I am replacing the S14 SR20 stock turbo with an Apexi AX53B60-P25 (bolts on). I only have the turbo itself, so I'm finding the parts I'll need to do the turbo swap myself. The gaskets are no problem-but I'm not too clear on how the oil/water lines work. Sorry if these questions sound real basic or are wrong questions, but everyone has to start somewhere.
1) Can I re-use the factory lines? I heard that they have to be bent. If I were to get custom AN6 SS braided lines, how long do they have to be?
2) It's not necessarily true that the fittings used to connect the oil/water line to the turbo are standard between turbos (i.e., between the factory turbo and the apexi turbo) is it?
3) I have the measurements for the fittings for the block end..but how can I go about finding measurements for the turbo end fittings? Even better, if someone can simply tell me (or has experience with the Apexi ax53b60-p25).
If anyone has any additional advice on turbo installation/parts I'll need for installation in general please let me know. Thanks!
