Try ATP Turbo, they sell different combos/lengths of oil feed lines. If it's not listed, call them and they'll make it how you want. They should have the other stuff you're looking for.

14x1.5 is made, one came with my Aspec kit but I'm using a 1/4 NPT x -4AN 90 in its place.

A good place for fittings when everyone else is on back order is pitstopusa.com - they'll drop ship it from wherever within a day or two.

Other good sources for odd ball fittings/hose, ANplumbing.com and pegasusracing.com

to answer one of your questions, as to what you need to connect back to the block. I believe a npt type fitting will work. not 100% sure though. If your doing a custom return line, Iv seen people drill a hole into the oil pan and use any type of fitting with teflon and a nut on the inside of the pan to hold it in place.
summit or jegs should have all the fittings and hoses you need. give them a call if you cant find it on their website.

hope I helped.

first off thanks

but now im kinda confussed... i dont think im sure how the return line works...... i already have the flange for the turbo which is a 1/2 npt thread... so i need a 1/2npt to 5/8 barb fitting then the 5/8 hose then to another 5/8 barb fitting with what thread and where does it lead to? i thought it goes to the front cover of the engine? the plate that holds the omp.... but what is infinite talking about the oil pan??


i forgot to add that they need to be black, silver or that brass color.... :/

Ok. In the front iron there is a banjo fitting that oiled the turbos from the factory. You will take that banjo bolt out and screw in your adapter fitting for the feed. As for the return, the easiest way would be to take the factory tube where the stock turbos' return connects and cut one flange off, then you could slip the hose over the tube and clamp it for your return. You could also make a flange that bolts where the factory return goes and tap it for 1/2 NPT.

1/4 NPT threads into the oil feed outlet in the front plate where the banjo bolt came out. The tapered threads seal it, have seen it work on a couple of other cars. I switched to a 90 and longer oil feed line so that I could route the oil feed line under the water pump and turbo for a cleaner install.

Kinda phallic to be honest. That's y I didn't take pics holding them. Someone over at aspec would be laughing at me. :-D

They sure are sturdy.

And if I'm not mistaken, they are billet so that adds HP. lol jk billet craze and all.

Damn those are nice. I just gave them a call and left a message. How much did all that run you? Is that for a standard T04?

They are around average prices from ATP as well. ~130-160ish Dont be in a hurry. They take time to fabricate. The guys from A-Spec dont make millions from this, so take your time. :-)

They are for a standard GT35R flange. Your manifold makes a difference when fabricating. custom stuff takes longer to fab.
