help with turbo id, and oil feed line size.. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i got what i think is a t3/t04e turbine, already installed. also just got in the mail the jgs tools oil line kit. for some reason, the fitting feeding the turbine is too small.. this is the second line kit i've ordered, dont remember where i got the first one from. how can i figure out exactly what size turbo i got? also, what kinda fitting i need to feed it?? if anyone could point me in the right direction, i'd greatly appreciate it!

thanks a lot!

You need a bushing, I had to use one for my Garret T3/T4. Can't remember the for life of me what it was, I think it was a 1/4 to 1/8 inch.

any idea what the thread might be on the turbo?

Is your turbo clocked correctly?

Sorry to get off topic here, I can't help you with the line question.

Just wanted to say that, damn your turbine housing is close to your MBC. What happens when the engine rocks under accel? And what are you planning to do to stop the heat transfer to the MBC?

GL with your lines...

thats cause the car used to be an auto, and had a chubby brake booster that pushed the mc forward. i'm replacing that with a manual version, so that should help with the clearance issues.

as far as the lines go, ok, if i get the 1/4 to 1/8 bushing or adaptor, how would i fit an oil pressure restrictor on the housing then? these oil lines are really starting to get on my nerves.........

Well the oil restrictor is usually 1/8 NPT fitting right? So screw that into the bushing, then your oil line AN to NPT fitting into the restrictor.

Your best bet is to contact Harp at Taka Motorsports. He does this stuff every day and can get you exactly the lines you need.
