Ares3985 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 So I noticed that I have the tiniest leak on my turbo oil feed line. It’s tight so I’m unsure why it is leaking so I figured I should replace it. Is there a specific kit to replace just the top section? I saw a lot of different types of lines. Just unsure of the sizes. I’d rather a braided line than the oem one. Anyone replace this before? If so maybe drop a link if you could.

Max Capacity Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) If that leak is just at that joint. You should be able to get https://www.google.com/search?q=voishan+conical+seals&oq=vorishan+seal&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.10547j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 We use them at work on AN fittings. If you can use some penetrating fluid and get that nut off the fitting, that seal should work and save you... FWIW, I didn't realize the price one from skygeek. You'd be sad to see how many of those we go through at work, they come in different material. Nickle, AL, SS. We get them in sleeves of 25 each.

Code Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I used this and built a custom-ish line for my setup http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ATP-FTG-030&Category_Code=ATP-OIL2 "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well." - Bill Shakespeare - car modder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORULZleggy Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 The shop is doing a custom line for me also. I would go braided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) You guys would be surprised how easy it is to make up your own steel braided lines. Hacksaw, masking tape, vise, basic wrenches. I made all the fuel and most of the oil and breather lines and water cooling for the turbo on the race car years ago.

Ordering a bunch of AN fittings and hose but I honestly have no idea what these sizes are or what I would need.
