I am using a stealthmode kit. and the line fits fine on the turbo side of the return but does really come close to fitting on the pan side. trying to figure out what my options are. any help is appreciated. thnx

Heres a pic of what I'm dealing with.

 

also what temp does oil run at in the return line? locally i can get some rubber 212 F hose. I'm thinken that may work.

 

The drain line has a 5/8 inside diameter. I'm not sure what diameter of that fitting you're using is, but it looks like you'll either need to change that fitting, or get a larger hose.

How is that fitting attached to the pan?

 

looks like its gonna end up being a big mess of oil lol.

 

its been welded on and then hit with a good amount of jb weld. wasn't my crappy job, the person i bought it from did it. I'll probly just go with a different hose. but is 212 degree hose going to be ok? I don't know where to find any higher temp hose.

 

the diameter of the fitting on the pan is a little under 3/4" . grinding the bead will do nothing. and hopefully it will not be a mess

Its hard to tell from the picture but that fitting doesnt look extremely fluid and may cause a headache when you begin clocking your turbo. You could weld a better fitting on.

Another option would be the moroso replacement plan. I used it and there have been zero leaks.

aeroquip makes 300F rated hose (blue). check their website for dealers in your area (plumbing stores). its not braided and i wouldn't use braided line on the type of fitting you got there.

thanks vtec.dc2 i'll look into it. so some think this fitting may cause a problem. y?

 

use some heater hose. it works just fine. used it numerous times on a lot of cars. and its cheap.

 

I would either put the pan fitting that came with the kit in and block that one you have, or find a larger diameter hose. If you go with a larger diameter hose, you're also going to need a new barb coming off the drain flange as well.

 

yah i ordered a new barb fitting allready. i'm gonna give the push on hose a go. those aeroquip hoses look pretty sweet. If it leaks hopefully I can find someone local that drills. and taps pans.
