Can I use this oil line for a Big 16G?

[Cool Mr Steve]

Hey, I'm looking for an oil feed line to install my Big 16G, and I found this one on Ebay... Will it work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=26261&item=3880193110&rd=1&ssPageName=WD1V

I know it says it will work, but I'm just curious if its a good kit or not and how I would go about hooking it up. Is it easier/harder to do than buying and installing the accordion looking oil feed pipe?

 

[KlowdDragon]

yes it will

 

[Cool Mr Steve]

Is it easier than the oil feed line that looks like the stock one? Do they both bolt right up?

 

[KlowdDragon]

yea this one will bolt up easily, but differently than stock, it will go directly to the filter, which is better for teh turbo cause its getting pure filtered oil. The item looks as its worth the money, i'd go for it, should be an easy install

Ok, I'm stupid... Where exactly does the "banjo end" go? When I get the turbo in my hands, will I just look at it and say "hey, thats where and how the stupid banjo end hooks up" or is it more complex than that? The 90 degree fitting says that it plugs easily straight into the filter, so that sounds straightforward enough... Also, doesn't the stock line bolt into the oil pan? How do I block that off if I use this kit?

its not to hard pretty simple, you unplug the little oil filter nipple on the side, plug one end of the feed line to that, plug the other to the turbo, and cap off the old oil feed spot on the head

Ok, I see this kit, and it doesn't have the "banjo fitting." Where does the banjo fitting go? I want to order this right now, but I really don't understand how the Banjo thing will hook up and transport oil. How does it work?

 

[KlowdDragon]

the banjo fitting attaches to the turbo, the oil goes through it caus its not a solid metal circle, its hollow, but im not sure about which is better the banjo fitting or regular, if i were you i'd just check and see which looks like it would hook up to your turbo better and go with that one. Remember the end with the big 90 degree angle hooks up to your filter so its the other end that you have to check, i think if the stock doesnt use a banjo fitting it would be better just to go with the second one you posted, but thats just me

Well, thanks a lot for your help! Does anyone know if the banjo fitting attaches to the big 16g?
I just ordered the turbo and I kind of want the parts to get here around the same time. It would really suck to have a turbo ready to bolt up and have to wait on a stupid oil line...

Ok, I'm getting this one, I think... I'll wait a bit to see if anyones going to tell me it's horrible or something, but it looks like a safe bet...

looks good to me, good luck with your new turbo
