Custom oil line, how long?

[mark_airey]

I cant see the block fitting be that obscure, plenty of people seem to have done this now and iv never heard of it being a problem before :think:

Also, re compression fittings:

They should be used in applications where the fitting will not be disturbed and not subjected to flexing or bending.

Bolted to the back of an engine? :o

Im not saying your wrong Mark, I just think the other way will be easier and id like to know how long it needs to be.

Fair play then see how you get on, was just a caution TBH as it doesn't look like a normal hydraulic fitting to me that's all!

As for application, on copper house pipework that applies yeah as the copper tube will be deformed due to the movement and a leak will start, the high pressure line is steel, that and mine had been leak free for well over 9 months now.............

I don't get how you think it will be easier though......slide compression fitting over the steel pipe and tighten...............attach to turbo.............done! plus you will have to attach the flexi to something whereas the steel line would support the flexi

And surly length depends on the route you plan to take with it? if not why not just measure the steel line?
