for the RB20DET, does anyone know where i can get an adapter for the turbo oil feed line from the block so i can run a -4 AN braided line to the turbo?

help anyone!

Haha..good luck. It's a pain to find, I ended up using a bolt from another car's fuel rail and the banjo bolt fitting had a nipple off it and I put a rubber hose on it.

Since it's a banjo bolt, it doesn't have tapered threads to seal, and it would need to seal up; it's hard to explain, but the threads in the block are 12x1.25 mm.

I've been told not to run larger than the -03... which is what mine is now.

I took mine to a local "rubber and gasket" company here in town and had them braze one of the banjos onto a fitting and the other end goes in to the turbo oil feed that I got off ebay. I also had my line fitted with a "T" so that I can tap in with my oil press gauge. Those oil feed adaptors are all over ebay (at least when I ordered mine). Email neilefoxtx@comcast.net if you want... that is who I ordered mine from.

Are you doing this for the stock turbo?

i'm actually using AN-3 line, w/ An-4 on the ends. you can run AN-4 lines but a restrictor is recommended.

i did some thread measurment of the stock bolt on the oil feed port, it's 12mm-1.5 (Metric). two option i'm thinking about: a) rethread a 1/4NTP->AN-4 male adapter to 12mmx1.25. b) find an Earl's banjo->An-4 adapter.

damn, i hate NTP's...all the hardware store carry them and no metric....

finally, i've got a 1/4NTP->AN-4 male fittings and rethead it to 12mmx1.25. i think this would be a good option for someone want to get rid of the banjo and run braided lines...

i have 2 extra adapters if anyone need one

I'll snap a pic of what I did..it's simple, but uses a rubber feed hose (nothing wrong with it I think anyway..)
