Re: tirbo drain line

Hydro oil line or silicone 15mm .. I used some stainless steel flex pipe the ridges on it helped when clamping silicone joins...
Make sure for at least the first 150mm the return is facing down, then maybe at 45* angle.. Or oil builds up in tube..
The oil is like whipped cream when leaving cra...

 

Here's what I'm using:

Re: tirbo drain line

^^
here norm,
good advice...

 

the guys from au are giving you the correct advice. the oil is slung off a shack spinning from 20k to 120k, it gets whipped up and aerated. it needs room to remove the air and drain. in the whipped form it takes more room and is not pressurized hence the need for a larger return line. standard push lok, s/s braid, anything rated for oil will work in most apps if you are having issues with heat try a telfon line hose assy. but be warned the teflon will not bend as easy as braid and can kink.

 

im using a - 10 drain line. the turbo drain is right above the frame i only have a few inches between the drain and the frame
if i can use a 45 degree fitting theni'll be ok. i didnt no how hot that area would be so i didnt no what line to use.
i have earls 350 series hose but didnt no if it could handle the heat

 

standard comp hose will work fine oil heat and all.

I use -10 stainless braid hose. Works like a charm

 

just made mine up i just used - 10 30 degree fitting with earls 350 proflex hose
tried to use a straight fitting at the turbo but not enough room.
hopefully the engine vacuum pump will help on the oil draining
