Steel Banjo's And Bolts - Where Can You Get Them

[tridentt150v]

As the title says.

I got some from GCG, but they are speedflow/alloy. I'd prefer steel, zinc plated is OK, but stainless would be better.

Nothing wrong with speedflow, just like the durability and hardness of steel.

Before I run up a million dollar bill on std calls, thought I'd ask here first.

PS the oil banjo and banjo bolt from GCG is stainless, so I'm Ok for it.

if you are mounting that turbo low mount you will have an issue with the oil feed line.

[tridentt150v]

How?

[mad082]

the braided hose they give you with the 90 degree bends doesn't fit. you have to take 1 of the 90 degree bends off. i tried rolling the housing, but then the wastegate wouldn't work.

[BHDave]

No you wont. Though it will be tight and you may need to angle the cart slightly to give yourself space to get the fitting on. Mine is angled about 5 degrees anti clockwise looking from the front so the oil fitting clears the number 1 runner on the hks manifold.

But mine has a bolt on adapter to suit the old t3 2 bolt inlet with a 90 degree bend attached to that, and then a male male adapter and then a flexible line so it takes a bit of room

I don't have water lines so cant help you there, though i figured if i went a water cooled turbo i would just get some earls lines with a 90 on the turbo end and a male male adapter (compression fitting, same as my oil line) screwed into the turbo.

[mad082]

i rolled the cartridge in both directions, and it still wasn't going to fit.

[tridentt150v]

I didn't get the GCG hose kit!!

All I got was the fittings. The oil feed fitting is a banjo and bolt. There is no 90 degree bend, I won't have any problem that I can see. I'll get s/s hose swaged onto the end of the banjo by pirtek/enzed and I'm pretty sure it will fit fine.

The only place I have 90 degree bends is thwe speedflow water line units which I don't want to use, I'd much rather have normal steel banjo and bolt units similar to std fittings.

If your still certain I'll have problems, a pic would be good.

[mad082]

oh well in that case you won't have any issues.

Motorsport connections sell speedflow in stainless in most of the sizes

[tridentt150v]

Thanks, I'll give them a try.

I think water cooled T2/T25 plain bearing turbos used the same sized banjo bolts so if your friendly with a wrecker you could be in luck .

[Cubes]

So the water is a 14mm Banjo with a M14 x 1.5 banjo bolt and the oil feed a 7/16 Banjo with a Inverted Flare 7/16-24 Banjo Bolt.

I checked out motorsport connections but they only have the m14x1.5 banjo bolt listed, not the banjo w/hose end its self. Might drop them a line to see if they are available. :S

Im 99% sure ive got one off them before

[tridentt150v]

I'll let you know for sure once they answer me.

i rang up every bolt place in sydney looking for a specific banjo. motorsport connections was the only place that had one for me, but it was alloy

[tridentt150v]

Motorsport Connection = 14mm = Alloy only. Just got off the phone to them.

I'll try Enzed or Pirtek and see what they say?

[ardie]

hey mate iv got some im not using from my HKS 3037 (same turbo your using if i remember properly), cant remember what their made of but i can check out when i get home from work tonight if your still interested

[tridentt150v]

Yes please.

[D_Stirls]

MTQ are another one that suply's the fitting your after. I have been to the Adelaide store but they have them all round australia.

call 1800282530.

[tridentt150v]

thanks, I'll give them a try. So far, plenty of alloy sfa steel, no s/s.

I can get the bolts in zinc plated [standard] steel, but no web site has what I want. And no banjo's. Pirtek, Enzed, Goodridge, ATP, HPF, and others as well. But you'd have to lay money on someone having exactly what I'm after, I'm just not looking in the right places.
