Oil lines questions for garrett set up

[JeanDSM]

I already have a garrett TO3/TO4E turbo and a manifol adapter. I bought the -4an 3ft long oil feed line but i need the fitting that goes in the oil filter housing.

I want the "T" fitting. Where can i found it online or what are the specs so i can buy it on a local speed shop?

I also have all the drain oil lines fittings and about 2 ft of -10an line. I want to buy the fitting that bolts to the oil pan and to the -10an fitting from the drain line?

It would have been easiest to buy a kit that comes with the filter housing to -4an fitting, the line, the -4an to whatever the fitting size it on your garrett cartridge, and then the drainline and two fittings with gaskets for that. Try dsmotorsports of slowboyracing for those parts specifically. I'm not sure the thread pitch of the oil filter housing where the allen plug sits. Take it to a hardware store and match it up. On a 2g housing I think its 3/8 NPT. What is the thread on your center cartridge? 1/4" NPT? Might want to think about running a restrictor in the feed line if you don't run balance shafts. Garrett center cartridges normally like oil pressure between 30-55psi.

36" is long for a feed line. You only really need about 2 ft. The thread on the filter housing is 3/8" NPT. If you don't have it figured out by tomorrow morning, I'll get you the part number for the fitting you need when I get into my office.

the thread on my center cartridge is 1/4 and I already bought the 90deg fitting for it and it bolst right from the cartrige and the oil line. I will try the 3/8 one for the oil housing. I didnt bought a full instalation kit because im a student without a job here in puerto rico and i am upgrading my gst part by part. even the garret turbo i got i bought all the parts individually beacuse i dont have a full time job. Juts by washing cars in the weekends and painting houses very sheap i been buying all my car parts bolt by gasket and all that. Is it really 2ft oil feed line i need? beacuse i can change the one i got back to the speed shop.

If it is no hassle, go ahead and swap that 36" line out for a 24" line.

Here is the Aeroquip part number for the 90* fitting that screws into the filter housing: Aeroquip : FCM2618

Try Summit for pricing and availability.

Paul, is there any reasoning behind this? He already purchased the 36" line, and I don't feel its necessary to spend the extra money (although relatively cheap) for another 24" line. Sure its an extra foot of line, but he also has more routing options for the line, just incase it may be in the way of anything. I severly doubt the flow of oil will be restricted any by an extra foot of line. I'm just saying don't spend the money again if it isn't needed.

Since the 3ft oil line is brand new never opened from the box and i still got the recipt i can change it to a 2ft one and they game me the price difference. I am going to the speed shop today to buyt the 90* fitting. Thanks for the help.

I still need the oil pan -10an fitting. I email slowboy about 5 days ago and still havent recieve a reply from them. The sell them on the full kit. I just want to know is they sell them individually and whats the price.

My car still have balance shafts on it. do i need restrictor? witch one? Next week im buying the Autometer electronic Oil pressure gauge.

I was unaware that you could return the line. Go ahead and swap them out then. Paul (99gst_racer) has a weldable -10an fitting. Just drill a hole in the pan, weld the fitting in, and screw on your fitting. No gaskets, or bolts to leak from!

I still run my b-shafts along with a channel bearing Garrett turbo, and I dont use a oil pressure/volume restrictor. It's not always needed. If you do decide you need one, go with something close to a .078 hole.
