Sourcing Some Cheap Turbo Fittings - An To Mm

[No Crust Racing]

Where are you guys sourcing turbo fittings from, the local Enzed what rediculous dollars for what seem to be basic fittings.

I need a 4AN to 14mm banjo and a 4AN to 14mm straight through.

Are there any cheap places online besides eBay?

Dont buy cheap fitting last thing you want is for them to fail and piss out oil and coolant or not even seal at all its worth paying abit more for fittings.

I should clarify, i don't mean Clints Crazy Bargains fittings, i just mean an alternate source to Pirtek/Enzed locally who seem to want to charge a bunch.

All I'm doing is a fitting a bigger turbo a track based S13 with a CA in it, it's budget racing

I bought my teflon lines and fittings from TORQUES an ebay seller in the UK, very good prices and better quality than the Proflow gear I bought locally. No issues with them so far after 6 odd months running eflex.

[No Crust Racing]

No luck with that Seller name? There is a Torques listed in the US but nothing for sale.

[N1GTR]

He said UK

[No Crust Racing]

I know, my point was that was the closest match.

[N1GTR]

Fair enough!

[No Crust Racing]

Yeah Supra driving Steve, back in your box

(I even went to eBay UK specifically and tried before making the above comment).

[scotty nm35]

I searched and couldn't find him either, perhaps he is no longer selling or trading under another name now?

go to any decent industrial hydraulics supplier. (yellow pages is your friend) forget calling them AN as they will look at you with a blank look. tell them you want JIC fittings like every 1 else does except car part suppliers.

I use all Eaton (which is the industrial brand of Aeroquip) fittings on my car there cheaper & heavier duty, but they don't come in pretty colours.

Thanks mate, all sorted

If using a Garrett small frame BB turbo re use the banjos from the std T25 based turbo . Most of the hydraulics suppliers sell -4 AN weld on fittings , you drill them to suit the std shortened steel banjo tube and braze them on . Simple and looks factory because the banjos are . You'll find they are the most compact too and compact is good with turbo fittings .

I just came across SpeedflowDirect. They have by far the best prices I've come across for Speedflow gear (unfortunately I recently purchased my items ). I just received an email from Andy there they are located in Adelaide but freight won't be much for fittings and a bit of hose. They guys name is Andy.

If anyone is in Melbourne, MSCN have 'opened' up a store which is now part of Meridian Motorsport in the same location in Moorabbin/Cheltenham.

I missed out on the good pricing but hopefully this might help someone else

As urtwhistle mentioned, for simple Metric to AN adaptors, ie for RB block water fittings, you could try hydraulic distributors, ie Hardy Spicer, Hydraulink, Soutcott, Enzed & Pirtek etc. They will refer to them as Metric to JIC fittings. AN is only really used in the Auto industry as far as I can tell.

While I'm at it I figured I'd add the items I was getting for my GT-RS (GT2871R) turbo water lines..

WATER HOSE

-6 HOSE (200 Series, TEFLON) [200-06]

For 1 Turbo end..

14.5mm BANJO to -6AN [720-06]

BANJO BOLT (M14 x 1.5) [725-06]

-6 HOSE to -6AN 45 DEG (200 Series) [202-06-D]

For other Turbo end..

14.5mm BANJO to -6AN [720-06]

BANJO BOLT (M14 x 1.5) [725-06]

-6 HOSE to -6AN Straight (200 Series) [201-06-D]

For Block water outlet.

M14 x 1.5 to -6AN metric adaptor [732-06]

-6 HOSE to -6AN 90 DEG (200 Series) [203-06-D] - For Block end

I didn't get the Oil fittings (came with turbo) but below looks to be what is required.

OIL HOSE

-4 HOSE (200 Series, TEFLON) [200-04]

Block end - Oil outlet.

M12 x 1.25 to -4AN [358-04], possibly [730-04]

-4 HOSE to -4AN Straight (200 Series) [201-04-D or 201-04]

Turbo End

7/16" Eye Banjo to -4AN [311-04]

7/16" Banjo Bolt [300-04]

-4 HOSE to -4AN 90 deg (200 Series) [203-04-D or 203-04]

You may want to use slightly different combos depending on what your setup is so that is definitely not a one size fits all but should give a bit of an idea as to what sizes are required. I found it hard to find all this info in one place. I am going to use the exisitng oil drain parts but you could use a Turbocharger adaptor with some -10AN hose and fittings.

You can also do this cheaper with the SS hose with rubber lining but I went the teflon lined hose for added protection. I'm going even further and getting some black Insultherm sleeving from Thermo-Tec to further protect things.

AN is a US military designation.

If you don't mind waiting, you can get fittings and hose from summitracing.com for good prices

[Fry_33]

Ah true, forgot about them.. they seem like they are great prices.
