Is there a HMT DIY cheapo oil feed/return thread yet?
 

Like title says, whats the cheapest I can go on one?

Re: Is there a HMT DIY cheapo oil feed/return thread yet?
 

buy some aeroquip socketless line (dont need -an fittings, just barbed fittings), either a tunertoys block fitting or a barbed fitting for the block, and the other fittings you need for your turbo and pan. i did my first oil line setup for about 15 bucks. or you could get a nice stealthmode kit

go use some sandwich bags if ya want. I'm sure it'll work.


Really.. why skimp on something so important to the life of your turbo? I'm sure you could jerry rig it with JBweld.

we here at hmt use stealthmode performance oil line kits.

its still DIY because steve hand cuts all the oil line himself, and gives online handjobs too. free mustang traction kit with purchase.

I don't see the thread for the lines in the forsale forum. Link anyone?

you can get the parts from mcmaster for about $40. i did it before and it worked fine.
if you want to save time and use something that is ready to go, buy from steve and don't look back.

You guys are classic. :D


If you were to put together your own oil line kit, I would highly suggest starting off with the tunertoys block fitting. It's a nightmare trying to find BSPT anything at a hardware store. After that, the drain flange should be the worst you had to deal with.

im running the $2 drain flange from the hardware store. in the plumbing section where they have galvanized piping, take the barbed fitting and you will find a post end. use a file or the side of the cutting disk to make it flat and extend the holes to match whatever turbo you are running.
The good thing is that it's not as thick and the tunertoys so the bend doesnt start as low.
yes, pictures would be good. maybe i'll take a trip to the store tomorrow.
for the bspt block fitting, mcmaster has that as well.

diy works fine. thats how this site started.
steves kits are great also. *cough* plug *cough*
