T25 Turbo/ banjo question

[240sx-pat]

Okay, so I got a quick question about these banjo going to the oil feed and a banjo on the power steering , do these have to line up with the pipe? I've searched and found that you didn't have to line it up. just need verification if that's the case here

[herbieS13]

are you talking about the hole in the banjo bolt? i would make sure theyre aligned correctly if possible

[240sx-pat]

yea, that's exactly what I'm talking about I spent about 30 minutes trying to line these suckers up

[Sileighty_85]

No the holes dont have to be aligned. The banjo that it goes through is bowed out in the center allowing fluid to flow to the line

[240sx-pat]

Alright thanks, and do I need that white stuff to tie around the banjo to prevent leak ( can't think of the name for it at the moment)?

[Sileighty_85]

Teflon tape?

No that wont work on Banjo bolts, You need to use copper crush washers one on each side of the Banjo

Man this is great, I like these fast responses. yes that's what I was talking about, I appreciate your time ...I may have to come back and ask more retarded questions I just want to make sure everything is set before I drop this motor in so i don't have to pull it back out again, still waiting for a couple more parts to come in then I'll be done

Actually I got one last question , accidently cut that sorta thick whte wire that connects to the alternator , looks like a ground or some sort I was wondering what's the best way to bond it back together. I can't solder it because that wire is too thick

[Sileighty_85]

EDIT I read it again,

Its the one that connects to the 12mm nut?

Nut sure what to do with that, either solder it with a blow torch or but connector or replace that wire

yea that one, its to big too solder , a torch LOL , i thnk Imma get a clamp of some sort.

[Sileighty_85]

yeah the reason you cant solder a cable that big is cuz the heat disapates too quickly to melt the solder but if you use a torch you can, but ya gotta be quick or you'll melt the wire cover

240sx-pat, is all this for an sr or ka-t?

[240sx-pat]

my bad , it's an SR I'm doing my first swap ever ( more of a computer guy) there's been small things that I've been a little concern with like this, anyways I'm just about ready to drop the motor in as soon as I get my heater hose. What's up?
