mate Enzed etc is your friend. i used teflon braided -4 lines with plenty of heat unsulation and 200 series fittings, but only because mine is an RB30 block and the stock lines don't work well. stick with the hard lines if you can, less stuffing around, $ and no problems with heat in the long run. i would've if i could've.

Most people stick with factory lines as they are by FAR the best for the purpose.

Its going to be $$$ and a pain to get fittings down there when there is factory stuff that bolts on and can resist the heat

If you know the lengths and fittings required and what you want throw me a PM. My old man owns a Pirtek Franchise and i might be able to help you out

is that -4 for both oil and water?

from the ones i've seen its been -4 oil and -6 water

braided lines rock, ive got a braided line to my turbo, and my water lines have been chopped, expanded and had hoses clamped to them. as long as theyre properly insulated theyre great.

mine have made pulling the turbo out a 45min job and installing a 1hr job. the worst thing EVER is trying to get the standard water and oil lines to line up when going back on.

Hi Shane

-4 for both. the aperture for the water jacket in the turbo isn't much bigger. anyway...i'm not going back in there...i'm not...

pirtek or Enzed

just take the fittings with u so they can match it up

i had mine made by pirtek

i worked out how long i would need them and took the fittings with me so they could match up the thread size

[jeffworld2]

take it to pirtek and ask them for the lengths you need, and the fittings (i reccomend just going from the banjos if possible). then take the fittings and hose home and dummy fit to get the angles you need on the banjos, then mark them or tape them up. go back to pirtek and get them swaged on and your done. saves swivel joints and removes one more thing to go wrong.

also, be aware that while pirtek guys are really switched on, they may or may not have heard of earl's fittings etc, which is why its easier to go from the banjo.

cost a bit but you will never have a problem again.

I use these guys to get all my braided hose and Speedflow fittings. Well worth a look -

How much did it cost the GTR owners in here to get the water and oil lines done?
