Well that could be the main issue. There was no piston in the face that was in the car, I don't think. The horizontal hole is open. I have since replaced this with the piston from the other face. What does this do?

Thanks

 

What I mean is I replaced the face with the other face. I know there was no piston. Can't wait to get off work and get this thing back on the road. Haven't had the fire department there in almost a week and the neighbors are looking bored.

This is what I do every time.

 

What hole does the regulator go in? Left or right? Both seem to go no where.

 

I believe u have a wrong pix...thays the driver side of rear plate

 

Sorry. I meant the sensor.

 

You got to be kidding that you dont know which is which

 

Actually no I'm not. Are both of the holes for sensors? They look the same, same thread and neither have a hole to the oil passage up to the filter. Maybe I said it wrong because the pic is tipped. I am referring to the two identical holes right in the middle. On my other motor the sensor goes right under the filter.

 

There's no oil pressure gauge port. Its an older jspec rear plate

 

There is really not a lot of information out there on these rear plates. It looks like I can drill and tap myself but can't find any write ups on this. I would swap them out for my other plates but these are my ported plates.

 

you can do that (personally, i would not) ... OR ... you can just get the RB aftermarket setup and be done with it.

 

+1. You can tap the rear OC line banjo bolt for oil pressure

 

What you have there is a 17 tension bolt R5 rear iron.

To drill and tap your rear iron properly, it is best to dissassemble the engine. However if that is too much work, you can just take off the oil pan, remove the rear oil pressure reg and the banjo bolt. This allows the metal debris to be cleaned out. Then drill and tap as you normally would, and clean it all out really well.

It should look something like this when done.

By the way this was drilled and tapped, then assembled.

 

Buy the rebuild video. It goes over all of this and then some. Learn it, love it, live it.

Thanks for all the help. I just got the motor back together and don't really want to tear it apart again. I think the banjo bolt idea would be best for now.

 

Banjo bolt or you buy the oil filted adapter or in-between block from racing beat. Banjo bolt is proven to be the best alternative, take it from me as im mr el cheapo lol

 

I know all about being cheap. I want to retire someday.

 

Nah, you should get some quality tires. Cheap ones aren't going to handle all that well.

 

had i not just fallen asleep, i might have been to exhausted to catch that.
