Ok, so ive decided to run a S5 turbo on my -RE until I can get some money together for a T04R. I had some s4 drain lines on the car, but they didnt line up at all. So I chopped them up, shortening the the one off the turbo, and rotating the one on the front cover. I got them all as close as I could, put the bolts in, and when I started tightening them down one of the welds broke. So I just decided to break the last remaining weld, and use a piece of heater hose between them. It was about 8 inches long. I guess it didnt work out too well, cause puddles of oil were forming under ther car beneath the turbo. Thats when I picked up the S5 oil drain lines. Long story short, where the two meet in the middle, the upper piece was about 1/8th of an inch farther forward than the lower piece. I loosened the two so I could get the middle bolts in and tightened em all down, but im still worried they're going to leak. Are they (s5 lines) supposed to give you this much trouble? If they leak again ill have to fabricate some heavy duty lines. Ive got a few feet of -10an hose left over from my oil cooler lines. Anyone know if there is an adapter to fit the turbo side of the oil lines? Does anyone have a parts list?

I figure:
-10an line
-10an 45 or 90 bend for the turbo side (not sure which is used)
-10an straight hose adapter for the front cover
-10an adapter to the front cover
-10an adapter to bottom of turbo

 

Arg someone has to have some info/opinions.

 

Ive stumped the greatest of minds obviously.

 

It's easy to use S5 on S4, but the RE has a completely different front cover. Last time I saw one was Saturday, so it's fairly fresh in my memory. If I were you, I would just tap a new hole into the front cover and make your own lines. Or make a flange to mount to the oil drain, and tap for the appropriate AN fittings.

Heater hose kind of sucks for oil. It gets dissolved. At least, it did when I used it. Left me 10 miles from home with a huge puddle oil under the car.

 

I can give a huge confirmation to that aswell....

 

Well, the heater hose is off as of right now. I just wish I knew if I could find a place for the oil drain parts.
