Oil filter housing questions
I have an evo 8 with an evo 9 filter housing. Im trying to figure out the best way to do all this. I am going to add an aem pressure gauge. would it be best to put in a filter sandwich, find an adapter for one of the plugs or something else? Also in order to plug the oem sensor hole, what is the threading?
Im running the same AEM setup & i chose, out of being lazy, to do the sandwich. Its not the way our purists will advise as it does space down the filter & is a bit of sore thumb hanging down. Dont do what ive done LOL
Not sure about the thread type?

You can take out one of the plugs on the OFH and use this line to connect the Oil pressure gauge.

The Evo 9 has an 1/8 NPT hole on the filter housing for the OEM sensor location (your Evo9 should have the oil pressure switch on the block). Just use that. 1/8 NPT to -4an, 4an hose to the sensor with the AN adapter fitting on it.
The simplest way would be to use a direct adapter 1/8" NPT to 1/8" BSP: https://www.mcmaster.com/1786N127/
Here's the 3/8" BSP to 1/8" NPT, which is probably the port I'd use: https://www.mcmaster.com/1786N244/
Many people will recommend remote-mounting the sensor to extend its life though, since vibration can affect them. In that case, the AMS line would make it easiest. The sandwich is the last route I'd take.

Folks, reread what the OP stated. This is the best answer right here. IX OFH already has an NPT port for the oil pressure switch. He said he has an VIII so that should already be on back of his block hence unused port with no adapter necessary. I'd still remove mount it but no BSPT to NPT needed.
