hey guys im looking at running braided oil drains because of the hot stainless manifold just wouldering what size weld on dash fittings would fit best -8 or -10? im thinking of welding a fitting on the end of the bit that comes of the block and another one on the drain bit of the turbo? just wondering what size fitting?

cheers

Use this gear over the drains, if you CBF'd using an fittings

id rather use fittings in think? the drain is like 3mm of the manifold. would -10 be ok or should i go to a -12?

That flame guard stuff is useless if it gets too close to the manifold, mine has dried out and just crumbles when you touch it.

-10 on the drain will be fine

ATP, GCG etc all sell an drain adaptors for around $30-40 and I'm using a speedflow adaptor out of the block (currently rubber on a hose tail but will be repacing shortly).

Steel pipe will be ALOT more durable than any braided lines when mounted close to a heat scource, reguardless of what you wrap them in. The red firesleve (aeroquip) is designed to be a flash flame protection cover not an absolute thermal barrier for 1200 deg C...

My suggestion is to use the standard or standard style drain tube. Get the drain tube to line up 5 or 6 cm from the drain fitting on the block and use a short peice of high temp rated hose, with good quality stainless steel hose clamps to join them. As long as you flare the ends of both tubes, the hose will never come off.

If your super woried about leaks, just double clamp each end.

My 2 cents

^ I think they can input whatever they want.

I can see this being another classic SAU discussion.

make a solid oil drain pipe out of stainless dont even need to worry about mandrels just keep it flowing down wards and lobster back style it.. than use 3/4" aeroquip hose from the drain pipe to the fittin on the block. usually takes me about 20-30 minutes to knock one together, its never goin to melt because its to close to the manifold, its never goin to run the risk of collapsing

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
