did you get yours there?

Re:what tee do i use for oil passage?
 

Well how about a bit more info?

Engine?
Turbo?

Not everyone has a honda here... :-*

If it is a honda, 1/8 NPT is the thread pitch off the back of the block. you can then T into it with a Extension and splitter. Then however you run your oil feed is up to you, if you want to use a barb, or get a -an fitting.

well i have a honda civic ;D With a B18a motor. So where can i find the steel oil lines? I have a T3/T4 hybrid turbo.

Re:what tee do i use for oil passage?
 

Braided line you mean? -an sized hose? You can get that through summit/jegs or a local race shop.

I would go with a -an 4 hose. The inlet for the oil feed on the t3/t4 is a 1/8 npt fitting as well. So its pretty basic stuff.

you will need (2) 1/8 to -an4 fittings and the 3 way 1/8 splitter and a brass 1/8 extension.

The brass fittings you can get at napa or local hardware stores.

how much does all those cost altogether? what's fitting does the T3/T4 uses? the brass T extension is for the oil return to the oil pan?

Re:what tee do i use for oil passage?
 

It varys dude, Each -An fitting is about 5 bucks, Braided line is about 30 bucks. Brass fittings are about 5 bucks.

Call around.

Re:what tee do i use for oil passage?
 

I think you need to re-read my posts dude, I explain what you need for your oil feed, where to get it and how much it costs. I also state which size fitting you need for your turbo.

Oil return is a differnt story, you will need to get a Oil return flange, (drain)

You can get one at

15 bucks w/ gasket, you will then need to weld a fitting in your oil pan. Then connect the 2 fittings together, with some basic rubber 5/8 hose, and hose clamp it.

Does the -an 4 Braided line have 1/8 fitting?

Re:what tee do i use for oil passage?
 

it should

Re:what tee do i use for oil passage?
 

does it hurt any performance if you use a silicone hose for an oil feed? i know everyone uses steel braided, but on your website, some of you used silicone hoses...thanks

Re:what tee do i use for oil passage?
 

i thought that the back of a honda block used BSP (or is it bst)fittings and to use a NPT you had to run a npt tap through it...

Re:what tee do i use for oil passage?
 

The Honda oil passage is actually taped to 1/8 BPT, not 1/8 NPT. The difference is that the BPT has 28 threads per inch while the NPT has 27. Since the block is aluminum, you can force the 1/8 NPT fitting in but you will weaken the connection. You will need a Fitting, 1/8 Male BSP Taper to 1/8 Female NPT Adapter if you don't want to ruin the threads in the block. After you install this adapter you can use 1/8 NPT for the rest of the lines and fittings. The adapter costs about $2.38 and can be found on the web. A good mechanic knows, "if you can't start a bolt or nut by hand then there is something wrong".

Re:what tee do i use for oil passage?
 

That is true that the block is a 1/8 bpt, but I can get all my 1/8 npt fittings to start by hand. then use teflon tape and screw it in with some vise grips, not once has one broke or leaked.


Yes you can use silicone hose, (as long as it is high pressure)
