Oops I was wrong $75

eBay Motors: Turbo Rebuild kit Mitsubishi Greddy TD05H 16G 18G 20G (item 380021192295 end time May-04-08 07:38:17 PDT)
i never said i wanted to rebuild my 16g right now. There a lot of oil coming out of it and i need to just swap it out for right now until i get the time to take it apart and rebuild it.

As mentioned the stock 2g oil feedline & return are different then the 16g. For the feed you should still be able to pick up a factory line from the dealer (should be 2 pieces) if you don't have a stocker laying around. For the oil return, it depends on what they used when installing the 16g. Most just use the stock 2g & file the bolt holes abit larger, if this is the case in your situation, then you can just reuse it. For the coolent lines, they probably re-used the stockers but may have flipped them over or reversed their location to fit better with the 16g. With the t25 mocked up, you should be able to play with the lines to see what makes them fit properly. Other then that you'll need a need oil return gasket/gaskets(if you remove both ends) & 4 new 14mm crush washers for the coolent lines. The IC pipes will probably be slightly different as well, so you'll either need a stock 2g lower IC pipe or something aftermarket or rig something up.
hey can you explain how the LICP is different between the two?
