oil and water line upgrade ?

[c-rad]

Ok, I always see the Taka braided turbo lines for the SR. Now, I am 99% sure that the lines are the same for the CA, SR, and all the GT T2 CHRA's. Is that correct? Reason I am asking is, I am going to make all these lines for my motor, and just need to make sure all the fittings are available. $170 is ridiculous for those lines. I can make each line at my local 'performance' shop for around $20 each.

EDIT: I am guessing -4 would be a good size for the oil feed and -6 for the water lines? The banjo bolt on the coolant return is 12x1.5, right? And the oil feed fitting at the block is 10x1.25? Now I just need to thread specs on the CHRA fittings.

AFAIK, they're exactly the same. I don't have any first hand experience with them though...

someone has posted all those fittings before chris... don't remember who it was though, it was an old thread too. I thought I had them saved on my computer, but I don't see them.

ok the feedline directlly off the block is 10x1.00 thats directlly off the block...and then into the turbo line is a 3/8 or 1/4 pipe thread inverted flair...i have parts numbers for all this stuff..... from earls and aeroquip if u want them get back to me.....earls alsop makes 14mm banjos and -10 oil drainback flange aswell!

yea i wouldnt mind knowing those part numbers etc...

[capwred]

i would also like the numbers too.

So far the info I've gotten is the water ports are 3/8" NPT and the oil inlet is 7/16". I don't know what the size and pitch of the water return banjo bolt on the block.

i thought the only banjo for the turbo is the oil send near the back?

[float_6969]

2 Banjo's for the coolant lines, on the turbo, and one on the block.

how did you go with these numbers?

[tyrannix]

anyone have the correct sizes and/or part #s offhand?

[teddy]

i do not have the part numbers/fitting sizes, but I can confirm that the taka lines work on the CA. I had a set and they fit perfect.
