Thread: Turbo Oil Line and return line ??

Ok so i have been looking for a Turbo oil feed line for my set up im going to use a Protech top mount manifold with a Garret T3 .57 trim but i havent decide on what turbo line im going to use i have read the entire Manifesto thread but most of the websites are from 2008 ..

http://www.sr20-forum.com/gofastdepot/10187-turbo-oil-feed-line-kit-question.html

I want it to use the Mazworx turbo line but then i read this .. turbo line is a NPT but our motor have BPT , i just not feel conftable doing a NPT into BPT .. here is the thread ..

So the i was looking into the Ebay one but i just have read so many bad reviews from them ..

So here is my question what brand of Turbo oil feed lines and return lines are you guys using, i probably wont go over 400whps ..

Ebay. Braided line is braided line. Also pick up an oil restrictor as well.

Do i need a restrictor for my turbo as well ? i tought that was only for the T25/T28 turbos ? ..

It couldnt hurt. Probally would increase the life of your seals.

You only need a restrictor if you run anything bigger than a -3AN

Oh ok so whats the turbo line that most people use on their cars ? cause i have read everything .. but i kind of want to know wish one is the most use/best turbo line...

-3 an line is the most used. very easy to piece together a line. and they sell adapter for the npt to bpt part on the oil filter housing.

i found all the info needed in those links you provided very easily

If I were to do it again today, I would piece together the same stuff that the Go Fast Depot oil feed had. They were all off-the-shelf components.

Let me see if I can get a parts list together for you. In the mean time, check out this post of my build thread: http://www.sr20-forum.com/members-rides/554-benfenner-s-1994-black-se-r-4.html#post208305

Edit:

So you need to decide if you want to keep your oil pressure light operational. If you do, then you will want to "T" it into the line somewhere. If you don't want to keep it, then all you need is 3.5 feet of -3AN braided hose (usually you'll buy 4 feet) and the correct adapter(s) for each end. Autometer sells the block adapter which is 1/8" BPT(BSP) male to 1/8" NPT female. You'll need a 1/8" NPT male to -3AN male adapter. Then you need the turbo-side adapter which depends on your turbo. It will be -3AN male on one end and likely Garrett spec on the other end. You'll have to look that part up.


If you want to "T" in the oil pressure sensor then you'll need to get a few more things. Here's what you'll end up with for the most part if you go that route:

https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/2612_72386270099_4978094_n.jpg (look closely, and you'll see everything you need)

That is a 3-foot section and 1-foot section of -3AN braided hose. There are two -3AN male to 1/8" NPT male adapters and a 1/8" NPT female "T" fitting. If you want to do it right, then you'll also need a 1/8" NPT male to 1/8" BPT(BSP) female adapter for the oil pressure sensor (this one can be expensive and hard to come by).



If you don't care about jamming 1/8" NPT threads into 1/8" BPT(BSP) threads, you can do without the two odd-ball adapters.


Or if you use an aftermarket oil pressure sensor (and by-pass the dash light) then you can go without the one hard-to-find adapter.

As for the oil drain line. Use OEM. That means the OEM drain fitting for the turbo, an OEM or similar hose, and the correct 1/2" × 14NPT male to 1/2" male barb block fitting. Check the oil drain thread(s) in The Manifesto.

Yeap just order all that to tap my block got it from one of ur post man .. hahaha
