RX6 Oil Inlet fitting needed bad!

Mine broke due to overtightning, just snapped. This is the oil inlet with a 10 mm 1.5thread to a -4 an fitting. This fitting also has the oil restictor jet on it, so it would be impossible to get at a hose shop. Please let me know if anyone has suggestions, etc.

Thanks,

Ravi

I did the same thing when I first installed my kit. just give apexi USA a call. hopefully they will have it in stock, otherwise you will have to wait for it to come from japan.

I think Earl's makes a fitting in that size(no restrictor though). You can probably restrict the oil flow with a pill similar to stock wastegate line pill or a carb jet.

yup, apexkw had to order one through apex usa..... it sucked, took like 3 months and was such a hassle...... best thing to do would be to just get a normal earls fitting, have the top brazened up (welded) and then just drill a small hole in the weld the same size as the stock hole.... or try using a pill, that might work good too......
