SS oil line rerun

[andytalon]

I was wondering I saw a kit that runs the oil line on a 1g to the oil filter housing, to get first priorty oil right after the filter, anyway I just recently got the line that goes from the turbo to the head, put the banjo bolts on and i noticed after 2 days there was a lil drop of oil on the head part, so I tightend it and the bolt broke the head. I got some Jb weld, and poped some in there, and I was gunna drill it and rethread it but, cant I just block it off and run that same fitting to the oil filter housing? All I would need to know is where to mount it and what hardwhere(fittings) I would need for this line (http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=2355&)
I have the turbo banjo bolt I would just need the fittings for the filter housing thats it, Anyone help would be greatly apprechiated!!

Ask SBR, but it should come with the required installation equipment. Atleast the one I got from RRE did. The banjo bolt will only be used at the turbo connection. Seal off the head oil feed area. Pull off the block-off bolt at the oil filter housing (assuming it's near the same as 2G's). Then thread the new oil feed line on with the proper fittings. My kit came with 1 90* angeled adapter one for the oil filter housing.

well the problem is I have the kit for Turbo-Head, not the one that you are talking about, I was going to convert mine to the one you have, what would I need to do that with the line I have?

First off, you will need a longer line because the one you have is too short. You will need a 3/8 npt to 1/8 npt reducer to screw into the oil filter housing, a 1/8 npt to -3 or -4 an(depending on what size line you have) and I would suggest that be a 45* fitting for best clearance.

You would be better off just buying the line kit for the oil filter housing.
