Fitting New Turbo On Rb25

[slo33]

i was just wondering whether anyone could tell me what type of oil fitting if on the block side of the turbo oil feed line. Im just wondering because im soon to be putting on a different turbo on my 33 and want to replace the oil feed line with a full braided line. I want to make up the line before i take the original off the car, because i am limited for garage time. I work with hydrolics at work so as soon as i know the type of fitting on the block side i can order in the fitting and make the line up. Any help is much appreciated

You are after thread sizes and bolt length ? ^R33_KRAZY

There is a Banjo bolt in the block and a straight pipe feed return line that clamps on.

Just have the braided line made up to suit both banjo bolts on the block and on the top of the turbo oil feed line.

If you want any further guidance just shoot me a pm and i will send you a picture to help

Ok as promised.

The Oil feed Banjo bolt hole on the block is has a thread of 12x1.25

Same as the oil feed on the top of the turbo.

Water threaded holes on the turbo are both 18x1.5

Water threaded hole on the block is 13x1.5

Oil lines are quite easy , we used to buy -4AN mild steel weld on fittings drill them to size and braze them to a short section of the original steel pipe at either end . Then its straightforward to make up braided line with female -4AN fittings and join it all up . Have to support the line properly off metalic things .

can i just use a clamp to put the bariaded line to the old hard lines at the block or does it need the proper fitting??

water you could, wouldn't suggest that for oil, due to teh oil presure values through the hose would cause it to fly off

double hose clamp the water lines too

[R33_KRAZY]

nah its right if it aint that safe ill just spend a few more $$ an time an do it properly, thanx any just thought id ask

[Craved]

standard the water lines run with hose clamps... hence saying yes thats fine.

OIL use banjo fittings and braided line properly

ill prolly just get the fancy earls fittins to finnish it nicely

thanks anyway
