Oil And Water Supply/feed For Top Mount Gt3076r Turbo

[Simon-S14]

lol

easiest way is to get one of these long straight drains from MTQ http://www.sonicperformance.com.au/Turbo-A...il-drain/pl.php

then run some oil proof hose down and into thr block return. clamp on either end and sleeve it with heat proof insulation if you wanted.

simple and reliable.

As for your JIC fitting in the oil feed needing a washer.. they are a flare fitting so the seal is created on the flare not omn a washer like banjo bolts.

thanks Simon - I didn't realise you could buy those long oil drain flanges. However mine needs to be at an angle to prevent it hitting the manifold.

anyway I mocked up an oil return pipe at home using some old aircon pipe which was flexible and malleable. I fitted this into my old oil return flange and took it down to the metalworker near me. He's gonna make me the flange and hardpipe as one piece so its probably gonna take a couple of back and to trips to his place for adjustments but at least I dont have to worry about heat wrapping etc, after all that. If I can get it past the manifold then I'll just use some silicon hose to connect it up to the block return.

if this doesn't work I'll have to look into something else but I feel fairly confident it should... famous last words!

yeh im gonna get a hard drain made.. as the drain hose will be sitting wayt oo close to the manifold.

@rad32 thats what swayed me mate. I think I should be okay once I wrap the other lines for a bit of added protection. I might make up a shield from some aluminium to cover the turbo too to protect the bonnet from the heat temps.

yeh i got a turbo beanie to help.. then ill use what i have left of my heat wrap to put around some stuff.. might look messy but id rather not burn shit while im on the track..

Just wondering if you guys, or anyone else for that matter who views this, has had problems with lines touching the manifold? I am currently doing my lines, and pretty much all of them are going quite close/touching to the whole manifold/gate/dump area....

You will need to re do the lines then, I never had a drama with my high mount.

[soturi]

Just wondering if it matters (for water flow and return), which side of the turbo they actually go into?

Atm if your looking from the exhaust housing at the turbo.....

oil feed at the top

return on the left, flow on the right

Is this correct??

Hi, guys

Similar question, so thought i'd be better off hijacking than starting a new thread...

I currently have a KKR turbo, with it's own special oil feed and return lines, and it's not water cooled.

I'm going to go to a GT3076 on stock manifold next week, where should I buy oil and water lines from? I heard going the eBay route was a bad idea? I don't need anything super-amazing, just whatever gets the job done properly

get some made up at a hose specialist. easiest way is to take in the turbo and something with the same thread as the fittings in the block you need, then explain what you need.

water flow doesnt matter, can go either way

Champion, thx for that
