Quick Question

[MrTerry]

Hey just a quick question, got a turbo kit off gcg that came with their oil and water line kit. Im attempting to screw the oil feed line into the turbo, i was under the impression it would go

turbo -> copper washer -> banjo bolt -> copper washer -> the rest of the line,

but the banjo bolt doesnt screw in far enough on either the turbo side, or the side where the rest of the line screws in to it which makes them pretty uselss (they just rattle around it cant go tight enough!)

Am i doing something wrong or should i just grab some fatter copper washers?

Thanks in advance ive never installed a turbo before, just want to make sure i dont stuff it

Are you sure your not using the bolt thats meant to go on the block?

Double check your works.

[MrTerry]

yeah the other banjo bolt is slightly larger in diameter and wont fit in the hole on the turbo, so it has to be the one i tried

to answer the specific question - yes that is right there is 1 copper washer between each surface. so if it is the bolt meant for that location, it is too long

[MrTerry]

This is the bolt screwed into the oil line, the gap to the right of the washer is the problem, the same gap occurs when i screw it in to the turbo. it is fully screwed in. i was hoping the kit would all just bolt together >.<

Thats not a banjo bolt mate.

[MrTerry]

oh lol >.< well its a bolt with a hole through the middle anyhow, everything else has fit where i thought it should go this bit is just pissing me off

[MrTerry]

solved via pms, for anyone as clueless as me about this sort of stuff that comes accross this via searches one day, fittings with tapered ends seal against a little bit of rubber where they screw in to, the washers dont go there.
