Default $115 for a nice oil Return line?

WTF?

I didn't expect to pay this much. I was going to order one tomorrow. But there is no way I'm spending $115. If I can't do it for $50-60. Then I'll use the cheap one that came with my Rev Hard kit.

Return:
Aluminum return flange found at turbocharged.com p/n is 20259.
-10AN flange side male to hose -- 824510
(2 ft needed) -10AN hose -- 400100
-10AN 45 to pan fitting -- 804610
-10AN union for tapping pan -- 981510
-10AN bluhead nut for union in pan -- 992410
Stratoseal for union (package includes 2) -- 178014

20259..............$13.00
824510............$36.88
400100............$20.20
804610............$28.71
981510............$5.98
992410............$2.33
178014............$8.10

It can't be done any cheaper?

Who sells Nice Oil return lines on here for Precision turbos?

Thanks

Mine was $98 I got them at a local speedshop so there was markup and tax im sure they can be had better over the internet at like JEGS or Summit.

BTW if any one needs a -10AN 45 degree swivel hose end I have one extra. Its used and ill sell it for $15.

Thats way to much, I go to this local shop, they sell oil line it steel braded inside with thick *** rubber inside and out, it cost like 15 dollars for like 5-6 feet. Its the better than ss, if you would like give me your email and I can send you some pictures. Total my oil piping cost me 30 something. Another guy used it and it touched his manifold for almost a week and still didn't burn though.

Nice post, Ryan. Do you really need 3 ft of return line though? It looks like it can be done with 2 easily in most cases.

Sonny
It only comes in 3ft. That's the shortest I could find..

But you can do this I guess?

$61 w/Straight Hose Ends
$81 w/45º bends on end of hose

$102 ($51 each) for 2 oil return line kits w/ straight hose ends.
$142 ($71 each) for 2 oil return line kits w/45º bends on end of hose
note: you can 1/2 the 3 feet of hose. That leaves 18" per return line.

Yes, I have a message waiting in my IM box from him.

I'm just doing a little research. Weighing my options.

Cheaper is always better in "My" case.

$115 is way too much. Just look in the phonebook under 'Hose and Fittings" and find an Aeroquip dealer. The 45º fittings were pretty expensize ($20) but, the straight was less than ten and I got about a foot of hose from them for free, since it was scrap from a larger project.

The aeroquip fittings are a little more then the Earl Auto-fit... not much though.

I have Aeroguip's hose on my list though.

Thanks for helping out though.

Ryan honestly it is worth every penny to have a bullet proof oil return line. I have seen the crappy stock revhards melt open cause of the downpipe. Most of them leak too. I bit the bullet and did it with SS line and earls fittings it was hard to spend the extra money but it was well worth it in the long run.

Yeah I know.

I think I'm going to go this route.


$142 ($71 each) for 2 oil return line kits w/45º bends on each end of the hose.

it's only $75 shipped and I get the 45º bends.

My best friend just bought a 2C kit. He also needs on. So it will work out.

how the hell did you get your feed fitting onto the line...
i wrap with tape (tightly..duct tape) and it would still flare once i took the tape off..no way in hell im getting my fitting around the steel line...now i can just push it around the rubber and the steel with spread a bit..would look ghetto but i think it will work.ive tried so hard and i just cant get it aorund the steel.
