What Dash Weld On Fittings Would Be Suitable For Rb26 Oil Drain

[toy515]

hey guys im looking at running braided oil drains because of the hot stainless manifold just wouldering what size weld on dash fittings would fit best -8 or -10? im thinking of welding a fitting on the end of the bit that comes of the block and another one on the drain bit of the turbo? just wondering what size fitting?

cheers

More like what fitting has the same size ID as the standard return lines. Atleast -10 minimum I reckon.

Use this gear over the drains, if you CBF'd using an fittings

id rather use fittings in think? the drain is like 3mm of the manifold. would -10 be ok or should i go to a -12?

why not just use some mandrel bent tube for the majority of the oil drain?

that was my other option if i cant find -10 -12 steel weld on fittings

That flame guard stuff is useless if it gets too close to the manifold, mine has dried out and just crumbles when you touch it.

-10 on the drain will be fine

ATP, GCG etc all sell an drain adaptors for around $30-40 and I'm using a speedflow adaptor out of the block (currently rubber on a hose tail but will be repacing shortly).

Steel pipe will be ALOT more durable than any braided lines when mounted close to a heat scource, reguardless of what you wrap them in. The red firesleve (aeroquip) is designed to be a flash flame protection cover not an absolute thermal barrier for 1200 deg C...

My suggestion is to use the standard or standard style drain tube. Get the drain tube to line up 5 or 6 cm from the drain fitting on the block and use a short peice of high temp rated hose, with good quality stainless steel hose clamps to join them. As long as you flare the ends of both tubes, the hose will never come off.

If your super woried about leaks, just double clamp each end.

My 2 cents

Could always wrap the manifold as another measure.

^ I think they can input whatever they want.

I can see this being another classic SAU discussion.

make a solid oil drain pipe out of stainless dont even need to worry about mandrels just keep it flowing down wards and lobster back style it.. than use 3/4" aeroquip hose from the drain pipe to the fittin on the block. usually takes me about 20-30 minutes to knock one together, its never goin to melt because its to close to the manifold, its never goin to run the risk of collapsing

Nice set up...
