Hello everyone. First ever post and I need help. I got a IHI MX-6 turbo in good condition, but I am missing the oil feed connector. Does anybody know what kind of connector or end fitting I need? Thanks for the replies.

 

you will need a fitting that has the thread size of the oil inlet on the turbo and on the other side the thread size for the SS lines. I want to say they are called NTP fittings but i know im wrong. Mabye someone else can exsplain it better than me. :P

 

banjo

 

the thread pitch INTO the turbo is ------ wierd, brang it to a couple places that sold fittings and they looked at it like it came from Mars. if the flared fitting is there and your near seattle i have the metal line that goes to that turbo...

 

yea its like a real coarse thread the hard line that the banjo bolt goes through...if that is what u have and he doesnt want it ill take it,ull have to ship it but of course ill pay for it.did u ever try to get fittings for the ocoolent in and out??p.s. is it the complete line,i have one but its broke real short

 

Thanks for the help. I think I might ask a Mazda dealership for the banjo fitting since it is probably hard to get from your local plumbing store or Home Depot.

 

yes banjo

do not ------- use NPT fittings in place of banjo, banjo is there to restrict flow of 80psi oil to turbo, my friend who is on this board has the same turbo as me and same feed (-3an) and -10 return and he killed his seals.... because he threw away the banjo.... me... happily boosting since day 1

 

Is that how much pressure it is on the oil line? And your friend killed his seals coz there is too much oil pressure?
