Hey guys,
This may be a foolish question. But I am going to use a FC FMOC in my widebody FB project, and am curious as to how I can use SS braided lines for the oil cooler (-10an)? Do I need to have an fittings welded onto the oil cooler in order to get the lines to attach, or is there a special way to do it?

Thank you!

Lol, ok I took a better look at the oil cooler and realized how stupid of a question this is. It looks like you just put the AN adapter fitting on and your good to go....

I have another question though. Do you turbo guys use a oil distribution block or something similar in order to provide oil to your turbo's, or from the factory does mazda have provisions for such a thing?

Thanks!

The stock series four turbo gets it's oil off a banjo bolt that goes into the left top of the front side housing.

From the banjo bolt a solid metal line goes over to the right side of the engine and terminates with a threaded fitting that matches the threaded fitting ocming from the turbo.

On a non turbo there is a plug on the left side of the front side housing. That plug is made of copper and is Staked in place. IF a person has a n/a engine he is going to put a turbo on, then if the engine is apart he can remove the plug and get a tap and thread 12mm x 1.5 for the banjo bolt. I did this but found the stock turbo banjo bolt won't work so I made my own banjo bolt and installed it.

The stock tubo banjo bolt won't work because the upper 1/4 inch of that hole where the copper plug was, is to wide to accept threads using a tap. In other words you need a longer banjo bolt than the stock turbo banjo bolt.

This is a value added answer.
