Oil Return & Feed Line Sizes

[DStarMotor99]

hey , can someone tell me what size can I get the feed line and the return line? Im using a log style manifold and a garret T3/T4 57 trim if that helps.

Feed line is -4an stainless steel. Return line just needs to be atleast as big as the port on the turbo. Any smaller and the oil can back up into the turbo causing the oil to force itself passed the seals. I'm using 3/4" heater hose and haven't had a problem.

That's 8-AN minimum (preferably 10-AN) if you're using SS braided line.

Why would there be?


-4an is 1/4"

I believe the " size for return is 5/8". Like I said I'm using 3/4" and I'm fine. If going with a regular hose, it just needs to be big.

Its 60 inches feedline and 14 inches return line enought?

That should be more than ample.

60" is enough for the feed line, but I doubt 14" will be enough for the return. Mine took about 20-30", I don't remember the exact amount. Go do a quick measurement. Out of all the customizing and measuring this process takes, that's one of the most simple ones to do.

It depends on exactly where you tapped your oil pan, and how your turbo is positioned. Like Josh said, go take some measurements... Personally, my return line is less than one foot long.

You're in Miami, right? Just go to Murray's, right by the Golden Glades. I got all of my lines/fittings from them. The people there know their stuff and will help you out.
