Garrett T3 oil lines
« on: May 11, 2007, 01:46:37 pm »
I'm putting a T3 on my AAZ and need both oil feed and drain lines. Most sites that I can find state that a T3 has a 1/8 NPT inlet thread, but mine is a straight thread with a copper gasket. Does anyone know where I can get the right lines???

Good point.

The return line is low pressure but hot... I've seen various things fabbed using braided stainless steel hose.

One example of a fabbed oil return line using stainless-steel hydraulic line courtesy the ingenuity of our friend Speedy:
