I'm tring to make some progress with my turbo conversion (slowly!) I still need the oil feed, so................
What internal diameter do oil feed turbo need to be?
I've worked out what oil feed fitting they need. Just wondering if anyone knows a good/cheap companies who makes hoses?
I need 2 hoses -
Block to t-piece with 1/4 npt fittings, one end male, one end female. 10cm long.
T-piece to turbo with with 1/8 npt fittings, one end male, one end female. 30cm long.
Any advice or input welcome?

don't you need a return too? Should be easy to do if you have a turbo sump, if not just drill and tap your current one.

robin I'm happy your getting on with the turbo conversion... cant wait to see it done.. hopefully I will be helping my bruv do his new sierra soon... the feed line deosnt need to be too big just the next size up from brake line sized goodridge but I cant remember what size that is... doh.. its more important to have the pressure it desnt need too much flow tbh.. but make sure the return is big enough.. about 1/2" internal will do it there is a plug on the block that can be used for a decent drainback... have you explored this site?? skogenracing.editboard.com/englis....-howto-t657.htmcool mad stuff there.. si as for companys that make hoses try braided steel/goodridge/ or places like pirtek etc... si |

or even use the dip stick tube! Unfortunatly it's on the wrong side of the engine  Oh well taking the sump off and welding a pipe on isn't that hard, well within my remit  as for the drain the turbo came with a drain already, so that okay. |

Don't get me wrong I'd love a YB, but I'm poor which is why it's taken me this long to get to this point!  I've got this to go on my 2.0 Pinto........  It's a T3 (not a watercooled one thou), but what it's off or where it's from I've no idea, the manifold is definatly a pinto one ;D I've researched it fairly well, going to run standard compression, retard the ignition and run 6 psi of boost with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. The oil feeds and down pipe is the only thing holding me back now! |
