I need to know the size of the turbo oil drain fitting to the block. I want to buy a -10 fitting to run my drain setup.

I believe it is 3/4" BSP but most people use 3/4" NPT and it works. It is tough to find a -10AN adapter in the BSP size for under $100 as they are custom.

They do make them. You can call Earl's USA and ask them for the part number: 9919FEF, it's a -10AN to 3/4" BSP Male-to-Male Adapter


or you can run 3/4BSP to 12AN ($36) - pn# 3230-12-12AN

Hmm, I didn't know that. When I was looking for mine a long time ago, the only option was the BAT Performance (www.batinc.com) and I think they were $80 + shipping or something ridiculous like that.

:rotflmao yea $45. This is how much that fitting costs in the real world:

*unless the one they're selling is the BSP and it costs 5 times more than the NPT. It doesn't say what the thread pitch is on their site.


This one is even better. The 45 will allow easier flow to the block: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EAR-982309ERL/

I called BAT and they wanted between $30-40 for a 3/4 BSP Male to -10AN Male adapter in aluminum, plus it was special order. They told me they also carry them in steel for $8/each, and had stock, so I ordered two steels to meet the order minimum. The guy ended up sending me the aluminum one that I wanted instead without charging me the price difference. Very cool and helpful people.

Regarding the block fitting we sell it's an actual Earl's fitting... so a bit more costly then those found else where unfortunately.

The thread pitch is in fact BSP. We wanted to offer something that was an "exact" fit.

We stock them and was hoping to provide a solution for those who needed them. :gotme Not looking to get rich off of fitings by any means.

But either way, glad you found what you were looking for :bigthumb:

If we can offer a cheaper alternative then we will. :werd:

Yea, Rick, I wasn't trying to say anything bad about Raw. I figured it was the BSP to ask that much for it. I bought the NPT to AN 45 degree Earls from Summit and it threaded in like butter. You just make sure that alternator you're sending me looks like brand new !!buddy?!?!?!?

By the way 45 bucks is a fair price, got one from UK paid about 50 bucks and its not Earl's. Wasnt sure if Raw had that fitting, didnt feel like paying 50 bucks to find out it wouldnt dont fit (with my luck). And it is 3/4 BSP thread, uncommon in USA, couldnt find it on Earls web site and was told they dont make it. :gotme

Ricky not sure if you remember, what size hose do RB26's run stock for PCV, you guys carry any hoses that fit and cap off/blanking caps?

Yea, our fittings fit like OEM.

The factory hose that goes from valve cover to valve cover for the PCV has a 21mm ID. Don't have any blanking caps here. Most of the time they're popped off for AN fittings.
Hope that helps... sorry I didn't get back to that on FB :blush:
