I have a big problem... My t3 turbo, for the oil feed fitting, doesn't have the threads to properly screw in a oil feed fitting. So, i take my brass oil feed, and dremel off the threads. Pop that baby in, and jb welded it. When i go to screw in the line, the jb weld just breaks off and the fitting comes out!! This has happend twice. So now my question, can i just normaly weld my brass fitting on to my turbo?? Anyone else have any other solutions? PLEASE HELP!!!

i'm in the middle of my turbo install, and this is going no where

 

Can't weld brass to cast iron.

Why not tap out the center housing?

 

any idea what size tap i need?? Oh, i need to buy a new fitting now... I orderd my last one from a interent website along with my other stuff. I don't think they'll let me buy only one fitting this time.

 

usually the inlet is 1/8" NPT

 

anyone know where i can get these fittings?

 

does that fitting in the picture look like a 1/8" npt ?? thanks

 

yes the bottom side on all of those are 1/8" npt

what size of oil feed line are you using ? -3 or -4 ?
I can get you some more of those fittings...

 

those are -4, should i be using smaller ones?

 

alright, dustin, i took your advice and tapped the hole... now theres little bits of metal inside which i can't really take out. Should i be worried about that, or will the oil just wash that out??

 

definately need to get the stuff out. take some carb cleaner or brake cleaner and flushit out if you don't have access to air. do'nt want that to get into the turbo bearings.
