The all-encompassing Turbo Oil drain/feed line thread

[JunkcollectorJ]

thanks.  Yeah, I thought about using an adapter to AN, but can not find anything that properly mates to the 18mm male end of the drain tube.

There are plenty of fittings available that will thread into the turbo itself, and adapt to an AN-8, but I'm worried that those fittings and hose will be too close, or hitting, the manifold.

This is what I was referring to...this could thread into the turbo (remove the stock drain tube) but I think the hole could melt on the manifold, so I was curious if anyone has used a return line like that.

You are correct, I wouldnt run a hose/line to the fitting on the turbo, too much heat there, that's why they have the hardline, same with the ko3 assy.

Are you sure the male fitting on the turbo pipe is 18 mm?

if so use a 9022F-08-18 on the turbo line

block assy 9069-08-XX

P.S. My new KO3 hose assy came with two new copper washers and A new banjo bolt,I installed this and a new turbo oil feed with my new KO4/KO3 Hybrid

Thanks, Gee bee.

Anyone have a pic of a custom line that they have built, and details on where you got the fittings?  one with a female swivel (18mm) on one end and the larger female swivel (22mm) on the other?

Here's my custom end at the NA pan - much earlier in my thread you'll find the turbo's end - also custom.

Thanks for the replies.

There are plenty of ways to do it...and those links helped.

I did some junkyard shopping and may have found a real good solution, with the proper swivel fitting.  A Mercedes 300D power steering line seems to have the correct fitting!  I won't know for sure until I get home tonight, but from pulling the part at lunch and looking at it, it definitely looks like it'll work.  I'll let everyone know if it does work...
