Got myself some oil lines (return and sender), sender seems to fit the turbo but the return is too big. It is a -10AN fitting but the whole looks like a six or somthing.
Plan A:Anyone know a place that sells some kind of reducer or something.

Checked Mcmaster.com with no luck yet.

Plan B:Greddy Style oil flange and a hose clamp around the steel braided hose turbo side, and fitting on the oil pan side....what do you think, plan A not worth the trouble?

 

hey, let me know what kind of reducers you need. i got all kinds of variations in stock. message or call me and let me know.

You can't never go too big on your oil return line. You want the oil to exit as fast and as much as possible out of the turbo.

The oil feed is pressuriezed, while the return are 100% gravity.

My best suggestion, make the -10AN work. It is as ideal size as it can get.

First what kind of turbo is this that you got??

If it's a T3 and your having problems with the return then I would suggest getting a new oil drain flange.

 

The -10AN 45* angle from fast-turbo is too big at the threads...

It is a Garrett turbo, but im not sure off of what, I may end up just going with plan B???

 

Do you mean the flat part of the 45 degree adapter ?

the threads are tapered, they will get harder to screw in as they come up to the flange (assuming it is the 1/2" NPT flange ?)

YOu need to use a vise to hold the flange and use a crescent wrench to tighten it down.

If you have about 4-5 threads in the flange, you're good to go. The tapered threads is what selas it without letting the fitting go thourgh to the other end of the flange like metric bolt would.

if you need any help at all, call me, email me, IM me.

thanks
