identify hose thread

[Sophia_Bush]

right I need to get hose adapter, I know thread in block is m16x1.5 but if you look at this link I need to know what thread the hose has so I get the right fitting.

What model turbo are you running this on?

There's a company in london i know that supply loads of mocal stuff, they can also make up custom turbo pipes... Last one i had cost £40 which would of been less if i didn't ask for a 125degree solid pipe peice

And was for a t25 from a nissan to fit a 306dturbo.

kris I've got the exact same hose in the link banjo bit is in the turbo already I just need an adapter bit so I can attach to the block, I know the pressure switch thread in the block is m16x1.5 just need to work out what the thread on the hose is. As arkward as it is I haven't got the kit yet

[blackie_2k5]

wait till it arrives and take it to the fitting place?

or are you not buying it?

[KrisB]

...and the pictures are quite small.

1/8th NPT is a popular oil pipe thread, so is 1/4 NPT.

And by the way, 1/8 is not one eigth of an inch when it comes to this stuff i don't think!

wait untill you get it then send it to Thinkautomotive
i bought what was supposed to be -4AN fitting from taiwan and it was miles smaller than -4AN
i sent the fitting to think in the end and they made exactly what i wanted and was fairly cheap

[Sophia_Bush]

i've not actually bought that kit since Im buying steves whole setup this hose is included but t piece isn't so I need to sort an adapter to screw into hose that will then screw into the pressure switch hole which is m16x1.5 think may have to wait no biggy I guess

[KrisB]

Thats the one, think automotive. Saves me searching through that build thread and my emails :D

I went there personally, got it done on the spot :)

[KrisB]

Surely then you'd want one of these? And maybe an adaptor for it?

I'd drill out the feed hole personally just another 1 or 2mm so it's not so restrictive.

[Sophia_Bush]

I think will be a case of waiting doesn't matter if it takes another day or so for the car to be on the road

[tweeqd]

you need to be carefull about drilling out the feed hole, its not just GT turbos that need a certain restriction
my T34 has a restrictor between the line in and the turbo

[KrisB]

Oh fair do's, this WAS for a diesel, a couple of other lads has problems with oil starvation with restrictors on the Diesels.... However, most of the tuned 306 diesels now are running mainly 25psi and one i know running over 50psi.

ah no worries it's only a baby t2 should be ok
