T25 to 16g install

[rinmancustom]

My question is about the oil lines some people say to run the stock line from the head to the turbo other people say to relocate it. From turbo to oil filter housing. Is there any good pics of this install thanks. I have more then enough support mods I'm actually way overpowered for this I think I have the alternator starter left and yeah everything else is new or performance parts.

The feed kits you would get are from the OFH and what exactly are your supporting mods? You don't have your profile filled out at all.

16G's aren't designed to be fed from a high-pressure oil source, like the filter housing, without a restrictor. Some have done this without an issue, others have a smokeshow from day one.

Well then what do you want our advice for? Sounds like you're well on your way to a 600+whp car.

If you run from the ofh I would go with a -3an line just in case.

Okay so basically hook up everthing from the way the factory had it. Is there a restrictor with the turbo. What's up with replacing the water lines with this install. Do I build my own?

You can either buy 1g water lines or just bend yours a little and make them fit.

I was wondering the same thing, but i found the info with a search, and have decided to feed from the fresh oil supply with the proper line.

Oh great. My last post didn't show.

Oil Feed
I suggest getting a 1g oil feed line and feeding from the head. There's a restrictor built into the line.
To plug the feed from the OFH, I just took the one fitting (it has a small hole in it) off and filled it with JB Weld. It doesn't leak a drop.

Oil Return
Three options: Buy a 1g one, buy an aftermarket one, or elongate the holes in your 2g one to fit. A small carbide burr makes this easy.

Coolant Lines
Two options: Buy 1g ones or take the ones off the T25 and bend a little to fit. The easiest way is to stick a phillips screwdriver in the pipe to support where you're bending. Works fine.

J-Pipe
There are 2 styles. One for use with a FMIC and another to work with a SMIC. The choice is yours depending on how your IC piping is routed.


I think that about covers it.

Does anyone have pics of this done or can someone expand on this or explain how they "plugged the stock 2g ofh feed line"...
