Ok, just hit me i have to redo all my oil lines.. Im going to get 4 feet of -8 Earls stainless braided.. and 3 feet of earls -4 stainless braided (tell me if its too small) Now, i know the t3 has a 1/2" return line outlet and then just something to connect to the rubber tube on the oil pan, and the inlet has a 1/8" hole... now where the line goes from there into the block... what size is that? I know its a male piece but i need to know what size of hose end to order. And on that note... where is the cheapest place online or auto store that i can get all these lines and fittings.. i live just north of atlanta... and i need this stuff fast.

Well im taking my motor to a local shop around here friday and they are going to custom make feed and drain lines but its going to be like $100 labor alone so i hope i dont break $200 getting it done but this stuff isnt cheap. But i know the guys kinda and the guy doing it has a sc300 with a 2jz in it and after they finish his new turbos its going to be pushing 1000+ hp.

After talking to the guy, he recommend hardline for the oil return because he burnt the rubber inside his braided line and he was fixing as we spoke. I dont think im going to take it there because $100 in labor is crazy when us DIY guys can get her done :). But im at work right now and im about to order all my lines and stuff and i need someone to mesure that oil sending port on the block. I just need to know what size male end will fit it.
