Where to get Fittings for DIY Fuel rail and Oil pan tap
 
Alright guys, these are the last little bit of stuff I need, I have everything for the oil feed, I just need the oil return stuff, and the fittings to do the DIY dual feed fuel rail...


so basically where can I find all this cool shit:
Rail:
21/64" Drill bit
1/8" NPT tap
1/8" to 5/16" brass fitting
5/16" Brass Tee

Oil Pan: I have a 5/8" slipon style fitting already on the turbo, I need...what 2 feet of silicone 5/8" line.
23/32" drillbit
1/2 NPT tap
1/2 NPT Slip on fitting...

ACE Hardware was my best friend...easily found all stuff for fuel rail... fittings, tap, and drill (already had in drill set)

little more difficult finding the pan stuff, but i used 3/8 fittings for oil drain. and someone loaned me the tap and bit, and I passed on to another. thepipe father.
prepare to spend $ on a 1/2 tap. best to borrow one...if you can

goodluck

Sounds about what I expected.

As mentioned many times the dual feed stuff can be found at ur local parts store...

FYI Begi sells a drill/tap on their site for I believe $20, some people have had a hard time finding these...

I just went to HF, and bought a $100 tap/die set....used what I needed and returned 2weeks later, no questions asked...gotta love that place

ACE Hardware, Lowe's, Home Depot, Builder's Square, etc., will all provide you with a 3/8" NPT to nipple fitting.

If you want AN, try anplumbing.com, pegasus, racerpartswholesale, summit, jegs, etc.

What would you guys recommend? Koto, you think its worth a few extra bucks to pick that up and have reliability and pimpness...and to use that piece, THAT one goes directly into the pan after I drill/tap it...jb weld until my car weighs more and that is a wrap?

I just a 5/8th slip on fitting on the bottom of my turbo...so I need to buy the line and get the fittings.

I like the idea about returning that stuff to HF...lol. Its like the wallmart of tools.

20$ for a non AN fitting?
