I was wondering how long should a turbo oil line be??
I put my own kit toghter so im gonna buy the NOS line 4an but how long does it need to be to reach the back to front??

Also for the oil return line is it better to use a line u screw into the oil pan or one you use clamps with??
I know a few friends where the clamps broke and the lost all there oil and blew there motor so whats the bst to run to be safe???
Thanks guys

 

I bought the 4ft -4 NOS line from http://atlanticspeed.com for $26: http://www.atlanticspeed.com/s...15250

Can't help you on the drain line - haven't gotten that far yet...

 

i dont get it.. why would you need a nos line for? are you running nos with ur turbo setup is that why?

Thanks

 

it's just got the NOS name brand on it, but it's just a standard -4 line with fittings on it. Seemed like a pretty good deal for $26 instead of buying and assembling everything separately.

 

Yea its just the name u can use the Nos line for the oil feed line...
i didnt know how long i need it to be..
THanks Guys

 

i used 4ft too , works fine for me.

 

SO what do u guys use for return ?? and have u had any problems??
I love my motor too much to blow it,

 

I used #10 line for the return ,maybe like a ft or so , the legnth will be diff from car to car, depending on whats in the way and how you route it, just make sure its routed good enuff to make a nice flowback into the pan and your fine

 

depends on how long your line is, I can get it for you for less

Stan do you make *blinging* lines like these:

 

How much for a 4An 4 foot long and a 10AN about a foot long and half long??

why -4 instead of -3?????? any downfalls to the -3 besides the fact that they flow less, since they are smaller in diameter?

-3 or -4 AN flows about the same. I always try to recommend -3AN for oil feed line since it's pressurized and -3 AN is more than enough to supply oil to the turbo.
I personally run -3AN lines, -3AN lines is a teflon coated, instead of rubber on -4AN and larger. -3An lines comes with a stainless teel hose ends versus an anodized aluminum hose ends..
