Re: hard steel brake line as feed line
Considering pretty much every stock turbo car uses hard lines, there should be no problem. Actually less chance of a problem, since it wont flop around, and maybe rub on the manifold and melt, or get caught on a belt or something.
Won't have the bling-blang braided stainless good looks, though. |
Re: hard steel brake line as feed line
The lines aren't what really cost the money, it's the fittings that go on the Stainless line..they cost quite a bit. You can get a kit for like $75 I think or spend like $10-$20 on hard lines.

Re: hard steel brake line as feed line
Stainless as in the real deal stuff is expensive. Aeroquip is good stuff, but you shouldn't need it for an everyday setup. I used to spend about 12 bux a foot for -12 braided from them rated at 1200psi. And that's not including the fittings either.

Re: hard steel brake line as feed line
as long as the the line is not touching anything it will be fine.

Re: hard steel brake line as feed line
u want cheap, i went to a place that deals in semi truck air hoses and llines, 17 bucks for braided line like 36 inches long, it included the -an fittings on it as well. so all i needed was a fitting for the back of my block and one for the turbo :) like 25 dollars later u have urself a oil line, no different then any other ones.

$75 said and done. or: $10-20 on lines and time to bend fittings for block return line return fittings for turbo fitting for pan It really isn't worth it IMO, especially if you have to ask this many questions on how to make it work. |
