Need help on this one.

I figured out that the oil temp sender in the oil pan only feeds the sub-zero system, which I have already removed.

I'd like to use this location for an oil temp gauge in my new dual pod setup.

Anyone know what type and size fitting the oil temp sender is? Like I'm sure it's not a NPT being on a metric car.

Thanks in advance,

Scott

 

Stock oil temp sender on the oil pan? I think you are mistaken. There is a level sensor there. The cold start assist uses coolant temp readings as a reference.

 

rxseven, your right and wrong. Yes theres an oil level sensor, but right aft of it is an oil temp switch for the sub zero system. That system does NOT use coolant temp.

Sorry dude I dunno the thread size offhand. Its a machine thread, I remember that much.

 

Thread size anyone?

 

Since I don't have easy access to an RX-7 oil pan, I'd say the thread pitch is either 14mm x 1.5, or 16mm x 1.5, or 18mm x 1.5. Regular aftermarket gauges use NPT, which is close to its metric counterparts, but not a perfect match.

 

I'd say it's close to 1/4 npt from looking at it the other day.

 

Well just to finish up this thread, the oil temp sender for the worthless sub-zero system is threaded M14x1.5. And yes, it is in the oil pan next to the oil level sensor.

Case closed.
