Like the titles says. If any one is using them and would be kind enough to tell us the fittings that they used on them. They look like they are standard earls fittings. TIA

I got 'em.

But they are already on the car and I had to gerry rig up some stuff on the block since I broke off the oil fitting that goes into the block.

Just do a search for SR oil lines, they are identical.

What turbo is this going on?

I did a search in the SR forums and found nothing about the fittings sizes and the adaptors that they used. All I want to know is what the thread and size is on the ristrictor that goes into the block for the turbo oil feed. Looking at pictures of the taka lines they look like standard earls fittings and adaptors. I just want to know what fittings and adaptors they used. By the way this is going on a stock turbo but obviously these custom made lines could be adapted to any turbo.

Talk to them on AIM or over an e-mail. They might tell you; they did me, but I don't want to share the info if they don't want to. just drop them an e-mail or IM

I figured out what fitting I need now but cant seem to find it. I looked all through the earls catalog. FYI the fitting is m12x1.0.

home depot here doesnt carry anything like that try finding even a bolt that m12x1.0 is pretty tough the small thread I have seen is m12x1.25. I am going to have to goto a specialty industrial machine shop that carries all kinds of bolts then I am going to drill it out and then tap the bolt for with 1/8in npt.
