pte gt30 oil feed fitting help

[WILOWNU]

OK, so I bought a used gt30r and it doesnt have the oil feed fitting and the oil feed that I used on my other garrett T3 (super 60) is a 1/8th inch pipe thread and doesnt fit. Does anyone know what fitting I need?

Forced performance sells the oil feed line you require, that is sourced from the end of the head (which is the preferred feed location with the GT center section). They also sell the black inline filter that is recommended to be used with a BB turbo.

More then likely your old super 60 sourced the oil from the filter housing, which has too high pressure for a BB turbo. Do you already have some sort of restrictor with the new turbo?

I have everything coming from the end of the head, the bolt fitting out to a -4 line and had a -4 to 1/8th inch pipe thread adapter that went into my old turbo. I believe that the gt series uses a -4 inlet, but I wasnt sure. Also if I needed to use a restrictor since even if I am using the oil feed from the side of the head. Any idea?

A -4 line is whats normally used. Even though your feeding off the head, most still run a restrictor & thats what FP/Garrett recommends (from FP website):


The body of the black filter features a built in .8mm (.030") restrictor as recommended by Garrett for use with their GT25R, GT30R, GT35R cartridges.


Here's a link to FP's inline filter that also has a restrictor built in (you'd want the black one):

Forced Performance: FP -4 AN Inline Filter

This is the filter I run with a -4AN feedline off the head for my FP3052 (same turbo as GT3076R) & what I was told to use when I bought the turbo. As far as the thread size for the turbo oil feed, that I'm not sure of.

ordered the part from advanced tuning performance (atp) overnight shipped it.

it was a -4 with .030 restrictor to -4 inverted flare.
