I'd give it a miss also if they don't supply what other manufacturers can supply.

Thats a good idea, but will require an extra 4 extra hose ends + 2 tees (one out, one return) which may work out more expensive than the sandwich plate. Ill get prices tomorrow and sus out the prices for different setups and list them

Project r, it will be priced according to its function. With the Grex one you are looking at 180 for the external plate alone, not including a engine mating plate or line + fittings.

With what i have available, you will have the options of running a cooler, sensors, and a larger common filter, and the price will reflect what sort of functions are supplied. Unfortunately, a thermostat control for a cooler isn't possible at the moment. Is that what you mean?

dont care for the thermostat. dont need one for our climate.

holes for sensors and same M20x1.5 oil filter adaptor is what i'm talking about.

none of their product have these.

I'll upload a photo of what I meant when I get home

Basically its a block that looks like a t piece but the sensor screws into the t part

There is a male to male inline adapter with a 1/8" port for a pressure or temperature probe (EDIT: I think this is the sort of thing you mean Ice88). This can be connected at either the external plate or the mating plate, requiring no extra fittings (other than the adapter itself) to increase cost.

Also, there are two external filter plates available. One with two inlet and outlets on the sides which appears to have a port for a 1/8" port which i will verify tomorrow. The single inlet/outlet one appears not to have this feature though.

As for the filter thread, unfortunately that is not available, but unless you want to run your old filter i don't see how it affects the functionality of the final product.
