inlet manifolds for throttlebodies around £65, roll cages, uprated clutches, rear disc convertion kits that sort of thing.

Just upscrew your oil pressure switch and connect a braided oil line to it going to a connection block with a couple of outlets on it..1 for your switch, 1 for your gauge.

Nis.

P.S I can vouch for the PTFE Tape.
