anybody know what the thread sizes are of the rs turbo air-charge, and water sensors??. And the sizes of the cosworth air-charge and water sensors???
Is there an adaptor you can buy so the cosworth charge air and water sensors can fit in the same positon as where the sensors are fitted as standard on a rs turbo??
cheers Paddy...

 

Cosworth Temperature sensors, threads:
ECT – M12x1.5
IAT – M14x1.5

sorry, not certain of RST, but from memory IIRC they are 3/8" BSP

Hey there bruv

Nice to see u on here, the durham site is well quiet at the min..... not very often i see u posting on here.

Says her with only 30 posts

 

Paddy im sure you could just take scotts as he dont need them

Paddy give fen a ring he may have a full set

 

take a 3/8" - 1/4" BSP reducer bush, bore out the centre to tapping size and retap the metric thread inside.

ECT – M12x1.5 tapping drill size 10.5mm
IAT – M14x1.5 tapping drill size 12.5mm

you will find that the M14 thread leaves a VERY thin wall section inside the 3/8" reducer, and you will need to bore and tap it central to ensure the tap doesn't break out. The resulting adaptor will be quite fragile until everything is fitted - loctite the adaptor into the manifold or x-over pipe or wherever and pinch it up carefully.

 

cheers for the info peeps ...sis just keep posting
