Preping oil gauge, help
So im getting ready to tap the oil pan for my turbo drain.......that i seem to get. BUT what i dont get is where the oil comes from. I bought the stealth kit and they provided a coupling(?) with 3 ports. One for the line, one for the gauge i believe and another for something. Where does this go? wondering if anyone has a DIY or some pics or tips to help me out here. thanks

From the stealthmode website.
It says it has dual ports and I don't see anything about couplings in the pictures or description.
What kind of gauge did you get? Mechanical???? I just got an Autometer oil temp and oil pressure gauge, both included senders that need to be wired up to the back of the gauge. Just curious!
This is a Turbo feed and drain kit that uses a tuner toys block fitting and -3 stainless steel line (4ft). The block fitting, FOR HONDA MOTORS (B, D, etc...) has the correct 1/8 bspt threads for the oil pressure sending port. (Most oil lines come with 1/8 npt threads which are incorrect and may strip the block.) The same 1/8 bspt threads in the back the fitting for the reusage of the stock oil pressure sender.
Dual 1/8 npt ports are off the side of the fitting. One is for the oil feed line, and one maybe used for other applications (Gauges, ls/vtec, etc...). The drain consists of a tuner toys oil drain flange with a barbed fitting connecting the drain flange to the -10 stainless drain hose (14"). We use a barbed fitting on the lower end for the pan as well. Kit comes with everything you see.

Is it that thing in the lower right hand corner of the picture that carta posted? If so, you need to put that where the stock oil pressure sensor is above the oil filter. It threads into the block. You will be short one port, though.

No, my box is not full. I am just too lazy to get the part number because I am at work. I'll get it when i get home...or you can find it yourself at www.acuraparts247.com.
