16g turbo oil feed line help: its leaking, need ideas for new line

[Tiki2777]

I just finished with my big 16g turbo swap and everything went mostly fine and fired up perfectly, but i am leaking oil. I found out it was leaking from the oil feed line and tried to just slip some rubber hose and zip tie it down so i could at least test drive it, but no luck. What should i do to fix this/what should i buy to replace this????

What oil feed are you running?

 

[bryanwheat]

IF the line is damaged than replace it. Are feeding from the head or ofh?

 

[jpmxrider489]

Is it leaking at the turbo or head. ( not sure about the ofh) but try replacing the crush washers before you buy a new line.

 

[Tiki2777]

The stock oil feed line from the head. I get replacing it, but with what. Is there a SS line kit out there for this?

 

[1990AWD]

Replace the crush washers, unless the line itself is bust, then you just need to find a new one.

 

[Tiki2777]

It is LITERALLY leaking from the line itself (there is a freaking hole in it, I know, i have no idea wtf happened). I just got it like that from the guy i bought the turbo from.

Get a new line from a vendor.

Or a good used 1g line.

I have a spare one from my 14b cleaned and painted but didn't end up using it.. Pm bout that if u want it cheap.

If the hole is small enough, clean it and put some J-B weld. That would do a nice patch until u switch it. Will def last a while from what I've seen it do.

I use an SS line I got from Ebay. I feed from the OFH with one very similar to this. The one in the link seems to be too short to feed from there, but would probably work from the head.

Extremepsi sells a nice stainless steel feed kit too.

That's not a bad idea, i might have to do that, but i would rather use the line from the head, so if anyone knows where to get an ss line with the head as an oil source let let me know.

As for the guy with the 14b line, it won't fit but thanks, other wise my problems would be solved. (my old 14b line did not have a big enough screw, for some reason the 16gs use bigger screws on almost all of the coolant/oil lines)

The SS kit on Extremepsi is for the head.

^ That's not a bad deal! OP, if I were you I'd go with that kit. The 14b and 16g should have the same oil feed line size, just different coolant lines.

Pretty sure that isn't true. 14b and 16gs use the exact same CHRA.

Yea, i may not have had a 14b, the compressor cover was a TD04HL, if that means anything to any of you guys. But, trust me, the banjo type screws with holes in the center were too small for my new big 16g, for sure (not knockin' ya or anythin' but just telling yea what happened).

I was reading up on Head vs. OFH, and based on what Justin (JusMX141) said, I will go with the head because i am almost certain i have no BS's and the OFH gives off too much pressure and that is entirely unnecessary for my B16g.

That was a 13g (TD04HL)

 

[92AWDHX40]

use the head to feed that turbo, pick up a line from vendor and no more leaks. unless there is something else leaking.

 

[Tiki2777]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah Bob Saget.

 

[1990AWD]

I repeat.

 

[newdsmtnr96]

Did any one figure this out because I ordered a line from forced and mine is leaking as well. I put new crush washers in and everything as well.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Whenever i put a oem line i never had leaks until the flex section broke. Crush washers, gaskets, and fired her up and no leaks.
