Yeah, thats what I think I will end up doing.

Re: Holset Question

Just using a thread pitch gauge on a couple bolts and threading them in the turbo and it took me 4 minutes to figure out the thread and 11 more minutes to drive to a hydrualics shop to buy the fitting

I dont run any restrictor at all just a -4 feed and i run 5w50 oil.

I am unsure what 1/4 jic is. Is it the same as -4an?
If so, then this would work.

Re: Holset Question

JIC is referring to the 37degree flare fitting which is the standard for hydrualics etc and is basically the same as AN.-4 is 1/4.The link you gave was for a 10mm but here is the one you want.The oil drain is standard T3/T4 if you need one of those too.

Re: Holset Question

Cool, thanks for the info. yeah, I realized later that I had posted the wrong link to the adapter. :1
I take it the drain flange is a 50.8 mm? I measured the bolt spacing on the oil return on the Holset and it looked to be ~51mm.
