Hey all need some help...
I have a Greddy oil cooler, no filter relocation, and just got in my Defi Blue Racer gauges for Oil temp and Pressure. I thought the oil filter adapter in the greddy kit would have ports for the two gauges, as it does say that in the item description, however, the ports on the the oil adapter are huge in comparison to the gauges sensors. I am pretty sure that the sensors are 1/8 NPT and the oil filter block I am not sure about. Here is a pic:

and the sensors:

So my question is what I need to make the gauges work, the fastest and most affordable solution. I don't want to have to buy the Greddy oil pan, as I need the car ready for the 17th (drift event) I know I can reuse the factory oil pressure port, but then what about the oil temp? Is there an adapter available, such as a reducer to go from the block down to a 1/8? How do I determine what thread size is in the oil adapter? Is there a 1/8 NPT tap & die that I could use to make a port on the bolt that covers the extra port? Anyone who has experience with the Greddy kit and can offer some help, it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance everyone...
