So im going to make my own oil lines for my T25.
I was going to use a T25 flange from http://www.projectzum.com

and this brass hose barb I can get from work

Would this brass fitting be ok and not deform, melt, or come off? I'm not sure what temperature range brass works in before it starts to fail.

 

Brass works fine.

1/2" thread to 5/8" barb is what you want to use ideally.

Some of the t25 threads are 3/8" thread to 1/2" barb though.

 

Awesome thanks! Any input on what the oil feed would be and what kind of tubing I should use? Is there a certain type of tubing that is resistant to heat and won't degrade if I run oil through it? Going for the junkyard setup so cheaper is good. I'll make sure it doesn't touch anything hot, lol.

 

Run -3an stainless steel braided lines for oil. Don't cheap out and run some other bs. If it is a ball bearing there is a chance you may need a -4an restrictor fitting if the restrictor isn't built in the center cartridge. x

Stan over at fast-turbo.com has great package deals on oil kits which would save you a lot of time piecing stuff together.

 

No it's not a BB, just a reg T25 off a 2G eclipse. That was going to be my next question, do I need any kind of oil restriction for this turbo?

 

The brass fitting will be fine. That drain flange is a 3/8 thread. For the feed you'll need a 7/16 inverted flare, and with a -3 you won't need a restrictor.

scroll down to xenocron's post (#17). he's got a screenshot of all the parts you should need. very good post :thumbup

for return line:

for fittings, brass will do but i suggest aluminum swiwel fittings, they can be had in all kinds of bends, makes install easy.. in my case 45 and 90.. all depends on the type of slope you're going to have.

btw, them cheap brass fittings sold at most hardware stores can be easily damaged/cracked unless they're really large size.

for line, you want to choose the highest temp resistant, oil/coolant/water resistant lines.. aeromotive makes 300F rated (blue color) - its the highest one i found so far for barb type fittings. you should never see temps reaching 300F in a honda

i simply replace my line every 2 years to be on the safe side, i also run that orange material over the line (can't htink of the name) it is flame resistant and enough protection.
