Found a pair of used oil cooler lines SS. 12k miles on them. Wanted to know from u guys what these retail for and also where to find em.

Being sold for $100 and wanted to make sure Im paying a cool price. My turbo project is my baby and every penny counts.

Are they crimped or do they use AN fittings?

Crimped = Hell no. Corksport sells them for $130, but they're a bitch to install.

Use your old fittings and get a hydraulic shop to make you some new ones.

AN = Yes, since they retail at $200+

You can also adjust the hoses a bit so they should be easier to install.

$100 is a reasonable price. a really good price if they have all AN fittings

I purchased mine from Racing Beat and they cost me $255 w/o shipping and they have AN fittings.

turblown uses the stock fittings and re-fits them with SS lines

I wouldn't call the corksport ones a bitch to install, a little annoying at best. I've run them for 3 years now.

Thx for the feedback fellas. Not sure if what 's being sold to me includes the AN fittings, but I checked with my tech and he's gonna install the Racing Beat SS which costs about $180 brand new.

Figured Id move forward with that and what the heck...spend an additional $80.

So... what you guys are saying is that the corksport SS lines are crimped. why is that bad....

Valkyrie

Because they're a BITCH to install.

It should have been an hour job but it took me upwards of 4 hours to do it because the teflon lines are too stiff, and if the alignment of the fittings is off EVERY so slightly, they won't go on correctly (your bolt won't thread).

AN stands for army/navy. it was the standard fastener size system used by the army and navy on fluidic systems during WWII (IIRC). Its the best of the best in hose fittings. Earls exists because they sold AN to the public at a time when aeroquip wouldn't. Basically its those red and blue aluminum hose ends you see on things that go really fast and are expected to be reliable.
