Im currently installing a 16g on my womans talon, I replaced the motor with a 6-bolt, and everything else fully built, but I got a new OFH for the 6-bolt block and Im planning on using my old stainless oil feed line for her oiling, but I Cannot for the life of me get that Allen Plug out of the OFH???

Ive tried Impact driver, broke my allen socket.
Tried impact gun, Broke the allen socket replaced from above.
Tried allen wrench and pipe, broke that too..

All after the allen has been soaking in PB blaster for 2 days..OFH looks brand new but I thought id just use PB anyway.

So my question is, I have an Oil feed line that is |90*elbow|=====(.125 I.D I think?? maybe -3an)=====(banjo)

So Im think about running this hose from her head now because the plug isn't there anyways. I measured the oiling hole in the 90* fitting and its .175, then I measured the stainless line ID and its a little over .125 (same size as my braided clutch hose), then the banjo fitting oiling hole is .15...Then it looks like down inside the BIG 16g's oil feed hole there is only a .70 opening..Will I be fine with this set-up on her car? Plans for her car are 400hp and I wanted to get her into some autocross events.

Thanks!!

Buy a new one if you don't have one:

MR239830 = 1G Oil Supply Line ($23 brand new from JNZ)
MF650102 = 10mm Banjo Bolt For Head ($11 brand new from JNZ)


If you really want to get that plug out, it takes heat. Lots of heat. We learn at a young age that steel and aluminum don't get along- add 15 years to that equation along with the fact that the plug is tapered by design, and you'll come to the conclusion that you may never get it out without heat.

Heat the housing around the plug- try to keep the plug as cool as you can. You want the aluminum housing to expand and the steel plug not to expand if at all possible.

Yeah I had this same problem a few weeks ago on my car but just bought the 1G line, and was good to go.

I did use heat every time I tried to get it out, MAP gas to be exact around the housing without touching the plug..

But my question is I already have pretty much a line here comparable to the 1G line that I made from 2an or 3an (I.D looks to be .125) but all im missing is the banjo on the 1g line that has a .070 restrictor built in..But it looks as if inside the CHRA oil feed hole itself the hole is already .070??

So what difference does a .070 restrictor banjo a half inch away from a .070 oiling hole in the CHRAmake compared to just one .070 oiling hole in the turbo?

Will my line really be flowing that much more compared to the 1G line given my line is .125 ID, its not like a -4an line here...

I mean if the only difference from my line to the 1G line is im missing a .070 banjo resrictor, I cant see it hurting anything..
