stainless braided OMP line sets, now in more colors!
 
pricing per set for the FC3S set of lines in any of the 4 colors is $102 shipped within the US and $110 for international orders. made payable to my paypal account at: ktm0012@sbcglobal.net.

this is a semi limited group buy until i run out of fittings to build the lines or find more. if anyone has a number of the line end fittings i am looking for more. they must be in decent rebuildable condition. PM me and i will see if we can work out a price depending on how many you have.

please send me a PM when you order a set and i will check that the payment has gone through to get the production and shipping process completed. turnaround time is usually same day as noted from the original thread here(unless on a weekend or holiday then i will ship them on monday):

will send yours out with today's shipment.

RotaryEvolution 12-08-11 04:47 PM

clear line now in stock again. looking for more OE fittings if anyone is sitting on a pile of broken OMP lines with fittings on them and wants to make a few bucks let me know.

cab91089 01-08-12 11:47 AM

Those are nice lines theyre definitely worth the price I need to get a set when i t2 swap and rebuild the engine

J5sense 01-13-12 03:35 PM

4 mo ago i needed these! would buy if i was doing it all over again. looks great

PortedRotorTuner 01-14-12 08:11 AM

Need a set of clear for 87' Turbo

sharingan 19 01-15-12 05:55 PM

You if you keep coming out with all these useful products I'm just going to ship my car to NV and let you install them too, lol.

nycgps 01-21-12 01:06 PM

Ahhhh i bought all new omp lines couple months ago!!! Argh

I think i still have my old fittings somewhere. Need to check and hope i didnt throw it away.

If i send you my fitting, how much would it cost to make a set of these shipped to 11375? I probably wont need yo use it for couple of years but it doesnt hurt ti have a spare around.you can pm me if you want.

Thanks man.

RotaryEvolution 01-22-12 12:22 PM

$10 off if you supply your own set of fittings for the 4 line FC set. $5 off for an FD set(only 2 lines). OR if you have spares that is how much i am paying to buy decent used ones. originally a had a decent sized box with broken lines, that box is now empty.

i have a few sets of fittings left but inventory is now bouncing off the floor trying to keep the banjos in stock. so far still a few left that are not spoken for.

i found some replacements new but the the banjos(brake hardware) alone are $80 for an FC set of lines... that would put the materials cost at $115 for an FC set and i still would have to check fitment and get them clocked, so overall with new banjos the price would probably be in the $175 shipped range(still not bad considering). i am still digging though to try and find something more cost effective to keep the price down and build them 100% new.

Brigdh 01-24-12 01:04 PM

Any chance I can still get a set of blue for a s5 t2? Unfortunately I don't have fittings I can send to you.

just startn 01-24-12 11:20 PM

i have sets of lines. there good still but...

FCs4226 02-10-12 09:32 PM

still have clear for s4 t2?

Otay 07-02-12 12:42 AM

Back from the dead!!!
4 complete FC sets headed your way!!

superjeff 07-04-12 05:58 AM

Why not use stainless wire ties? They are cheap enough from places like Home Depot...

RotaryEvolution 07-07-12 05:46 PM

got em, Thanks Otay. will get yours done over the weekend.

Jeff, not sure about wire ties. the clamps i use are basically OEM style 2 ear clamps but stainless steel(at least they are claimed to be, never did any corrosion tests). if it works, why mess with it? i also add a little sealant to prevent leaks and have heard no complaints so far even on modded turbo applications. these clamps may look cheap but they are not. almost $5 for 8 of those little bastards and they offer decent clamping force, required for these multi layer lines. unless you mean the nylon ties i used for the pictures? those are just for aesthetics to keep the lines in place for the pictures, the lines will fit into the stock armatures with a little tweaking since the lines are fatter. other fasteners are up to the customer to play with.

anyone else interested in discounts providing your own fittings or just looking to sell the banjos i'm always looking for extras as it's tough to keep them in stock.

so right now i have about 3 spare FC sets left or 6 FD sets for those who i didn't get back to.

Otay 07-13-12 02:44 AM

How's it going Ben, eta on the lines?

RotaryEvolution 07-28-12 05:56 PM

have one set in clear for a turbo FC ready to go.

:blush:

StevenL5975 07-28-12 06:08 PM

These omp lines look great :)

I guess they will last a lot longer than the stockers.
Actually I have a used set (S4 NA) of omp lines over here. My friend might have another one on shelf (S5 T2). And tomorrow I will get a third set (96 JDM FD).

I think we might be able to work something out as I absolutly need a set of these for my race engine (S4 NA). Will ask the FD owner if he is interested in a set too:nod:

Steven

bigdv519 07-29-12 07:33 AM

Just seeing this thread and these lines look awesome. I built a set years ago but they were not protected on the outside...they were bare metal.
Bump up for a great guy and great looking product.

RotaryEvolution 07-31-12 11:13 AM

thanks guys

right now i have spare banjos to do several sets so i don't necessarily need them to make the sets, but i will need replacements in the future so i encourage those who have broken lines or lines that will have no home back on an engine to recycle the fittings.

i've been looking for new replacements but haven't had any luck so far with banjo ends that are small enough to fit on the engine/OMP.

i just make the sets as they are ordered because of the various combinations and limited amount of banjos i have on hand.

jesseluck 11-03-12 05:36 PM

Woundering if you have any S4 turbo left?

jjandros 12-18-12 09:34 PM

I have two sets of old S4 NA lines as well as a brand new set.

RotaryEvolution 12-19-12 03:36 PM

yes i still have a few sets left but they are going pretty quick, it's that time of the year.

RotaryEvolution 12-21-12 05:20 PM

now out of stock on enough fittings to do FC sets, if anyone wants them made i will need core fittings from the lines to build them until i find more. i do have one n/a set left and ready to go but waiting for an answer before it is available or not.

also as always looking for more banjos if anyone has old broken line sets lying around and wants a few bucks for them.

i will be looking into making custom banjos but not just yet(too busy), because keeping these in stock is becoming a royal pain.

I need a S4 NA set, I have the old fittings here and cleaned. Plus I got half the fittings from a T2 set. PM me your address and I will send em all out. :nod:
Many Thanks
Steven

RotaryEvolution 12-23-12 05:50 PM

i'll send you a PM with shipping info a little later this evening.

i did price out materials to make new banjos with aluminum collets with brass inserts and when i do get around to it with all brand new hardware the line sets will probably be about $130 per set and no more trying to get and keep the banjos in stock. the other nice thing is they will not oxidize like the factory steel banjos.

i do need to fix my lathe first, to cut the collets to size and mill down the smaller banjos(material sizes are not exact and need to be machined).

Any update on these? Just wondering if you're able to build the banjos yourself now.

IDwenger 03-06-13 05:09 AM

I'm interested, what is the tubing your using? Where could I get some? Or maybe you have everything to make a set for a S5 N/A?

yes, i am set up now to make new banjos but there will be a price increase to produce the new fittings. i will still have the version 1.0 line service available but the v2.0 lines with aluminum/brass banjos will be about $45 higher than the v1.0 refurbished OEM banjo sets, customers will have to provide their own fittings(send them directly to me) and turnaround times will be longer than the v2.0 due to that.

https://imageshack.us/a/img341/5833/picture098u.jpg

there isn't much benefit of the v2.0 over v1.0 with steel fittings, they're basically identical but this allows me to not have to go back and forth when/if i have any banjos available. for the most part most people have not been wanting to deal with sending theirs in. in all respect these lines should last longer than the OEM lines as well as look much nicer, but they will also be more expensive versus the v1.0 lines which i priced below the OEM sets.

realistically it takes about an hour of labor not including parts to make the 8 banjos for an FC line set, since i have still not been able to find any proper replacements already fabricated this is the best i can offer at $147 shipped for the v2.0 sets in any of the 4 colors.

if there is enough interest i may do a group buy on the v2.0 sets since i require no cores to make them and it is much simpler if i just make them in mass amounts versus a few sets at a time. but the price will still not be greatly reduced, since at best it takes 1.5 hours from start to finish of labor not including cost of raw materials, and these materials are not exactly cheap. i could probably knock off about $20-25 if i had an order of 20 or so sets.

clokker 05-06-13 09:58 AM

Windows XP, really?

More to the point though, I bought a set of the V-1 lines and am quite happy with them.
As originally designed, I find the OMP system to be incredibly halfassed (why all these flimsy oil carrying lines are run externally makes it seem like an afterthought) but Ben's replacements make a bad setup better (they don't crack at least) and they look kinda neat too.

orange 08-08-13 12:04 AM

How much for a set of your clear V2 lines with shipping to New Zealand?

sp1d3r 08-16-13 08:52 PM

I'm interested in a set of your v2 lines as well. Are you still making these? If so, can you please pm a price with shipping to 97504? Thank You.

RotaryEvolution 09-28-13 08:29 PM

yes, i'm still making the line sets. and i'm still out of stock with the OEM banjos so the above still applies to the original version. the new versions i can make at any time.

"I contacted Ben to arrange for his Braided OMP line upgrade service. I had my S4 OMP shipped to him and upon recieving it he quickly went through and gave me a health update. From the looks of this OMP it was clear that i had lucked out, he had nothing but stellar results as this could basically be considered new for all intensive purposes.

Ben advised me that with this being the case i really shouldn't need any service he offers, whether it be a rebuild service, new braided lines or or even new aluminum banjo fittings. I had this rebuilt for more as a show piece than anything else so I pressed on with all the necessary services as i wanted a "bulletproof" OMP in the end.

I told Ben what i wanted, even though he suggested that it was not necessary, he got started immediately and was very flexible on payment terms. He Finished everything in 2 days!!! Ridiculous.

For anyone that would be considering Ben to do any service i would highly recommend him. I have also got a pair of his Coolant Savers and they are awesome, great guy.

phil226 10-20-13 02:42 AM

good stuff

incubuseva 11-07-13 11:39 PM

Still doing this? how much do you buy a set of stock OMP banjo bolts for? I may have a set laying around.

RotaryEvolution 11-08-13 01:40 PM

i pay $10 for each FC set of fittings, doesn't matter if the lines themselves are broken or not.

vl4bad 11-12-13 04:38 PM

could you explain the benefit of these? i dont understand what they really are/do.

please excuse my noobness

incubuseva 11-13-13 04:55 PM

You have a metering oil pump. It pumps oil into the rotor housing so the apex seal is lubricated on the housing.

These lines are stupid brittle. So much that if you look at them wrong they break.

The SS lines offered here are a replacement of said brittle lines and will last much longer than stock lines.
