tidiness? and i have liftetime warranty on fc water pumps at vato zone

 

pm me your name and phone number. id like a nice fresh one lmao.

 

What did you do for water cooling? What oil feed line did you use?

 

how much do you have into your swap so far and what do you think your car running will cost you because im thinking about 20b but dont wanna start a 3 year project.... BTW the car is lookin great keep it up

 

havent gotten them yet.

probably 10k into engine stuff so far. also it is going pretty quickly with all things considering. full time work and full time school plus like 4 other cars that im working on.

 

Oh, ok. I looked into it yesterday. Looks like a cheap but useful option would be to go 14mm x 1.5 banjo bolt on the front plate (that's correct thread pitch and diameter for FD and Cosmo if you didn't know). The banjo fitting would have a -4 AN fitting . Then get a -4 braided stainless hose 36" length with NPT on one end and -4 AN on the other. The NPT would thread into the turbo CHRA oil feed. Being steel, it shouldn't leak compared to brass or aluminum. No need for a restrictor as the T72 has journal bearings.

Oil return is a simple aluminum fitting with a 5/8" nipple. Use a high quality hose to withstand heat but I don't think braided is necessary. A high heat silicone hose would work. Then whatever fitting in the front cover above the oil level. Most people spend big bucks here but it's not necessary in my opinion. It's not under pressure.

Coolant tubes are going to be a challenge because the typical fitting size for M16 x 1.5 is 1/2" but our waterpumps use 3/8" nipples. So I think I'll get a set of steel banjo bolts from eBay and just throw in a couple of adaptors to go from 1/2" down to 3/8". Problem solved.

Now straight or 90°?
