16G Install Questions

[Wicked_Sick]

Ive been trying to put an Evo 3 16G into my GSX after my T25 blew up. I have a couple questions about it that I havent been able to find the answers to.

1) How can I get the oil feed line tight? I have it fed from the head, and where the line screws into the adapter that is screwed into the turbo. It is an L shaped fitting and there isnt room to fit an open end wrench around it and I cant get a socket over it because of the shape.

2) Does anyone have a picture of how the coolant lines are run? I don't remember which line goes where as far as feed/return. Both of the lines from my T25 are too short to attach so I can't tell where they'd go.

Thanks for the help.

1. Get a long line to the oil where your T25 was and call it a day $20

2. Remember this one because its the most important lesson you will learn this year. VFAQ.com is you friend, its like the palm of you hand on a quiet lonely day when your woman is away or at work.

Did you get the install kit to go along with that?

maybe you should just but an install kit

get the feed from the oil filter where your last turbo was feeding from and there you go

I bought the kit from extremepsi, the line fits fine on the head but I cant get it tight on the turbo.

where the oil line is hanging, theres a L shaped fitting that the line screws into and then the fitting from that into the turbo. I cant get the middle piece tight.


I did use the VFAQ but it doesnt say which line goes to which tube. I know the feed is closest to the engine and return is radiator side but which line on the coolant system do they attach to? Is the feed the one out of the water pump and the return into by the transmission?

I had the same question about the coolant lines.

Delta told me that the coolant line on the radiator side of turbo goes to the coolant pipe. THe other goes on the other line.
