Turbocharger oil line
#1
I have researched this topic and found the following threads:

http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-14103.ht...t=oil+line
http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-12094.ht...t=oil+line
http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-9731.htm...t=oil+line
http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-9121.htm...t=oil+line
http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-6498.htm...t=oil+line
http://306oc.co.uk/forum/thread-2565.htm...t=oil+line

So far I know I need the following:

1.5 feet long or 12 inches
Engine block fitting is 16x1.5
Banjo bolt to turbo is 10mm

It seems on the last thread that mark_airey recommends using a compression fitting to attach a length of braided hose onto the standard oil line. I was hoping something like this would fit:

But I have no idea and don't want to buy the wrong thing Sad This project has already cost me £400+Dodgy

....so what's the question?

Surely you can go to a hydraulics place and tell them that and they could at least give you a rough price? Shouldn't be expensive really. Yell.com comes in handy there as well!

Or you could do it with AN fittings. Just don't you jubilee clips, as Piggy's recent fails have shown! Wink

Hmm, nearest hydraulics place is a 30 mile rouns trip :/ Starting to look like this will never get finished Sad And Piggy used jubilee clips? Really, for all the flak he gives people he should know better Smile Even I would know not to do that :p

My hydro place has made me custom oil feed and water lines for my 200SX turbo and I intend on getting my GT2052V lines made there too.

Cost £20 a line usually made whilst you wait.

When I was producing these was just using a compression fitting on a standard oil line. Only stopped because prices got hiked up to often.

One line I produced just bolted to the existing line

I guess the compression fitting size will need to be in relation to the outer diameter of the oil feed pipe, which I read somewhere is 8mm. So would a 10mm compression fitting be okay? This sort of thing:

It says 10mm x 1/4 bsp, not sure which part the bsp is? Thanks a bunch guys.

Please ring the place tell them your making an oil line for a turbo and get a quote. It could well be cheaper than you think! At the end of the day if its to much just say i can one cheaper elsewhere but thanks for your time :p

This is what I had made up, took the turbo to a hydraulic place and a standard pug oil line and said what I wanted. Half an hour later and £20/25 (can't quite remember) it was done. Maybe a little long but I've routed it fine. Just chop a bit of the block side of the original oil line and used an olive fitting to connect it on to the pipe they made.

Bolt on fitment Smile

Just take them the end that threads into the block to make one out of.

Okay then guys, I will get a spare oil line bought and phone up my local Pirtek place (just remembered that there is one fairly locally) and I will; keep you updated.

Dont phone them, just bring it in.
Its easier to explain what you need in person without them thinking "f*ck this, too much hassle"

It is a 30 mile round trip so I can't risk going there and coming back empty handed.

You'll be risking £5 worth of diesel. And they'll be able to do it.
Worth the risk.

Meh lots of examples of that pressure behind jubilees in the industry, air compressors, farming water supplies etc. made my setup cost about £6 to supply both blowers, turned down all the connections and used hydro banded hose only difference was in shop they compress a metal spigot over the hose so it can take 6000psi rather than a couple of jubilees to take 100psi...

I still cant figure out why mine blew...

fyi; it was the oil lines to the cooler that I used them on AND I used Mikalors, not jubilees and it still went.

My oil pressure gauge shows around 3bar at full bore when warm.
Cold oil shows more pressure but I dont do any full throttle stuff till I see the oil temp gauge show happy

What are your connections like, mine were on barbed connections and the hose was TIGHT when it first went on, and them the jubilees just secure it. They have to be matched sizes as if it were for very high pressure if there's even 1mm play you can't crush that with a jubby and it stay reliable.

What happened then, mikalor fail or slip off the barb connection? Also how big is your supply cos the supply to the blowers is much smaller than total oil supply to a cooler, so maybe it has something to do with a large bore connection, which would require more manlybeef
