well i need the adaptor plates for feed and drain that go on the turbo....i got the stainless steele lines with the screw ons at the end....any one know where i could get them ....locally maybe? just at a radom home or auto store?

 

if you are talking about a t3 oil drain/oil inlet flange you will not find this at your home store. LOL
The oil drain needs a flange regardless and there are a few companies who sell them, and a few stock cars that have them.
The oil inlet will need to be a flange if you oil inlet hole isnt tapped, if its tapped its most likley a NPT fitting

 

If your oil inlet isn't tapped, you can tap it with a 1/8npt tap and then you can eliminate the need for a flange. The drain flange you'll need is a 50.8mm

The drain flange will not be available at the local hardware store or speed shop, you'll need to get one of those from someone who specializes in forced induction parts. (Like perhaps a well-known reputable Honda-Tech sponsor )

Also, you'll need to know the size of those stainless lines. Hopefully they are -3, but -4 will also work. Once you know what size you have, you'll need fittings to go from the line to the turbo. For example a 1/8NPT Male to -3 AN Male for the turbo inlet.

On the drain side, once you have the drain flange installed, you will connect a 1/2NPT fitting or a -10AN line, then into the pan.

Here are a couple of pics of the different drain flanges for the T3 that are available.

Do you already have a source for oil from the block?

AN Style


1/2NPT Style


Hope that helps,

Craig

i had the same problem where my turbo wasen't tapped for a fitting, i got the flange and gasket for it off of ebay, but i had to find a dual male ended fitting to attach the feed line to the adapter. the problem i'm running into is that i can't find an oil restrictor that has the same thread as the adapter and the line.

here's how i have mine setup now: (sorry i don't have a closer pic)

 

thanks for the responses guys....right now i got the 1/8 NPT fitting at O'rileys and went in like butter...the inlet was already tapped...now as for the drain i still need to get a flange....the steel line for the drain does not reach from the tapped NPT fitting on the oil pan to the drain site of turbo....would a heat hose work just fine or what do you all suggest other than another stee line?......and another question....the inlet is done..the feed line is connected and all...but the inlet is facing toward the intercooler and the drain is facing towards the block...one is at 3 oclock while the other is at nine....does that harm anything?...i turned it on just to see if the feed line was feeding and it sure was...alot of oil came out through the drain side....but will the oil go to the oil pan properly when the line is put on??...thanks

 

the inlet and outlet for the oil feed/drain need to be up and down vertically. they absolutley can not be horizontal. you need to clock the center section of the turbo so that the feed comes in from the top and the drain comes out the bottom.

 

ok just clocked it and now they are facing the way they are suposed to....all i need is that drain flange!
