-6an oil feed line

[4g63t]

I am going to make my own oil feed line. I have all the fittings I need except for the one that go's into the oil filter tree. Does anyone know what size and thread this is? I want to use -6an line so my turbo will get enough oil. If someone could tell me the size and thread it is I would grateley apreciate it. Also if some one could tell me the lenght of their braided line so I know how much to get would be grate. I don't have time to take out the plug and go and mesure it. THANKS!

Generally oil feed lines should be -3an or -4an. You don't have to worry about getting enough oil to the turbo with either of those lines. The cost of the line and fittings will probably cost more than buying a premade line from a vendor

^yea -6 is too big for a feed line, as long as there are no kinks in the line and your oil pump works your turbo should get plenty of oil. I am using a 24" long -3 line for my ball bearing turbo, if yours is a standard bearing I'd stick with a -4.

3/8"npt will work fine. Get a 45* instead of a 90* and it will make installation a lot easier.

I got everything I need today $7.89 for fitings at Menards and $12.50 for 30" of -3 line. The cheepist kit i could find was ebay for aound $30.00. I think I came out ahead ill put it on tomarow when I change my oil.
