oil lines
do i have to have steel bradded line for my oil feed and does any one have pics of what ports the oil lines go too?
|
yes. and yes, click my link, picture there.

Braineack is being a little terse, I won't say you have to have braided lines, just that if you don't want your engine to blow up you probably should. If you know what you are doing a stainless hardline could work well, or maybe socketless, but once you got done heat shielding the socketless hose you have spent enough for the braided anyway.
|
The stainless is much more durable. If you go with rubber lines, plan to replace them in about 2 years.
What do you need photos of? Oil Supply source? Fittings at the turbo? Stephanie |
Dude, seriously, click the link (and then read the whole thing) in Braineaks signature before asking anymore questions.
|
hard lines work well, but requires measuring and bending

I would certainly recommend you going with the -4AN stainless braided line. They aren't all that expensive, and it won't ever be a concern of whether it could fail.

Get the stuff with the teflon liner for sure.
|
has anyone made their own with that hard plastic tubing and SS braided sleeves? don't know if it'll support the heat but works wonders with my homemade IC cooler, lol...
|
i got my nitrous kit layin around can i use the line going from the box to the intake for a oil feed line?
|
probably not, oil lines and nitrous lines are made for opposite purposes, cold hot... IDK

36" Return about 12-18" depending on the manifold....i always buy 24" and cut it down. |
We use 26" lines from the 1.6L block to the distribution bracket. If you were going straight to the turbo, I am sure it could be shorter.
