I've got a S5 turbo and engine with a S4 front cover.

The long pipe thing with the bendable mesh doesn't seem to fit. It seems to extend about 2 inches past where the oil hole under the OMP is.

Does any one have pics of how it goes in or can you explain it?

I also have another pipe which is about 3-4 inches long and does a bit of an S does this connect here or go some where else?

Thx

 

The s5 turbos use an S shaped (sort of) extension pipe off the front cover, remember s5's use aan electrical OMP which is large, so it fits around this. S4's use a straight extension pipe, no OMP to snake around. so the line from the turbo is shorter. With an s4 front cover, use the s4 SET of pipes. Same with the s5.

 

**** so now I have to get those pipes as well.

Well there goes my hope of getting it running by the weekend.

So far I need 5th gear back up switch, TB/OMP linkage rod, and now ******* oil pickup lines.

 

I can send you the linkage rod for the cost of shipping

 

Is it a TII connecting rod? they're different between NA and Turbo.


Hmm I'm trying to think if I can hack the lines and make some steel braided ones since I need to get it running asap. Any ideas where to get steel hose? ro something that will withstand hot oil?

 

If you had both pipe ends, you could cut off the line between, leave about 1" of pipe material on each flange, double-flare both flange ends, and use 1" rubber tube until you find the proper parts. The lower hose is just an oil drain, and though the oil does get very hot, it doesnt see much of any pressure, so any decent thickness rubber hose will work for this application for a month or 2 (probably at a lot longer in reality). I would go with either some thick heater hose or some thick PCV hose, both are set up to withstand heat well. and the PCV hose is set up to withstand oil.

 

I have the S5 tubes so I guess I'll have to start checking into it. Maybe I will cut the end pieces off and tap them. Then get some AN fittings or somethign and some braided line. I'd rather spend money on a permanent fix than a make shift one.

 

OK,
SO the tubes walls look pretty thin. I'm wondering if I will even be able to tap some threads into it without compromising it. Hopefully I don't have to find some one to weld it.

I am thinking of getting some Stainless Braided line and fittings to connect to the end pieces.

Any one have an idea of what size hose I need to get?
The piping looks like 1/2 inch or something.
Also the stainless stuff is in AN sizing. I have no idea about this stuff. What would that be in AN?

Thx.

 

Yeah its the connecting rod that just came off my TII when I pulled the omp. PM me if youre interested and ill get it all shipped
