Check it out, there hydraulic oil lines. Add a 1/2" fitting to weld into your oil pan, and use the fitting that comes with you DRAG kit and you're set. All for under $10. Havent tried it yet, looks promising tho. Only SNAFU could be a heat issue, i'm not toatally sure what affect heat would have on this line, but there's always heat wrap

Any opinions?

I will be upgrading my oil lines(possibly SS) before I even start to install my Drag kit. Just curious, those lines look to be rubber as well. How are those more resistant to heat than the one's Drag provides? Wouldn't you need something a bit more heat resistant, hence ss or something?

there are some options that you can go with...

you can connect a steel or aluminum pipe from the drain to the oil pan...
permanent... pain in the *** for removal later...

secondly, i can provide you with a kit using SS braided and AN fittings
easy install... SS braided lines can take up to 300F of continuous temperature...

i'm trying to get some pics and average lengths for easy installs...

thirdly, you can use Earl's super stock hose. some people use this hose for oil coolers... but, the oil draining from a turbo is a lot hotter... this hose is rated at 250F...

once i get my hands on a digy, i'll start taking pics of some oil coolers, oil drain, oil feed, fuel lines... that i'll start fabricating for sale...

IM me if you're interested...

These lines are used in hydraulic lifts, presses, etc. They are made specifically for transporting and withstanding the effects of oil. I picked up a piece of 24" X 1/2" diameter over my lunch break, it was the shortest that had in stock, but it only cost me 8 bux. Upon close inspection of the line I learned that is says flame resistant on the outside, and its stiff but flexible like SS lines.

Seeing as how I have some big clearance issues up front. (88 CRX hybird w/ big turbo). i'm hoping the longer oil line allows for some reduced hassle on my parts, as it's tight up front for my setup, i'm talking DD's in a A cup tight..... I'll try and get some picks of the install......it's in the works so i'll have to hurry and find some batteries somewhere......

The lines DRAG provide are no more than a peice of heater hose, which if you notice when you spill oil on your radiator hose it will eat it away over time, think about a line disolving from the inside out............

that is a great idea, wish more of the experienced guys would think of this.
