I need to pick up a 90* elbow for my t3 turbo drain. The turbo hangs low and the oil pan fitting is welded in there kinda high so, because of this my oil drain hose comes down off the Brass Barbed fitting and then has to round back up and onto the pan's barbed fitting, which is making the turbo's oil overflow the seals and smoke. So i was wondering if anyone could tell me what size and thread count(hopefully it's SAE, that's all Napa's got)the big threaded end of the brass barbed fitting is that goes between the Tunertoys aluminum flange and the drain hose? thanks guys, I'm away from home where my car is and I need to pick something up to try and fix it, i'm gonna thread it into the TT flange, and put the hose around the other threaded male end. thanks again

Should be NPT, but don't take that as gospel. I got a 30 degree elbow and tapped that in the the fitting on top of that. Look into that instead of a 90. I think it would work better. My opinion.

You could also just get a 90 that fits into the hose and use hose and clamps on each end to connect it.

that's what i was thinking about too, but i think that in the end it would still hang just a bit* low. right now the turbo barbed fitting and pan fitting are about equal heights,(that is, at the bottom end of the turbo fitting is almost as low as the pan's fitting)have you guys had the same trouble's?? and how level or on a downslope does it need to be anyway's??

yeah, I've been told that before, just figured if i could fix my drain to a nice smooth gradual down hill i wouldn't have to pick one up

Take a picture of it.

Sounds like your fitting on the pan si just too high.

T3 drain flanges use 1/2" npt male thread to 1/2" barb
T25 and 14B flanges use 3/8npt male thread to 1/2" barb.
