Can anyone ID the turbo oil hardline fitting? It isn't NPT and doesn't appear to be a flare type thread.

that is a coolant line.

 

^ No... That is part of the oil feed hard line for the turbo.

I always thought it was NPT.

 

oh ya..sorry.Goes on the turbo to the feed line across the engine.Connects with a banjo bolt.
..Damn winter Hibernation is killing me!

 

Yes, it is certainly the the oil feed hardline. I'm trying to figure out what kind of thread is on it, no luck at the hardware store finding a mating fitting threadwise.

What does the male side look like? I'm assuming the sealing surface is the conical edge on the interior of the fitting.

I would weld to the pipe but I'm not sure what kind of metal it is, maybe a stainless. It is ferrous but doesn't rust.

 

Looks like an AN fitting.

 

That's the stock line, so it's metric whatever it is. Start trying some M12 or M14's x 1.5

 

check the master list of nuts and bolts

 

It's a very unusual metric bubble flare fitting. Don't even bother trying to find a mating flare...it ain't happening. You're best bet is to convert to AN fittings. Rotaries are fun.
