Flexible turbo oil feed line
« on: November 18, 2010, 04:47:06 pm »
Any problems using a high grade flexible teflon hose for the turbo oil feed line?  It would be a hell of a lot easier than solid tubing.  Any experience?  Any custom feed line pics are also appreciated :)

use teflon, an-stuff
37 degree flared is good

maybe a 90 off the filter housing to another 90

When doing any angle to angle the hoses will be ordered like this

13020204-xxxx-xxx
13 teflon ( titeflex) 1500 psi working
02=90
02=90
04=size -4
xxxx hose in inches and eight's of a inch
xxx=rotatation angle

One angles will be clocked at 000 rotation, the other end will be the rotation in degree's

You may purchase a adjustable angle fitting or just add a elbow on both mounting surfaces and you can use  straight fitting's on the hoses assy

I had a aircraft hose shop for years..

teflon hose can be purchased with a clear shrink or firesleeve for protection

let me know if I can help ?

That is what I did. Fittings are about 12.00 each and the hose is kinda pricey. I sold one for around 90.00 ready to bolt onto the car to a guy last month. IIRC JIC 6 hose and fittings. Turbo and filter flange are M12-1.5 to 6 JIC  works like a champ.

I use braided high pressure line from the oil filter to the turbo.  With AN adapters to pipe thread, works great for me.
