i have a 2000 civic with the greddy turbo kit its a td05 18g turbo. my problem is my oil line fitting going into the turbo is leaking bad. i was looking around everywhere to see what size fitting that was, before i take off the manifold and everything. i heard on some other forums that greddy uses odd size fittings if anyone could help me out and knows what size fitting it is i would appreciate it.

thanks honda-tech

 

Is it leaking where the fitting meets the turbo or where the line meets the fitting?

And if you're in a bind, go to home depot in the plumbing section. The have all sorts of the little brass fittings. It's where I got all of mine and I think I'm running like 1/8th npt or something. (dunno).

If possible post a pic and mean time keep an eye on the oil and let us know exactly which side it's leaking from.

 

im pretty sure its leaking when it meets the turbo. i cant really get to it and check it out i have to take the manifold off and turbo so i can change it. the thing is i dont want to take it off and have the wrong fitting then put it back together without it being fixed then take it off again. cause it is my DD. and i need it everyday to get back and forth to work.

 

are you talking about oil feed or oil return?

and have you tried the simple things first, like tightening it to see if it's loose or stripped, and/or teflon tape/liquid?

 

im talking about the oil feed line going into the turbo and no i havent tried tightening reasons y. i need to take the turbo and manifold off and if it is the fitting i want to make sure i have one and make sure i have the right one because i need the car everyday for work.
