I was just wondering can shaft play start or increase if a turbo doesnt get the currect amount of oil...?

CoreyR

sure it can, lack of oil will cause increased wear on the shaft bearings.

JUST2SPOOL

dame so this must be why i went through 3 turbos..
Cause i just noticed on my oil feed line that it hasnt been lettin enuff oil threw expletive.

CoreyR

where are you tapped for the oil feed? and what size line?

JUST2SPOOL

The oil sending unit.

the line is like 4 short hose's connected by 2 big fitting's


Hey what line should i have for my feed iam looking to buy a brand new one the correct one...

CoreyR

just buy the stealthmode kit, its like $42 shipped and it comes with the proper fittings and a -3an hose which is the size you should be using.

JUST2SPOOL

cool bro and what psi should be delievered to the turbo..
also will i need any restricter valves on it or will.. The line provide the correct amount of oil without modifaction.

Damn, 42 dollars is an way over priced. Just go to your local shop and get a some aeromotive fittings for like 2.69 a piece, and pic up a 4 foot -3an braided line for like 15. Much cheaper if you want to put the effort into it.

Napa only carries brake line, no braided. I couldn't find **** at ANY of the stores down my way. No 1/8" BSPT to 1/8" SPT fittings, no steel braided lines. Had to order all of my **** offline.

Just go to your local Aeroquip or Earls dealership and pick up the SS line, and whatever fittings work for you.

Then you'll need:
- A vice
- an adjustable wrench (if you don't have the aeroquip wrenches)
- the assembly oil
- hack saw or cutting wheel
- masking tape (keeps the SS line from fraying when you cut it)

- If you do it yourself, just keep in mind that you HAVE to twist the fitting as you push it on the line.

Ok thank's
I wish i had time to make one myself i think iam going to just find a cheap place online that sells them

CoreyR

$42 overpriced?. youll save like $5 by hunting all that **** down yourself. earls fittings are like $10-11 for a 3an and a 3an braided line will run at least 15-20. now have fun locating a 1/8" BSPT T fitting so you can run your stock oil pressure sensor.

do it the right way dont use gay *** push fittings on something as critical as oil feed lines.

JUST2SPOOL

True that and hey i looked on stealthmode and i didnt see any -3an all i saw was the -4an

JUST2SPOOL

Hey corey is there a diff between diesal and gasolline turbo's

Soccerking3000

nope a turbo is a turbo doesnt matter what type of motor its on. of course most diesel turbos tend to be larger than a typical gas enigne turbo.

No, you will save much more then 5 dollars. If you read my post the Areo 1/8NPt-3an fittings are 2.69 a piece and a 4 foot -3an brake line with the fitting already machine crimped on its 15-16 dollars. Thats about 20 bucks. And that T you talking about that is so hard to find, look in the autozone ricer section. There is a sunpro adapter kit that has everything you need, it even has an adaptor for and aftermarket oil pressure gauage feed line. It cost 6 dollars. Plus there is no shipping on any of this.
