Hi guys. Searched first despite the hideously-slow performance, so bear with me and thanks for taking the time to look at this.
There is this thread which went un-resolved.
And then there's this thread discussing plugging it in order to plumb a GT35R on a 7-bolt where they talk all around it, about how bad it leaked, and alternatives to using it, but nobody states the size.
I'm trying to put a -AN fitting directly to that port in the block with the end result being -AN coolant lines for the turbo. I only have a Big16g, but I want -AN lines. The turbo coolant feed comes from a nipple on the water pipe, while the return is on the block. I think that's which is which on a 7-bolt... I don't want to plug the hole, I just want to use it with different fittings. Swapping that fitting out would give me an extra 7/8" of clearance and I don't want to break it if I can't use it.
Here's a pic of the fitting. It's got the factory line (with its finger in the #4 freeze plug's butt) bolted into it. My block was powder coated with the fitting in-place so I know it's going to be a bi*** to remove.
