your line and everything else looks great! One quick question though . . . what's that white stuff all over it?

 

Thats hondabond. Just a lil added sealer

 

Hope you didn't put that **** on the threads. Brass on brass fittings are supposed to be self sealing.

 

some may be, mine never have been, i use a lil teflon tape on my fittings

not somuch the brass on brass but the 37 deg flare is the seal so you should not need sealant if it leaks you need to look at the seats of the fittings brass digs real easy

 

a buddie of mines ran his oil line that way and his car caught on fire, casue of the starter

 

looks fine.

 

Wait how come the oil feed and return looks like its at a very steep angle? Like 45 degrees? Is that safe?

 

looks good to me and a little hondbond never hurts

 

yeah thats fine...oil is being pushed through the feed...

BTW are you getting okay readings with your egt probe on the 1st runner?

 

It's seems to read fairly well. I give or take a lil here and there.

 

i would turn the oil feed fitting the other way around.

I was thinking that too, but isn't the oil feed line pretty pressurerized?

 

up

 

yeha, 90 PSI is no joke

AMEN brother. you just had to zoom in on the b18c5 stamp, didn't you?

 

looks kinda kinked at the end of the line. maybe its just me.

 

Be carefull with those McMaster feed lines. I was reassembling my block and I noticed the fitting basically pushed itself out of the back of the tightening nut.

that manifold looks like assssss who welded that for you a farmer? other then that looks good man.

 

Danny (turbotyper) made the manifold he made it custom for his car, it's a damn good amnifold though he made 440whp and 304lbs of torque and it uses a 3"dp and still retains ac. My feed lines are from Stan.

 

Get studs for the head off an older Integra... makes putting the manifold on 100x easier...

Other than that, might want to turn the oil feed around toward the block, and everything else looks ok besides the sloppy honda-bonding.

 

Yeah I was thinking of studing the manifold. I will get all cleaned up once everything is running right.

 

The feed line looks pretty close to the turbo manifold... These SS braided lines are not invulnerable and will break down eventually from extreme heat. I would turn the fitting on the turbo more towards the block and run the feedline from under and behind the manifold. This will also eliminate the nasty bend on the line.

The Hondabond is fine, but absolutely unnecessary for flare (37 or 45 deg) fittings. But the hondabond will just be squished out of the way anyways as you tighten the flare fitting.

 

Lee,

the oil feed line look fine, if you can somehow get it away from the manifodl, the better you will be.

I would recommend a teflon tape/paste on the NPT threads ( to the turbo ) but do not put anything on the flared ends to the oil feed line. The 37 degree flare seals the connection.

hope this helps,

Stan
