hey guys in the process of installing my turbo, went to install the feed line and its different than what it is on the turbo. I mean i can screw the yellow fitting in there, the threads are same, but i cant get a wrench on it to tighten it. I was able to get it pretty tight by twisting the whole line, but im not sure if thats good enough. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks a lot!

 

these are my best friends next to my torque wrenches and micrometers

my exact sets

 

the pictures are distorted is it not the right size or not threading. if it's not threading find out the thread pitch and contact stealthmode

 

no the threading is correct, but i have no way to tighten it cause it goes really deep into the hole...i cant get any kinda tool on the fittin to tighten in...

 

have you tried the tool in my link

 

the gear wrenches....? thats what i see when i click it

 

well you can use a socket to tighten the brass fitting. I had to use a set of crowsfeet to tighten the SS line, have you tried a crowsfoot?

yes they are ratching box wrenches

 

The 1/8 NPT port on the turbo is recessed in the housing, you will not be able to use the fitting you have. You need a longer end on the 1/8 NPT male side of the fitting. I don't think you're going to find one that is what you need in one piece, you'll most likely have to get a 1/8 NPT to 1/8 NPT male to male adaptor that's about 1" long to thread into the turbo and then adapt from there.

Or buy an oil feed adaptor flange and bolt it to the CHRA and thread the feed fitting into that. I'm sure Stealthmode will help you out on it, have you contacted him? If you can't find what you need we have the feed flanges in stock.

 

...the next time you take pictures, find the flower button aka macro setting. That way we dont have to look at a bunch of blurred pictures.

 

cell pix, my camera is busted sorry for the crappy pics.

This is a huge rush, the car is scheduled for tuning tommorow, so im gonna grab a 1/8th extension like tony mentioned and use that. Id like to do an AN setup down the road.

Thanks for all the help guys
