[StricNyne]

well my metal lines for my turbos are fubared so i was looking into doing this for my car http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

or

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

but i need to do a T fitting for the twins, also i am concerned about the water lines i know i dont NEED to run them and i dont want to but when i upgrade i would like to have them also for the oil and water drains can i justt the drains to one bung

OR is there a premade set that dosent cost , arm, leg or left nut

[Sil240]

Yo I thought that your getting the ones from that guy???

That's the same kit I have for my turbo.Really good fit.Just the feed line is hella long. (been talkin to my cali people) lol

[tjmhillz]

this is carlos, ya theyhavent gotten back to me yet but those look good and like i need and WAY cheaper

[Shocker]

I got mine all made locally so I could get exact sizes and know that everything will fit properly.

[StricNyne]

share sizes !!!

[Shocker]

well through my 35r, I run a 1/8 NPT to feed it oil, 1/4 NPT to give it coolant and to take it away. Then the drain might be 3/8 NPT its big. I tapped my block to standard at all places as well. Metric fittings are an *** raping.

heres a pick all all my fittings at the housing. THEY ARE A ****ING ***** TO TIGHTEN AND REMOVE. I wish my housings were held down by v-bands not bolts, they get in the way.

[Sil240]

Hey what dimensions/specs was the water drain in the block stock?

My motor is put together and in the car, I'm not trying to tap the block like that.

[StricNyne]

tap into the heater core hoses man !!!! i did it on the celica i turboed it should be uber simple with a big single

[Sil240]

Yo check this out.Call them.This is where your boy was gonna get those lines from.

The only thing is that I don't have them hooked up.I might hook them up eventually if need be, but being down here in FL, I didn't see any use for it.

But I found a post that helped me out:zerothread?id=280833

It was exactly what I needed."The search button worked for me!!!!" According to the thread its M14 x 1.5

I just remember that I searched for this a while a go so that I could find a bolt to plug it. Duhh....Blonde moment, its all my ex girls faul. lol

For anyone else interested, I just found this info:

"Oil Feed at Block: M12x1.25Oil Return at Block: 3/4" BSPT (3/4" NPT can work)Coolant Return at Block: M14x1.5"

i have made the oil feed adapter in the past for rb folks, to be use with a AN-4 or AN-3 feed line. email me if you need one; i might have an extra one.

[StricNyne]

[StricNyne]

so i just need an adapter, noot too much of a biggy but water lines still pissin me off imma take pics and post em up

[StricNyne]

****ing water setup on rb25 is gunna be a *****

[BoostFab]

if you're running the stock turbo; why not use the stock lines; i don't see a big deal with moving to stainless braided lines on stock turbo. just a waste of money. i still have the stock water lines if you need them.

[StricNyne]

i am willing ot run stock lines i just dont have them, and i am running a custom intake that cuts down on a ton of the cooling lines, and since its a rb25 my intake dosent have the front turbo water return line its all fubar lol, thats what makes it sooo tricky

i just sketched this up in a minute; if you decide to want to use the stock water lines, you can have mine (free, you pay shipping)

[StricNyne]

ahh good pic, but thats a 26 block i dont have that rear water return since i am on a rb25, BUT there is a water port on intakemanifold i think i could use

[BoostFab]

that is a picture of an rb25det block; so you're saying yours never had that small port

[StricNyne]

yeah thats weird i dont have that rear port

[StricNyne]

i got the big one i dont have the small water nipple tho

[BoostFab]

now you know where it should go; it shouldnt be too hard to plumb in the water line; just use a little creativity.

[Bluefire]

The RB25 has a single large port on the rear of the block. From the factory there is another T piece with a small line that goes to the turbo.

If you can weld aluminum you can easily make a T piece with some piping

As for running the steel braided lines, you will need two adapters one for oil, one for water. Oil should 12x1.25mm, water I believe is 16x1.5mm (Sr20's run the smaller 14x1.5mm). Then from the adapters you run a tee like this: http://www.holley.com/925106ERL.asp or http://www.holley.com/926106ERL.asp . I would run the -6 for waterlines and -3 or -4 for oil lines. Then just run your steel braided lines to the turbos.

I suggest you pick up an earl's catalog. You don't have to use earl's brand stuff but the catalog helps to design your plumbing system...

bump i got oil lines in today, and i got them figured out which is plus, i think i kno where water feed is, and i can do the lines for them just water return actual lines i need, i got a way to get them returned, i will compile a list of length, fitting size, and yadda for a possible sticky !!

[StricNyne]

ok the block oil port is 12x.1.25 where can i get a 1/8npt to 12x1.25 adapter the 1/8npt is the T fitting that goes to each turbo
