Turbo oil feed pipe
Hi all can any one advise a good alternative to the ridged pipe that feeds the turbo on what I deem a version 5 classic engine -
I have fitted a front mounted intercollegiate and spun the turbo compressor housing to keep the pipe runs short
This creates the issue of the original pipe not fitting
I though I would just have a banjo flexi pipe made up, but the thread in block is really odd
questions
does anyone know if there is a kit that I can buy to replace the original steel pipe
There is a spring restrictor I think in the banjo bolt - how important is that
Does anyone know what the the thread is in the block?
Any help would be appreciated this is the last issue to get over before I can fire the old girl up

Just take your old hard line pipework off the engine and get your local hydraulic pipe company to put an end on it then make up the flex pipe to suit with the proper ends on

There is no thread in the block.
The thread in the head is M14 x 1.5, not at all uncommon for a banjo.
The restrictor is very important.
I'm struggling to understand why the original pipe won't work? Have you spun the cartridge or compressor hosting? Or does a hose now hit it?

Hi thanks for the reply folks = yes tapped hole in the head not block
I have spun the compressor housing so its a bit of a mixture of things that hit the original pipe
please see my other post FMC instalation on classic rally car
went to my local hose shop that litrally packed to the rafter with fittings but could not get any nut to fit on the Banjo bolt to ID the thread
thanks for the lead ill take a look

just wanted to Thank FMJ for the lead on HEL
They are making me up a special - what a great company dead helpfull nothing was a problem, my hose is 200mm longer than the standard but the same price
They also knew a bit about the job which helps
let see what turns up but I would be shocked if there any issues - just seemed too thorough and asked the right questions
