ok alot of people say that 4AN is the right size and alot say 6AN is the right size. Now what do you think is the right size and why? Dont just put "6AN cause thats what im using". Give a reason. Also what could happen if you use too small or too big of a size? TIA

**** i want to know because i just ordered a bunch of 4an line for my ls/vtec..god please let it be 4an

i know they used 4an for the ls/vtec build on c-speedracing.com

 

It's impossible to make it too big, unless the hood won't close.

Considering the size of the oil feed to the head, and the tiny volume required by the vtec system, I would say that 4AN would be enough. I've used that on a motor, and it was fine. The oil drain is tiny anyway, and so is the fitting on the back of the block.

A little skeptical aren't we? The motor lasted long enough for me to want a type r block and rev some more, around 5k miles. It didn't fail, I just didn't like it.

oh ok....well i built this one for boost (je and eagles) and other goodies so i just dont wana see it fail due to a stupid small hose lol.

 

It won't fail, the worst that can happen is that is that vtec won't work. But it will.

 

All you need is 4an line, you don't need to flow lots of oil so a small line is fine.

 

ty guys!

 

-4 or -6 will be fine...on the engines I build with shimmed oil pumps,I run a -6.
