Ok so I was working on the car, taking it back to stock for sale late last night/early morning and finished up and went to bed. When I went back out there this morning to look at it in the daylight I realised that I had used the block banjo from a spare water feed line as the oil feed banjo on the turbo if that makes sense. Looking at the two side by side, their dimensions are very similar with the water banjo being longer. They both run the same threads obviously, so this begs the question, do you think Ill be able to get away with leaving it in there? Only reason is I find it really hard to get time to work on it given work commitments and others but at the same time I don’t want to sell the car as a lemon

Cheers

so you used a slightly longer banjo bolt? the only thing I can think of sometimes there is a restrictor built into the bajo bolt and a water feed will most likely be flowing more than an oil feed.

providing the orrifice inside the bajo bolts are the same (could be hard to check for certain) and you had it seated down on the washers properly it 'should' be ok. but I honestly think you'll feel better once you swap it. turbo oil feed is a pretty crucial thing to ensure long happy turbo life. too much, or too little oil and you have problems. and if it leaks even worse as it's under some decent pressure, and hot oil, onto hot manifold = fire.

Ryan I just put a hiflow on my car last week and I noticed that the oil and watre bajnjo's were quite different. I cant remember exactly what the differences were but I do remember thinking they were not interchangeable.

Sorry for being a bit vague, lol.

ok so im trying to put in the oil banjo back in atm and it just doesnt seem to have the length in the thread for some reason?It will thread in for a thist or two and then stops, it almost feels like its the wrong thread, and then when i sit the two next to one another the threads seem no to match up which has me thinking that the one that I thought was the actual oil feed banjo may not infact be it

So I think I have gotten the bolts mixed up. Bothe the bolts are more or less the same when I sit them next to one another, the one that I think is the "water" actually has a slightly smaller internal diameter, with the only real difference being the length of the thread

I dont really know dude, but ive got 2 sitting here in front of me (banjo bolts i presume your talking about) and they are completely different width and length wise.

If you mean the hose tails (the piece the banjo bolt goes into) they are slightly different size depending on what they have come from.

What turbo is really teh question. The garrett gt series doesnt use much oil. I went with -4 line for the bling factor.

Ok so to clarify, its a stocky as Im taking the car back to stock.

And the banjo bolts I think I have mixed up are the oil feed that screws into the turbo, and the water return banjo that screws into the block

If anybody could tell me what sizes they are, that woudl be awesome

Cheers

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
