Default cant find the right drain flange

this is drving me insane trying to find a drain fitting. i have what i thought to be a t3 turbo, but the oil return flages dont match up. the one that came with the kit doesnt work so i went on ebay and bought one. the problem is that the one i bought is the same damn thing just newer! i think i finally found one that is going to fit, but idk. the t3 flange is measured at 50.8mm (about 2 inches)from the middle of each bolt hole, but the port on my turbo is only 2 inches from end to end! I did some more measuring and the holes are 1.5 inches apart. I wish i could post a pic but the camera has disappeared again. if anyone has had this problem before let me know what the hell is going on. thanks.

50.8 mm is known as a T3 drain flange

44mm is known as a T25 flange

38mm is known as a 14B flange.

Anything other than that and you're best bet is to get the next smallest one to what you need and drill out the mounting holes.

If you need a 14B flange let me know. I have some that aren't in packages anymore and they aren't in "send to customer" quality without the hardware and fancy bags. lol

So that means 1/2 price right?

Do you have anything that will fit on the IHI RHB5's from the ford probes?

I am having a hard time locating them, other than the stock "pipe" they come with. Those just won't work in my application.

Measure the drain flange mounting bolt holes and refer to my first post. That will give you an idea of which one you'll need.


Yeah Jeff, Half, 52%, whatever you call it.
