i know the golden eagle kit would be the best/proven method but has anyone here made their own kit? does the oil line need to be steel braided or can a piece of standard hydraulic hose be used on the fittings and clamped down. the fittings, hose, dowl pins and head gasket seem to be a bit cheaper if you fabbed up your own. im sure i could put a kit together for almost half the price. what do you guys think. please no flamming. just opinions as to why this is or isnt o good idea and explain yourself. thanks.

 

when dealing with thiings like this its always better to spend the extra money and do it right

mcguyver is the **** though. i bet he'll build the most reliable lsvtec. ever.

 

I didnt buy a kit for my LS/VTEC. If you talk to Stealthmode62, he can set you up with all the oil lines you need for the conversion and at a VERY reasonable price too. He helped me out and i spent a ton less than the GE LS/VTEC kit.

 

yea i work in a semiconductor and the pipefitters told me they could build me a kit out of this.

these fitting are industrial grade fittings and hold chemicals like acid and alkaline. best part is they have bins of all kinds of fittings. its all free. if i give them measurements, they said they can fab me up a rigid line out of ss tubing.

QUESTION.....do you guys know what the inside diameter of 6AN is equal to in inches? is it like 5/16's or 3/8ths?

As long as you buy stuff that is of quality then you don't need a kit.
