I've been searching around and i cant get a straight answer. just looking for what size hose would be on the normal ca oil drain. I had to customize my T25 drain to fit on the T28, since the bolts are closer on the t28. I'm gonna order a normal T28 drain back fitting, just a plain jane metal pipe with barbed end. like this:

I see it says 44mm hose, and for some reason I dont think that is right.

Don't quote me on this, but I think it's like 5/8". I have a motor on a stand right now I can measure when I have time to check it.

I have my old CA turbo laying around and I can measure the drain line if you need me to.

5/8" is the number, and the number is 5/8".

I literally googled "gt28 oil drain hose size" and it was the first result. C'MON, SON!

And yes, I checked for the t25 too. Same thing.

Quick, Robin! To the internet!!

Ha ha... I've been pwned, thanks tim!
I wasn't finding a consistant number so I doubted everything i read. I'm hopeing this will stop the damn weeping the drain does every single time regardless the type of gasket/rtv I have used.
