go to fluidline and get a stainless steel braided line about 4-5 feet long. Also get a "tee" so you can "tee" the stock oil pressure sending unit on the back of the block. You will also need a conversion fitting to go from BPT to NPT (or vice versa, i can't remember) so you don't destroy the threads in the back of the block where the "tee" goes.
Just take the oil pressure sending unit to them and explain what you need done, they'll help you out.
The "tee" will go in the back of the block (where the oil pressure sending unit used to be) then the oil feed line will go from the top of the "tee" to the turbo, and the stock oil pressure sending unit will go in the other side of the "tee". Its pretty simple really.

i'll say it again, not a single thread anywhere on any honda block will be BPT or NPT, those are both ****** threads (SAE). Honda is from Japan, every last thread will always be metric. what you need is an M10x1 hydraulic fitting or banjo bolt, whatever you can find. Only place I've been able to source stuff like this is Summit Racing through either Aeromotive or Earl's (Holley).

well i guess the fluidlyne guys don't know WTF their talking about then, either that or they gave me a metric conversion fitting (but i doubt it) b/c i've used this setup 3-4 times now without a single problem, no leaks, no broken fittings, nothing.

lol @ ****** threads.
