Turbo upgrade = upgraded turbo lines ?

[Chinamandrift]

ok so i tried to mount my new hks GT2530 on my motor

and noticed all my stock lines dont fit ....they have the incorrect length and bends .......

so where can i find braided turbo lines so i can still use the stock adapters on the block??.....if cant do that

how do i go about to route my lines correctly ?

Taka Motorsports (one of the nico sponsors) sells a kit (oil feed line and coolant lines) for a reasonable price. I'd reccomend picking a set of those.

you can also make the stock lines fit by heating them up with a torch and very carefully bending them.

ok so im checking out the lines for the ca18det .....are they the same as the SR ones ???.......and whats with the "Oil Restriction Inlet Fitting".....there is two kinds....mines a Ballbearing GT2530 . would that fall under 0.03 or 0.06 ???

as my understanding goes, turbos operate under a constant pressure supply of oil, that is less than the variable pressure supplied by the oil pump. the restrictor keeps the pressure constant whatever the engine is doing. basically, it keeps the turbo, and it's bearings, from getting to much or to little oil. hope this helps.

you can get the oil line from atpturbo.com and maybe the water lines, but you have to know what sizes you want. I'm sure its around this forum. It takes a little work but its a lot faster than buying it from taka since they're located in hayward(i think) and normally have parts in stock. But if you're lazy and have time. I HIGHLY reccomend taka lines. from takamotorsports

Smaller restrictor for ballbearing. My BB turbo uses a .035
