Oil Feed from Head Banjo-Bolt

[fourgsixthree33]

Hey guys. I am in the middle of installing a 14B on my 2G. T25 finally took a poop. I had a 14B, all lines, J-Pipe, etc for the install EXCEPT the banjo-bolt for the oil feed from the head.

I didn't think it would be a big deal when I started the install. Figured I'd just grab one from the parts store. Turns out, NOBODY CARRIES THEM! And I gotta work tomorrow. This is the only thing holding be back.

On my T25, I used a brake line to feed from the OFH. Is there any other method other than using a banjo bolt? Like something I could use from the parts store? AN fittings/lines? Has to be cheap though.

The local hardware store is closed on Sundays, and they don't carry ANYTHING metric anyway.

Get another new piece of 1/4" brake line, hook it to the T25's filter housing fitting. Bend it toward the turbo in a neat manner, then cut it off a little away from the turbo. Take the 14B's factory feed line and cut it on a straight section a few inches away from the turbo. Bend the lines toward each other, and buy a 1/4" compression union at your local parts store and connect the two lines.

Done.



I'm sure you're aware to only do the cutting with a tubing cutter so there are no metal shavings. Also, the T25 fitting that is in your filter housing has a restrictor, and so does the banjo end of the 14B line you'll be using. It will be basically impossible to over-oil the turbo from the filter housing with this setup.

Sorry to bring this up again but what size restrictor is it on a t25 as I was just going to get a 3/8 to 4an adaptor then 4 an ss line then a 7/16" to 4 an adaptor. So what restrictor am I needing to use? Paul at jnztuning said I dont need one on the journal bearing turbo! Please let me know as . Will add it to the order before it ships out to me
