Copper oil feed and vacuum lines?

 

Thats pretty sick.I wonder if that works as good as I think it does thats definitely different. I like

 

I wonder if there is any vaccum leaks?

 

Looks like SS line.

 

thats a sick set up.

 

I might be wrong but I think there is too much vibration under the hood of a car to run copper lines and to have them last a long time. I think they would eventually brake off at the fittings.

The lines look clean but HOLY fittings batman!!

 

YUK... Sorry just my OPINION.... looks like a pain in the *** to work on, around.... but nicely done....

 

i think those are stainless steel hardlines copper has a more golder look to it

Subarus use em. . . .

 

You better off with SS braided line. You have to be extremely careful to work around them. Niceturbo set-up though.

 

Sick setup

I wouldnt do it

 

WTF IS GOIN ON THERE!

 

it looks really good...but, it just needs to be more hidden...looks weird just sitting right there in the open....

 

i did a turbo install on a friends car (b16 EG with greddy 18G) and used copper line for his oil feed for the turbo. worked great.

 

I bet that car is owned by a pipefitter, there's no reason to do that otherwise.

Can you imagine trying to work around all that piping? Even if I were dumb enough to run hard piping for vacuum lines, I'd certainly use stainless, not copper.

I say it's a total waste of time and money, let alone having a hundred potential leak points.

 

it looks like stainless steel to me and they use that **** on hydraulic car setups it is pretty durable and olds up to vibrations copper would be to weak

Dude think before your talk, This is what a b series intake looks like..



and this is what an Ls1 intake looks like.



Not too easy to tap a bumch of holes in a composite intake. stress cracks..

 

?????????????????

he never said anything about tapping anything?

 

I have seen several Harley Davidson's and Triumph motorcycles with copper oil lines and I think fuel lines cant remember right off. If anything vibrates those bikes do and they seem to hold up fine.

 

i agree working around that stuff would suck because that tubing bends so easily

 

My Father Has Soild Copper Oil lines for his turbo...

Eric

 

i agree with the copper lines for oil, although a piece of rubber here and there in a few sections wouldnt hurt either, kinda like old 300zx-TTs.

but seriously that ls1 is overkill with the lines, i cant imagine the time it took to flare all those lines and get it together.

oil yes

vacuum no

 

I wouldn't disagree with piping oil lines, but wtf was that guy thinking? I wonder if he ever heard of a distribution block? He'd have saved a shitload of parts, time, and space.

I'd also suggest compression fittings, rather than flares. They're cheap, easy to seal/install, reusable (to a degree) and are good for more oil psi than your motor will put out.

 

Man there must be a gallon of brake fluid sitting in those lines. Sorry couldn't resist.

Seriously though, I think it's fine and cheaper than stainless but I wouldn't do it that way.

 

it looks ok,
i wouldnt do it, only because it would a pain in the *** to work on.
