I need either:

An aluminum M12 x 1.25 to -3AN adapter fitting

A weld on -3AN fitting

Or

A ball bearing oil restrictor for a T28, that is -4AN

Anyone ever heard of any of these?

Please help me get my car back on the road!

is it by any chance the same size as the fitting you would need for the stock s13 t25? it doesnt look like it, but i made my own for my stock t25, and i used a 7/16 x 3an fitting.

Clawhammer while you have your engine apart can you tell me what size bolts you have holding the oil drain tube to the turbo? I am planning on using the ones from the T25 but I dont wanna crack my turbo again.

WC: Yeah, -3AN. I'm gonna put a -3AN in the block for my oil feed. Hooray for no crush washers and banjo bolts.

DB: I am 99% sure they're the same, but next time I'm near my turbo I'll find out for you.

I was actually talking about both.

Basically my oil feed is stripped. You can't mix and match AN sizes on a hose, so I need to make the AN port on the block match the one on the turbo (the restrictor). So I either need to make both of them -4 (get a restrictor that is -4) or make them both -3 (get a fitting for the block that is -3). Don't care how I get there as long as I get there.

Looks like I'll be going with block side -3 and then a SS hose with -3 on both sides...

...I think...the thing in your picture is -3 right?
