1jz turbo oil feed?

[chuckmuska2005]

I got an aftermarket oil feed line for my turbo and don't know where to install in on the motor. I figured I'd use one of the factory feed holes but my fitting is too small. I've heard of running a line around to the filter location but I don't want to run all that line. If you guys could throw up some pictures of where you installed yours and what you used it would help me alot.

What's wrong with the factory feeds?

Use a 10x1.25mm to -4AN adapter (or -3AN dependign on how big your oil line is), screw it into the block, and screw your oil line to that.

Sorry, best picture I have.

They're 12m 1.25.

I thought it was M12x1.25??

 

[annoyingrob]

whoops, sorry. 12x1.25mm.

Anyways, just get an adapter from that to whatever your oil feed is. Now that I re-read it, I have a feeling your feed is threaded 3/8" NPT?

Not completely sure, I'm going to summit racing and getting the fitting I need.

summit does not have the fitting you need its a whact size.....anyway heres what the -3an sized one looks like if your going single use the front feed and block the rear oil hole:

heres a goodridge fitting part # its a -4an M12x1.25: 305-04-M122 and this (i think) is a -3anx M12x1.25: # 305-03-M122

summit offers a 12m 1.25 ->4an fitting.

yeah, the summit ones are in a funny spot, like carb adapters or something, but they do have them.

ohh sweet. well i didnt use a -4 due to it over oiling the turbo(and they didnt have it at the time too) but good news none the less i found the one your talking about on summit, heres the link:

-4AN by M12x1.25

 

[chuckmuska2005]

I got the -4an fitting from summit, I had to bore out the small hole in the feed flange to the turbo to a slightly larger one. Another question, since im running the -4 feed line on my gt45 setup, could the -4an cause it to over oil the turbo? I do have a -10an return.

Here's a pic of the feed flange to the turbo before it was bored out.

And after,

is the gt45 ball bearing? ball bearing turbos need less oil pressure/flow then a journal bearing turbo, thats why theres such a small hole in the flange.

If its a journal bearing then itll be fine. I ran a -4 without issues.

 

[chuckmuska2005]

Considering what I paid for the turbo, I'm believing it to be journal bearing.

I need the answer to this also, as my oil feed flange has the same size hole; i have a 62-1...

 

[annoyingrob]

I run a -4AN on my GT40.

I run a -4AN on my GT40.

No problems?

Nope.
