Like the topic says..

Here are the pics, let me konw if you guys think it is too close or not.

 

yeah yeah, I see that my DP is burning oil. Don't need to point it out to me.

 

Nope, but I would heat wrap it....

based on the first pic, you're fine

stan

 

Good to know.... I will get some heat wrap for it soon. Can't be sure enough for it!

Thanks for the help.

If anybody else has comments, they are welcomed.

 

use dei "cool tape" warp the oil line and get some warp for the dp too

 

I don't suppose you have a pic so I can get a better idea. I mean, yeah, it's not that hard to figure it out, but.. pictures are worth a thousand words.

 

niiice i'm jockin that steel braided hose.. i got a rubber hose

 

Does yours leak too?

Cuase if yours dont' leak, then I'm envious!

 

wow you got plenty of clearance. On my first ss line, it was touching, at killed the line.

Now my line is maybe half a centimeter away and so far no problems.

 

It's good to know that the majority seems to feel that it has enough clearence, here I thought that it was too close and maybe the rubber hose inside the SS line might have cooked and oil was leaking becuase of that.

But.. apparently, it's... something else...

hoorah.

... Do local car shops (autozone) have good heat wrap? Or is it something I should order??? Suggestions?

 

I'm using a rubber line and it's only about half and inch from the downpipe... But heatwrap works wonders.... no leaks yet(knock on wood). Napa here didn't have heat wrap, but I'm sure some shops there would have it.

i strapped my return to my intercooler piping...because it was laying on it...now it's about 1/2" away...

 

mines right on my dp and its not burnt thru yet, but is like perspiring oil thru the line. not alot, but enough to make me fix it one day

 

What is a sign of your SS line leaking? Will it show burnt dark marks? Or will there be a.. physical sign of the line showing wear?

I'd like to know so I can see for myself.

 

heat wrap it like you did on the adjacent pipe; and problem solve

 

whats that part in silver wrap? Is this your wg dp?

 

It's my intercoolering piping. That's the part RIGHT after the compressor.

 

mine is closer than that..

 

Any problems so far with your setup?

 

this was my rubber return line



this line was alot closer than yours though... from the looks of yours you should be fine

 

That was the maxrev line right? The Aeroquip? I had the same one, but I ended up using a SS line. I was paranoid that it might tear or something.
