Default 14b special fittings

i was reading through the turbo project section which helps me alot to see actual pictures of ---- done like what im tryin to do.. i was reading through this one again

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/turbo_projects/****/

and whats this all about "its your basic stealthmode 14b/t25 oil line kit. Beware on these, the fitting for a 14b is metric, and the fitting in the stealthmode kit is not. It's an impossible fitting to find, and you can make this one work, but most of the time you end up with leaks, I ran this for a short time, and then"

also i cant seem to find the reducer dude was using on the j-pipe and i've been searching even on tunertoys site, unless its the 2" to 2.5" but not sure if thats right cause my j pipe measures 1.75"

You should contact the site you bought it from. They do have a customer service dept.

That is why I added the wink.

They are shipped from TunerToys if Stealthmode doesn't have something in stock or he can't get to an order in time. It is the same product.

Tuner Toys is the main distributor of my oil line kits. It's common that they ship orders for me, and as long as the customer gets everything they pay for, with good customer service and resonable shipping times, it doesn't matter where I have things shipped from.

When creating the 14B oil line kit, we used the 7/16 inverted flare fitting. Out of all the 14B oil line kits that I sell, a couple people have said that the 7/16 fitting is not the correct fitting, while others are never heard from about the issue. All dimensions of every oil line kit I sell are on the page of my website where oil line kits are ordered. We recommend that customers double check thier thread sizes and drain flange dimensions to ensure that they are ordering the correct kit for their turbo. If there is ever a different fitting that is needed, no matter what size, I will send it out, but without having any given customers turbo in front of me, I need to rely on the customer to let me know this.

A couple manufacturers have made T3 turbo's with a 1/4 thread size on the oil inlet of thier turbo's. The other 95% of T3 turbo's use a 1/8npt thread size. If you are on my site and buy a T3 kit, I don't have any way of knowing wether the customers turbo is a 1/8, or the rare 1/4. This is why I list the dimensions and ask that customers double check thier turbo's.

And if there is ever a special fitting needed, all the customer needs to do is contact me and they will recieve the fittings they specify. -Steve

I looked around for a bit and didn't see anyone posting this so I guess I'll go ahead... http://www.hahnracecraft.com/hahn/parts/install.htm

Hahn Racecraft makes a fitting for the 14B turbo that has the correct metric thread to fit TD05/06 Turbos and allows you to use a -4AN fitting.

I bought one of these about 2 years ago for a DIY turbo setup.

All 14B feed fittings are now sent out with M12x1.25 thread sizes. If anyone needs one please let me know.
