Default Oil/water line kits

I want to see if there is enough interest for me to commit to a large order of these.

The oil line kits are for 90-95s only and tap the oil feed port on the drivers side of the block. No need to get under the intake manifold to tee off the oil pressure sender. It includes the block fitting, crush washer for it, -24" 3AN SS braided line, and 7/16-24 inverted flare fitting for turbo. Garrett/Nissan and MHI/mitsubishi T25/28 turbos use this fitting. $37 for the kit.



Oil drain is universal for all years. Included is a machined aluminum flange, 5/8" (-10AN) barb fittings (oil pan fitting has 3/8 threads to make tapping a bit easier), and 1.5' of 350F reinforced silicone hose. Fun fact, silicone hose has a higher working temperature rating than stainless braided hose in this size, by 100-150F depending on manufacturer, and is much easier to work with/bend/cut/etc. $37 for it as well, or if you still insist on SS braided, $47 with straight hose ends.





High temp reinforced silicone coolant line kit. This is a step up from your regular black rubber hose. Rubber hose is rated at 200F. This is good for 350F continuous working temp with 450F intermittent, so it won't dry/rot/crack over time. Kit comes with enough 5/16" hose for both lines, fittings and adapters for turbo. $40 for it. Didn't take individual pics but they are the blue lines on theese pics, along with the adapters attached at the top and two adapter fittings for the turbo's coolant ports.





Stainless line kit. The baller setup Includes turbo fittings, -6AN stainless braided lines (teflon lined) with a 90 degree fitting on one end, mounting bracket w/ fittings, adapters, and 5/16" silicone reinforced hose to connect to factory nipples. Again, the hose is rated at 350F continuous working temperature. This would be $120 for everything pictured above or $105 if you don't need the silicone hose. Need better pictures but here's a couple I snapped earier. The bracket attaches to the existing hoist hook bolt






So what do you guys think? Do the prices seem fair?

Would save me a headaches as I look at converting to a T25.

Good pricing.

EDIT: I do like what you did there with the coolant lines...only using stainless where you need it.

Seems like a good price. Everything you need, and don't have to spend time looking for parts.

Not really a group buy. This will be the price for everyone. Although if a group buy title is what it takes for a them to start moving, we can call it that

Thanks. I could do complete stainless, the price difference wouldn't be much if any, but it wouldn't be universal and it'd require tapping the waterneck for AN fittings. I found this to be the simplest solution to join SS lines to hose. Doesn't look bad either and like you said, ss is only needed near the turbine.

Sure. What exactly do you need? Fittings/sizes?

You can use silicone hose with AN "pushloc" fittings. AN sizes are measured in 16ths of an inch, so for -8AN fittings you need 1/2" hose. Juast a heads up though, stainless hose itself is actually cheaper than silicone, it's the fittings that make SS hose assemblies expensive. In other words, silicone hose plus AN ends will be the same price, or more than stainless. Your call, I can get you either.

Well it sounds like there's at least a few interested, so I'll go ahead with it. I guess post or PM me with what you need.

Very nice. I am using the same silicone hoses, I bought them from royal brass in San jose. They work VERY well. I like how you incorporated separate AN connections.

And yup, those silicone hoses are expensive.

I need a short hose made so I can use this TiAL pressure restricter. However, BEGi used some weird sized oil line that's not the same pitch.

Thanks for the reminder. Oil restrictor, if needed, can be added to the feed line kit for $7.

PM'd you about the line.

I've received a couple of emails asking about this, so let me clear it up.

Stainless braided hose comes in two flavors. The stainless braided lines used in the coolant line kit are teflon lined and rated at 500F working temperature. There is an advantage to using them on track cars that may need the additional heat resistance over silicone. The bigger sizes of stainless hose, like those used on oil drain kits, are usually rubber lined. Rubber is what makes them only good for 250F. The difference:

Teflon:



Rubber:

Having the water lines would have saved me from having too trim those banjo fittings. This would be a nice upgrade.

Thanks.

If a tighter fit is required, these are an option as well:

wow! wish i would have seen this before i dropped close to 200 bucks on BEGi's oil and water distribution kit!

not trying to talk bad about bell but from the looks of your set up your selling, it looks a hell of alot cleaner and more user friendly than what i got in the mail!

if i end up redoing my setup, ill be hitting you up for you oil and water lines!

you wouldnt happen to have a website would you?
