My oil pressure sending unit is leaking, my guess is that it is broken. Does any one know any places that sell 3ft -4 an steel braided oil lines and 1/8 bspt male to -4an fittings in the bay area? I need it as soon as possible. If not, what is a good place to order it from for overnight delievery? Price is not an issue at this point!

 

Not sure of the EXACT name of the place but it's off of HWY 880, exit A street. Going North bound make a left at the light, go under the overpass and it's on the right hand side. They sell all kinds of fittings and braided lines, and have a HUGE stock of products, as well. You can always try a local speed shop, too.

 

Are you talking about Vic Hubbard?

 

what city?

-Xerxes

 

If your referring to the name of the shop, NO. It's Performance something or other. Check the yellow pages, there are plenty of hole in the wall places that make a living selling high pressure lines and fittings(I know cause I needed a braided line for my oil supply a couple weeks ago) Good Luck

 

Hayward.

 

I think he is talking about Vargas Turbo in Hayward their phone number is (510) 537-2266. if you can do me a favor, once you find a place to get the oil lines, can you e-mail the place you went to in the bay area and how much it costed, because i need to buy mine soon. Email: deep@sibia.net
thanks,

Nope, not Vargas either. This place is RIGHT off of 880 on the right if your coming off the Southbound (A Street) exit.

 

I found it!!! The place is Vic Hubbard auto supply. Also called V/H auto supply in Hayward. Right off of 880 on A street. They carry all the fittings. I am going there today to pick up the parts I need. Phone number is 510-786-3550

 

you can also try speed merchant in downtown san jose.

 

Yeah, that's it. So, that's what V&H stands for. Koo.

 

HMMmm i'm gonna have to check those places out. I was about to place an order with anplumbing.com but i haven't heard back from them yet about parts they don't have listed on their site.

I want to get a -3 stainless line for my oil feed & oil pressure line (the line that goes from the block to the tee where all my senders are) BUT anplumbing.com doesn't seem to have any -3 hose ends! And they never responded to my queries about -3 ends...

-Xerxes

 

daym, my oil line weld on my oil pan keeps leakin. u guys know any place that would weld it cheap and professionably done? im lookin for a place that would weld it good... thats done turbos before. all these welding places are questionable. all the shops ive called charge a grip for a little weld.

Yeah, I got all the parts I needed, but ended up spending ~$120. I got -10 steel braided line with fittings for the oil pan and drain at the bottom of the turbo and a 60 degree turn. Also I got -4 for the oil sending line. 3 ft of it. You can get a pre-packed line from Autometer that works great for this. I will post the part number later (I left it at home). Vic Hubbard carries tons of this stuff and the guys that work there are a BIG help.

As for welders, I'm thinking that I might have to just buy a cheap welding rig setup in order to weld my intercooler piping together. So far, I haven't found any good welders in the bay area.
