Turbo Oil Hardline Fitting

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

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

I always thought it was NPT.

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.

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

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.
