Oil pressure adapter

Hi all,

i replied to another thread about people who have experienced this but does anyone have any advice on installing cravenspeeds oil pressure adapter on the n18? I freed up as much space in the bay as possible but the angle of the adapter seems to hit some of the turbo lines. I have a 2013 and any suggestions advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Front end service/maintenance mode!

I just did this adaptor install a few weeks back. Spent half a morning scraping my hands trying to fit these parts. I ended up stripping the brass threads.
i found replacement parts at the auto store...another brand oil pressure kit.
The front end maintenance setup... should not need to drain the radiator, but I did to perform that maintenance while I was in there.
Super PIA without pulling the front out the extra five inches or so. It seems intimidating but it's not that bad. I would have saved a day if I would have started with the 25 minute's to set to front end service mode.

Nice job getting it done! I ended up breaking the sensor off the switch trying to get it off so I dropped it off at my mechanic. He got it done without having to put it in service mode either but said the same thing you did, huge pain in the butt!

It would be great to get an oil line that threads into the space of the switch and just relocate everything. It would have saved my time and my knuckles
