Oil Sandwich Plate Adapter...

asianhulk · 06-17-2007, 03:52 PM

Just wondering your inputs on the sandwich plate adapters...pros? cons? V.S. oil galley plug location...and what you all are running and why..thinking about getting some gauges in the future and would like to know from some personal experience.

Well, i just installed gauges and the oil galley seems more efficient. thats what i'm running, thanks to Jerry at Conti. We were going to use the oil filter sandwich, but with my car, there's no clearance for it and the sending unit. Oh, well. The oil galley is a more permanent location for the sending unit. It is also much more involved. If you do it yourself, be prepared to be patient and spend alot of time on it to do it right. Jerry can probably tell you more.

can you run two sending units from the oil galley plug...like pressure and temp?

MikeyMike · 06-18-2007, 04:13 PM

i doubt there is clearance. Here is a pic of mine and how tight it is with just one sending unit. If thats your case, and you want 2, you'd be better off with the sandwich.

with each type of sandwich, which are more accurate? and by how much off of the galley location?

SQUAD_907 · 06-18-2007, 07:27 PM

when i ran my defi gauges i had the defi sandwhich adapter...it was like an add on to the oil filter location...only reason i mention brand is because ebay versions have been known to leak and i know a few people that have run the greddy one with no issues...

i've seen this done with a small flex hose to relocate the senders where there's more room. i'd still rather tap a main galley then use the filter adaptor.

how do you keep the shavings from drilling and tapping it from going into the engine?

You don't drill anything, you remove the oil galley hex plug and insert the oild galley adapter, then screw in the sending unit.......that is how subi does it when they add the gauge pack on the dash

please tell me more

prometheum · 06-19-2007, 07:00 AM

anyone want to chime in what those 2 plugs are for next to the filter?

asianhulk · 06-21-2007, 11:45 PM

bump what is more accurate in terms of reading times...galley or sandwich?

MikeyMike · 06-22-2007, 12:30 AM

it doesnt matter. the sending unit is on the oil pressure directly.

shortfuseWRX · 06-22-2007, 11:53 PM

id get the greddy for ease of install. and its easier to remove sensors if you need to. just go up under the car where the oil filter is and unscrew them. as far as accuracy, oil pressure is pretty straight forward probably better at the bottom of the motor than the top because it take pressure to circulate oil through the filter and temp will be better at the bottom near the oil filter with an adapter because it will always be in the oil. also this way you may not need to remove the intercooler.
