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.

Thanks teknics what are you using for the for the fitting on top of the front rotor housing (feed)? Are you still using the banjo style bolt or can I use a 90 Degree fitting?

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)
