I had a ss braided oil feed line fabbed but the 1/8 npt doesn't fit as I thought it should. It's slightly smaller. The stock metal oil feed line and fitting are currently connected to the turbo. Whatever the size, it's just a teenie bit larger in diameter than the 1/8 npt.
Anyone have a clue what size fitting to use? Do some Garretts use a 1/8 bpt by chance? What in the hell could this be?

 

word... i noticed that too... Maybe you should get the 2 bolt flange to fit over the hole and a gasket and make an adaptor?

 

There aren't any holes for a flange.

 

wierd... there are on mine

edit... does your turbo look like this

i had the same problem with mine. so i went to the hardware store and the guy put together this little adapter using the fitting that was on the turbo. put it on the hardline and putting an 1/8" NPT on the other end and i screwed my oil line to that. works like a charm. take the one thats on the turbo now and the oil line and tell him your situation. they can do it for you

 

Nope, my 300zx turbo must be the other one, not the one you linked me to.
Thanks for the advice regarding the hardware store!

 

If the hole is smaller, I would recommend buying a 1/8 tap set to thread the hole to 1/8npt. I think the set is around $12

 

Stealth, the hole in the turbo is actually larger in diameter than the 1/8 npt fitting I have. I really wish I knew what size fitting it accepts. It would be much more simple if I could buy an appropriate fitting.
I suppose the majority of Garrett turbos use 1/8 npt but the one I have does not.
This is a big glitch in my setup so if anyone can help in any way I certainly appreciate it.
