14b to 2g install. can't find info needed.

[98GSXtacy]

Ok, I know there are alot of threads on it already, but...none of them describe it I can or cannot use the stock 1g oil feed to install the 14b on my 2G. I would like to run it from the head since it is a MHI turbo and all but don't know if it will bolt up to my head or not if I bend it. Please guys help me out, I don't have any money right now for a stainless line but have everything else ready to go.

Yea you can use that stock line. You just gotta bend the line a little. Thats what im doing for my 14b, so far its been working with no issues.

Ill take pictures of it in the morning and show you how it routes.

 

[98GSXtacy]

Yes please do. I haven't had a chance to mount the turbo w/o it yet since it's my daily and just can't figure out in my head how it will route. And all the write ups for head feeds for 2g's that I look at, the pics don't show up so if you could please get a close up of where on the head it bolts up at, that would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks again man. Oh, one more thing, I use the stock 1g banjo bolt with it correct?

It is recommended that you use it.

If you cannot afford a Oil feed line, i would hold off and save some money first.

 

[98GSXtacy]

The only thing I can't afford right now is the stainless feed line. I have a stock 1g oil feed that will work. Just waiting on the pic to see how he ran it and all. And like I said before, all the pics I try to look at to see what part of the head it goes to never load on my comp for some reason.

When I ran a 14b on my 2g, I used the stock 1g feed line coming from the head. Flipped the coolant lines and bent them slightly to reach. If they don't add a little more hose so it fits like you want.

 

[98GSXtacy]

Ok awesome, I was going to be using the stock water lines and a 1g return. Do you maybe just have a pic or something of where I need to mount the oil feed onto the head? That's really all that'll be holding me up now that I know I can use the stock line.

 

[95burgundyesi]

The front passenger corner of the head will have a bolt or plug on the thermostat side. The stock 1g banjo eye need to line up with that hole. And a bajo bolt with 2 crush washers goes on each side of the eye. I don't have a picture, but if you have the line in hand, hold it to the head, and you should see where it would position its self on top of the turbo. If you are still lost I can't sleep and can draw in MS paint to pass the time.

 

[98GSXtacy]

Nah, I know where it is now . Thanks a bunch guys, you have helped me out a ton. Mods can close this if needed.

 

[Bluefire16]

Again i repeat, i would hold off on modding your car....when you start modding your car, you will start to break your car. And if you dont have any money, it takes money to fix and replace things.

Good luck

I was wondering if the plug from the head would block the original 2g oil feed source, and are we tapping into the head for oil because its less pressure?

Heres a picture of my 14b setup on my 2g. Just got everything fitted up. I used the stock 14b oil feed line from the head, stock oil return. And i used 1 14b coolant line and I ended up using on from my t25 and just bent it because I needed it to clear my j-pipe.

Don't mean to go off topic but you really should be using the oem "cone" washers (MR187848) on the manifold to turbo bolts. Without them the bolts will be prone to backing out. You need 8 total (two washers per bolt) stacked on top of each other with the dots that are on them facing away from each other.

yeah, I have the washers. Theyre just not on in this picture. Same with all the gaskets, and crush washers are missing too. I was just fitting the coolant and oil lines. This isnt the final assembly

 

[98GSXtacy]

Thanks a bunch Kyle. That is exactly what I was looking for with the exact info I needed.

 

[Kyle_T]

no problem man

 

[TJCTalon]

I have the same question as above. Can i use the plug that was on the head location to block of the line from the filter housing?

 

[98GSXtacy]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the bolt you pull out of the head location is not the same size as the bolt you need to plug the OFH feed location. If I remember right, the bolt size is 3/8"bspt.

 

[1gdsmftw]

you can use the stock oil feed but it isn't recommended...just get a steel mesh oil feed for it...its not that expensive...and no you cant use a t25 oil return the port on the 14b will not fit the flange it is too narrow! the water lines yes just bend them to fit but be careful...

if you are going to use the head port then get the plug bolt off a 1g ofh and put it where the oil feed comes out of the ofh on the 2g same thread same size same location it comes out with an alan key
