T78 oil lines

(Already searched)

Anyone know the size of the fittings for the feed and drain on a T78 turbo.
I checked here but dont know if they have to be an exact size sorry or are they universal. http://www.rx7store.net/category_s/232.htm
Also what size oil feed lines and drain lines and what size restrictor pills is needed. I live right by www.bakerprecision.com and sell all fittings and lines but need the sizes. Please any info would help.

The feed line im using a complete -4AN line with no restrictor, I believe the oil feed thread/pitch on the t78 is a 10x1.25...i could double check for you i have the earl's part number somewhere in my boxes of stuff.

as for the return it's a flange so you're going to need a flange to adapt it to either a -10AN or -12AN line, and youll also need the adapter for the front cover as well.

i'll double check the oil feed thread/pitch tomorrow for ya, it might be 8x1.25 or 10x1.25 i havent ordered that part in a long time lol.

I'm using a an adapter to -4an on the turbo to a 90 degree -4an, and then you could use an adapter and a striaght -4an or a 90 deg -4an on the front housing.

i'll get you the thread pitch and size for both those when i get home (like 3 hours from now)
