What oil fitting for killer 16g?

Its the oil supply for a killer 16g. Its a an4 fitting up top but the hydraulic shop didn't have anything threaded like the bottom. And I know its an Earl's fitting.

I'm just guessing from playing with 16G's a LONG time ago but IIRC it's -4an to m10 x 1.25 adapter yoiu need

go to any hydraulic repair shop that services industrial equipment and they'll have it cheapest

what is a "killer" 16g?

edit: nvm

 

[ed1380]

I did go to one. They didn't have anything threaded like that.

How positive are you on the thread pitch? Its an IHI ball bearing Turbo. They just call it a killer 16g

i'm not 100% positive jusmx141 will know it though, just gotta wait for him to chime in, I haven't touched a 16g on purpose in over 12 years

No clue- you'd have to take the fitting with you to Lowes and try some metric nuts on it to get an idea of what the thread is. It looks course- 10mm x 1.25 or 1.5 is my guess.

Never understood the point of this turbo for the price- it can be outflowed by an Evo III 16G, and I've never heard a 16G owner complain about slow spool unless there was a problem with their turbo or wastegate. For those unfamiliar- for the price of the IHI RX6 you can buy 2.5 new Evo III's. Hopefully the O.P. has some good results running this unit.

It came with the car and its on my fiance's car so she doesn't care. It spools good from when I've driven it

you guys were right. 10x1.5mm. nothing local had it. about 5 different hydraulic shops and 3 auto stores including napa (which had no fittings at all)

got it on amazon for $8 with free 2 day shipping
