Skull And Bones KA Oil Adaptor Block - Introductory Group Buy
 

WHAT IS IT?
The first oil block for the DOHC KA that allows for a proper oil cooler/relocation set up.

These pieces have been in development for a couple of months
by myself and Mike, my close friend who runs the machine shop where we both work at.
He's the guy that actually did the tough work designing, programming and developing these pieces,
I just helped where I could (There, happy Mike?).
We worked late hours and weekends, sweated blood (true story) trying to make
something that we personally would want to have in our cars.
Hope that we've succeed.

Looking at the pics won't the 3 1/8 NPT ports be blocked when the -8 fittings are screwed in?

They don't actually, that's just one of the details we
had to find solutions to while developing these
if I get a close up pic I'll post it

a picture of the port with the -8 fitting would clear this concern up

More pictures showing fittings and ports relation
plus installed fitment have been added as requested

The first handful of units have been sold
giving us some cash to buy more material and parts
another batch will be ready is about a month's time
anyone that wants one either PM me or post to this thread
and I'll get a list started

DAMN IT IM LATE FOR THIS. Im gonna send funds so i should get one next run

I watched Evan's thread with this part's development, looks like you guys did a great job - I predict success for this much-needed part for you KA'ers :)

It looks like 1/3 of the 1/8 NPT fittings gets covered up. I'm not sure the inner diameter of the 1/8 NPT but, wouldn't that restriction cause less oil to go into the turbo? Also, wouldn't it read oil pressure incorrectly since the sender would be located after the restriction?

A 1/8 NPT (national pipe thread) port is designed to be used with 1/8" Pipe or equivalent sized hose, as you can see far more than a 1/8" diameter is left uncovered. It's also worth noting most turbo feed lines get a .060" diameter restrictor in them to limit pressure, atleast all of mine have.

As far as the sender goes there will be no pressure difference either since there will be no flow through that port regardless.

Mike

Do you also have any extra plugs avialble for the 1/8" NPT ports?

so many fucking talkers on that thread
ill take one
i dont even have a KA but when i do, im ready!
haha
paypal you now.

money is SENT!!!!

2 plugs will come installed they are teflon coated steel plugs.

Mike

so are all these gone? or are we sending payment for a second run?

You're going to build a KA!?
cool, I'm curious to see what you'll come up with

Yes, we only had a few on hand from the development run

I'll start a list of tomorrow (monday),
of those paid and interested

hey if you guys make another batch im interested

i love seeing stuff like this , great contribution to the community.

We shipped out the first units today
and are noticing that shipping it $5
regardless of destination.
We're just going to make the price $140
for simplicity and that will include the paypal fee and shipping.

Nice doing business with you guys...I can speak on behalf of many people when I say that you are doing us all a great deed in releasing a product like this that larger companies simply won't spend the time to build.

I'll take one. =)

payment sent Pay Pal

nah might get a daily driver beater
and puttin an oil kit together w/ the left over parts i have is easy and cheap!

with an oil cooler do you still get the same milage out of the oil?

yes, you just will have slightly more oil capacity.

ok, list is underway
some of you guys already sent in payment (thank you)
more material was ordered today
should be in tomorrow
i'll try to keep this thread updated
and btw, feel free to spread the word out
we won't be mad... honest

Thx, can't wait to slap this thing on...once I find a cheap ka24de to built. lol

can't wait til payday to order mine! oh and that's $140 shipped for the anodized one's right?

do you have a picture of this installed in the bay? im curious to see how & where you ran the lines. Im just trying to see if it will look right in my bay, since im doing a full tuck right now. Also this could be used in conjunction with the Greddy Sr oil filter relocation kit correct? i mean if we wanted to make it a little easier for doing oil changes lol, not that the filter is that hard to change.

Add me to this list sirs going KA-T soon and this will be a good thing

Definetly add me to the list, I am pretty pissed about missing out on the first 6. I will send payment either tomorrow or wednesday. Thanks.

We're working on it.

Done

Won't take long we hope.
