Icon2 Building a turbo oil line kit

Hey i tried searching threads but i can't seem to find this info. Everyone seems to just buy a pre made kit.

I work for an auto parts store and have access to vendors and aftermarket companies. I want to put an oil line feed kit together myself for a turbo setup on my 96 integra LS.

Anyone have legit spec sizes or even part numbers? All the kits i find are universal or contain more then what i need.

Thanks in advance.

Thats great but i need the sizes to order them. I have access to an aftermarket catalog of parts and fittings. I'm not calling a vendor to make one for me, i'm just ordering raw parts. The aftermarket kits have a few fitting in them, and i wont need them all. Anyone know the exact fittings used?

Ok maybe i wasn't specific enough, sorry. I'm running a T3/T4 ar .50 turbo. I have the oil plate adapter for the turbo itself, and the sandwich. I want to order the fittings for the lines and i'm not familiar with the sizes. Most kits include:

-1/8" Adapter NPT male fitting that goes to the block and one- 4AN male fitting built on flange.

Is this all i need to run the lines?

if you have a journal bearing turbo you would buy a -3 line. a lot of places sell these pre made

as for the drain most use 1/2" npt threads. aeroquip makes steel fittings for 1/2" npt and 1/2" braided teflon hose. you'll also likely want a pair of double male adapters for the drain since it's easier to make the hose double female.
