Thermostatic sandwich plate w/npt fittings

redondoaveb · 04-21-2020, 07:44 PM

Anybody know of a thermostatic sandwich plate that has 2- 1/8" npt ports? I want to run my oil temp and oil pressure gauges off of it.

Has anyone run a non-thermostatic plate as a daily driver?

Yes, The Fast Intentions TT kit has a remote filter mount that is not on a thermostatic plate. May be best to run a remote setup.

That is a possibility. I talked to Kevin at FI today and he didn't have any suggestions. He didn't mention their remote set up but I only asked him about a sandwich plate. Specialty Z has a mishimoto non thermostatic plate on their website with two npt ports. I have an email into Seb to see if he thinks I can use it without my themostatic plate. I don't have enough room to stack the two.

Someone yesterday just posted about on a remote oil filter set up. Believe it had ports in the plate. I don't remember if if was a thermostatic or not. I kind of glazed over it.

If I don't need a thermostatic, I'd just buy the plate. I did find a mishimoto thermostatic plate with two ports, I just don't know if it'll work on the Z. I'll call mishimoto tomorrow or hopefully I'll hear back from Seb tonight.

Any pics on where the FI TT relocates the filter?

Here's where you can add a sensor to your existing oil cooler kit.
AN Sensor Adapter Fittings | Improved Racing

If you want a better Thermostatic sandwich plate (you'll pay $ for it)

Oil Filter Sandwich Plate with Thermostat for Oil Coolers ENV-131

They also have a remote filter plate I'm using. But just some ideas.

Had a brain fart and couldn't think of who it was.

Looks like they bumped the price up since last time I saw. They just redesigned the thermostatic sandwich plate. If I knew stuff like this was available years ago... After my motor let go, I'm hyper sensitive about my oil system lmao. Worth every one of that $250.

The sandwich plate you're listing doesn't appear to have the 1/8" npt ports. Is that right?

No, but they may be able to modify that plate to include an NTP sensor adapter fitting or assist in integrating one to your oil system.

If I remember right. The OEM pressure senor has different thread pattern then the 1/8 NPT. The adapter I bought for my psi gauge had both sizes.

Oil Pressure Gauge Adapter (BSP & NPT)

If you're relocating your filter, then this adapter plate is an option.
